Bata India Faces Analyst Downgrades Amid Weak Q4 Performance
Bata India is experiencing headwinds as Goldman Sachs maintains a 'Sell' rating with a price target of ₹1,100.00, and Nuvama Institutional Equities downgrades to 'Reduce' with a target of ₹1,011.00. These revisions follow Bata's weak Q4 performance, particularly in gross margins. The company plans to scale up Zero Base Merchandising and expand its franchise store network in response. Analysts have reduced revenue and profit estimates for FY26 and FY27, projecting a potential 20% decline in stock price.
