FSN E-Commerce Ventures (Nykaa) / Equity Capital Markets

We continue our focus on the coverage of IPO bound start-ups and next is none other than <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/fsn-e-commerce-ventures-nykaa" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:33796:1" rel="noopener">FSN E-Commerce Ventures (Nykaa) (1003622D IN)</a>. However, Nykaa stands apart from the rest since it is the one of those rare finds that have a positive profitability and this is why it looks promising in nature. Another differentiating aspect is that Nykaa operates as an omni-channel entity, having as many as 73 physical stores across the country. (However, most of the revenue is generated online).Nykaa was founded only in 2012 and has gained a strong foothold in the beauty and personal care (BPC) space especially in the last few years. According to RedSeer, the company is the largest Specialty BPC platform in India in terms of value of products sold in F21. The company manages its BPC predominantly through inventory model, not to forget that it also has its own brands which it outsources the manufacturing. Nykaa has also started the ball rolling in the fashion territory in 2018, for which it mostly acts as a market place for its consumers and vendors.Nykaa has a strong operational characteristics, there is hardly any doubt; however, one needs to look beyond it to get a more comprehensive view of the financials and governance. There are a few concerns on the accounting front that should not be overlooked. We also find stains on the governance, primarily related to remuneration of MD. Further, there were several small risk factors which were disclosed, that had acted as a resistance force in the past.

Technical and Quantitative Research

Vermilion Research

Vermilion’s objective is to deliver timely, actionable, and unique technical research to professional investors through the application of our various technical indicators.

Our research strategists seek to highlight securities which we believe are at major inflection points, based on our various technical and quantitative indicators, and offer asymmetric risk/return profiles. Our unique research methodology, centered on relative strength, enables our strategists to deliver superior investment recommendations.

Our process begins by organizing the universe of actively traded stocks into discrete sectors, then into industry groups. We then apply our technical and quantitative tools to identify developing price trends. Once attractive trends are identified within a selected sector or group, we screen for individual stocks which we believe offer the best risk/reward profile. We provide a historical perspective that often reveals, through our long-term charts, how price patterns often repeat themselves over time.

Technical Analysis

In today's report we highlight key levels and several metrics we are watching that will provide us clues as to where the S&amp;P 500 is headed next. We also highlight several attractive stocks from a relative strength perspective across Sectors.
