Analyst Explains Why They Downgraded Their Rating on Yatra Online Inc (YTRA)


In a report released today, Jed Kelly from Oppenheimer downgraded Yatra Online Inc (YTRA) to Hold. The company’s shares closed on Friday at $4.92.

Kelly commented:

“We are downgrading YTRA to Perform and removing our $8.00 price target. We applaud management’s greater focus on profitability, but lower our F20E INR net revenue growth by 4% to +15% y/y, vs. F3Q:19’s 14%, with limited visibility into potential acceleration. In addition, we are forecasting F20 marketing leverage of +370bps y/y, which we believe is underwhelming for an emerging market company growing revenue in the mid-teens, while also limiting the narrative that the corporate segment is a differentiator to MMYT. Next catalyst is F4Q:19 report (late May/early June), so shares are likely range-bound based on decelerating revenue trends. We would get more constructive if mgmt 1) breaks out the corporate segments to exhibit greater SOTP value or 2) forms a strategic partnership with its OTA segment to generate better marketing leverage.”

According to TipRanks.com, Kelly is ranked #1267 out of 5142 analysts.
