UBS: Quick Commerce to Recover as Margins Stabilize
UBS is optimistic about quick commerce, like Swiggy and Zomato, believing it will recover.
The market is expanding rapidly, now covering more cities and products, offering deliveries in 30-45 minutes.
Previously, rising marketing costs and expansion of dark stores caused margin pressure.
UBS thinks this pressure is easing as expansion slows, and a larger network is established.
Satellite communication's high cost may limit widespread adoption, so it is seen as a complementary service for telecom, useful in areas with no traditional networks.
UBS Investment Bank has a positive outlook on internet and quick commerce stocks like Swiggy and Zomato.
The quick commerce market is expanding at a rapid rate, approximately 100% annually.
The sector has broadened to include a wider range of product categories and expanded to nearly 100 cities.
Rising marketing costs and the expansion of dark stores have created margin pressure.
Telecom companies are partnering with satellite operators.
