Citi | Rating: Buy | Target: Raised to Rs 2,020 from Rs 1,655 per share

The company's Q3 profit missed the estimates, but the mid-term story remains intact. It is well placed in the attractive Indian food services business.

Proven strategies & good execution track record are the positives, while any weakness in the stock may be an enhanced buying opportunity.

The research house raised revenues but lowered EPS estimates by 3-7 percent post-earnings.

Kotak Institutional Equities | Rating: Downgrade to add from buy | Target: Raised to Rs 1,900 from Rs 1,600 per share

The 5.9 percent same-store-sales growth is healthy in the backdrop of the wider macro slowdown. However, the step-up in store expansion pace reflects the company's confidence in demand.

The research houses like the company as a structural play on high-growth organised QSR opportunity.

Credit Suisse | Rating: Underperform | Target: Raised to Rs 1,460 from Rs 1,300 per share

Credit Suisse remained cautious at current valuations as the demand environment remains challenging. The food aggregators could see a return of aggressiveness if they raise funds.

Morgan Stanley | Rating: Overweight | Target: Rs 1,900 per share

The continuing focus on cost rationalisation helped the company to mitigate input cost pressures. The improvement in SSSg & step-up in store expansion drives confidence.

MS lowered FY20-FY22 earnings estimates by 4 percent and likes the strategy of focusing on accelerating same-store sales growth.
