Nuvama Institutional Equities upgraded Delhivery to 'buy' from 'hold'. However, the brokerage cut its target price to Rs 400 per share, down from Rs 473 earlier.

"While margins are likely to recover once the investments towards upgradation are over, we believe the current price point creates a reasonable level for entry. We are cutting estimates to reflect Q2 margin showing and outlook. Delhivery can sustain high valuation, in our opinion, given its market leadership in express parcel and ability to create and scale new segments," said the brokerage.

Emkay Global retained its 'buy' tag, but cut its target price on the player to Rs 475 apiece. "Industry headwinds have caused the volume trajectory in the B2C segment to be muted. We remain circumspect of management commentary around the limited impact on volumes owing to insourcing, but draw comfort from initiatives planned for bolstering volume growth," said the brokerage.
