Fabindia IPO’s Pros and Cons

Pros Cons
In comparison to its rivals, Fabindia has higher EBITDA margins. Backward integration and an effective store structure are the driving factors in this. The rise of online retailers might hurt the company’s operations, financial situation, and business and may put pricing pressure.
Between Fiscal 2022 and Fiscal 2026, the branded ethnic apparel category is anticipated to expand at a faster pace of around 15.8% annually, driven by the growing share of the branded sector in the ethnic apparel market as a whole. Company has been and may still be negatively impacted by the economic crisis since it depends on consumers’ discretionary spending.
