Anand Rathi has given IndiaMART InterMESH Limited, a mid-cap E-commerce business, a buy call. The brokerage calculated a target price of Rs 5,500 per share. The stock is expected to rise 25% from its current level, according to the brokerage's target price. It has a market capitalisation of Rs 13,388.21 crore.

The brokerage recently met the IndiaMart management. 1) With ~38% of India's MSMEs using the internet for business (vs 90% in China), e-classifieds holds substantial growth potential, 2)Focus on growing collections at a 20% CAGR ahead, 3) FY23 margins should be ~28-28.5% and expand from next year with revenue growth.

Vast headroom for growth based on TAM. TAM has two constituents

TAM has two constituents: free and paid suppliers. Approx. 25m (~39%) of India's ~63.5m MSMEs use the internet. GST-registered supplier MSMEs are ~13m (20%). Of the free suppliers (IndiaMart's ~7.3m in Q2 FY23), the company is focusing on everyone to get on board; of paid suppliers, though (188,092 in Q2 FY23), it is focusing on only GST-registered suppliers. Hence, its paid suppliers are just 1.44% of GST-registered MSMEs in India & of its 7.3m free suppliers, it is just 2.57%. Hence, the company's focus for the next 3-5 years is to raise the number of its paid suppliers to 5% of GST-registered MSMEs, and 10% in the long term. Hence, the number of paid suppliers can easily move in the short to medium term to 3x-7x from now.

Margins should expand with growth in revenue

As the company will add ~8,000-10,000 paid suppliers every quarter, it will need more sales and servicing people. But as efficiency ramps up, margins should start recovering owing to the business' operating leverage. We expect 28.3%/29.6%/32.6% margins in FY23/FY24/FY25.

According to Anand Rathi, the key risks to the buy call would be, Loss of paying suppliers; concentration risk (top-1% and top-10% paid suppliers bring ~18% and 47% to revenue, respectively).
