With respect to Nazara Tech, the brokerage said that the revenue base of the company has become more diversified across business segments, thus helping reduce the overall risk. However, the high cost of content and higher marketing cost continues to weigh down on the operating margin of Nazara, it added.
YES Securities maintains a Neutral rating on Nazara Tech stock with a target price of Rs 687 a share, based on EV/EBITDA of 18x on FY24E. The stock trades at EV/EBITDA of 32.6x/17.9x on FY23E/FY24E.
