What to watch
- NMV growth remains above market expectations while revenue growth accelerates or holds.
- Losses narrow sequentially and contribution margin improves despite growth investments.
- Growth in active buyers, transacting sellers and order frequency outpaces logistics-cost growth.
- Evidence of improving delivery density, lower returns or stronger ad/merchant-services monetization.
- A miss on revenue, NMV or margin targets; renewed discounting by major competitors; or elevated cash burn.
- Additional target-price upgrades, institutional ownership disclosures or management commentary supporting an earlier path to profitability.
- Track the next quarterly update for NMV growth, revenue growth, adjusted losses and cash burn versus the Q1 FY27 trajectory.
- Watch whether management raises or reiterates guidance on profitability, fulfillment efficiency and seller monetization.
- Monitor competitor discounting and shipping-fee changes during major Indian festive-sale periods.
- Assess whether the rally broadens through higher delivery volumes and sustained trading above the prior resistance area rather than fading after the analyst upgrade.
