Analysts at Kotak expect Cello World to register 15 percent/18 percent/17 percent revenue /EBITDA/PAT CAGRs over FY24-27E. "We like Cello’s diversified portfolio, growth opportunities and financial discipline. The consistent delivery of low-to-mid teen earnings CAGR, portfolio augmentation through organic and inorganic route, and improvement in the working capital cycle could drive further re-rating," the brokerage firm said.
Since Cello enjoys 7 percent/2 percent/5 percent share in consumer houseware, writing instruments and stationery, and moulded furniture, analysts expect the company to lead the charge in the formalisation of
