Shares of Swiggy
nosedived more than 8% in morning trading to hit the day’s low at INR 335.40 apiece on the BSE on Friday (February 14).
With this, the stock has declined over 12% since the foodtech major reported weaker-than-expected earnings in the December quarter of the current fiscal year.
At 10:51 AM, the stock was trading at INR 336.90 on the BSE, down 7.80% from the previous close and 45% lower than its 52-week high.
The stock has ended in the red in 7 of the last 11 trading sessions.
On February 5, Swiggy reported a 39.1% increase in its consolidated net loss to INR 799 Cr in the third quarter of the ongoing financial year (Q3 FY25) from INR 574.4 Cr in the year-ago quarter.
However, operating revenue zoomed nearly 31% to INR 3,993.1 Cr during the quarter under review from INR 3,048.6 Cr in Q3 FY24.
In a recent research note, brokerage Citi highlighted that Swiggy Instamart is behind in the quick commerce race as rivals Blinkit and IPO-bound Zepto have cornered a higher market share.
According to the brokerage, Blinkit leads the quick commerce race with a 41% market share, while Instamart is likely at the third spot, behind Zepto, with an estimated 23% share in India’s burgeoning quick commerce market.
Citing industry reports and data traffic trends, analysts at Citi said Zepto’s market share might be “par/higher” than Swiggy, though they did not give an exact number for the IPO-bound quick commerce unicorn.
Swiggy’s quick commerce arm Instmart saw its loss widen 70% to INR 527.68 Cr in Q3 FY25 from INR 310.36 Cr in the year-ago quarter on account of continued investments towards dark store expansion across geographies.
