Swiggy Q1 Preview: Top Brokerages Expect Steady Growth in Food Delivery and Quick Commerce

According to Motilal Oswal, Swiggy is likely to deliver healthy year-on-year growth across both its food delivery and quick commerce businesses during the June quarter. The brokerage expects the Gross Order Value (GOV) of the food delivery business to grow around 18.1% year-on-year, while Instamart's GOV is projected to rise by 40.8% over the same period.

The brokerage also expects food delivery take rates to remain healthy at around 22.5%, while Instamart's take rate is estimated at 13.4%. However, food delivery adjusted EBITDA margin is expected to soften marginally on a sequential basis to nearly 3% of GOV.

For Instamart, Motilal Oswal believes sequential growth could remain modest, with GOV likely to increase around 1% quarter-on-quarter. Despite continued investments, the brokerage expects contribution margins to improve significantly and move close to the breakeven level, reflecting better operating efficiency.

Morgan Stanley on Swiggy: Profitability in Focus

The brokerage also noted that leadership changes at Instamart could influence investor sentiment in the near term. While management transition may initially raise concerns over execution and market share, it could also pave the way for a refreshed business strategy aimed at strengthening the company's competitive position.
