Know before investing
Strengths
3-
They have a wide range of products across various price points catering to a broad range of consumers, including students, professionals, and offices. This level of diversification in both customers and product lines helps reduce risk and support growth in the long run.
-
They are the largest player in the pens segment in FY2023 from the domestic pens segment only. They occupy approximately 9% market share in the overall writing and creative instruments industry in India. Among its peer group, they reported the highest operating and net income margins of 17.8% and 9.6%, respectively, in FY2022. This level of market power and profitability gives them a strong advantage in tackling competition.
-
The company has the largest distributor/dealer network as well as wholesale/retailer network in the writing instruments segment in India. Their network comprises roughly 7,700 distributors/dealers and approximately 3,15,000 wholesalers/retailers as of March 31, 2023. Since this is a retail FMCG business, having a large distributor network is a major deciding factor when competing against rivals.
Risks
3-
A large part of their success is dependent on their brands ‘Flair’, ‘Pierre Cardin’, and ‘Hauser’, of which ‘Flair’ contributed 50.06% of the revenue from operations in FY2023. This level of concentration increases the risk of a sudden loss in revenue due to the failure of a single product.
-
Their distribution network plays a significant role in the success of their business. However, they do not have any agreements with their distributors that prevent them from trading in their rival’s products. Therefore, their hold over the crucial aspect of a distribution network is not that strong, which may affect revenues in the long run.
-
Some of the trademarks of their products are not yet registered, which exposes their product lines to copying by rivals.
