The brokerage said the expansion plan appears achievable, subject to sustained consumer traction and continued brand strengthening. Its revenue estimates factor in an age-cohort framework, under which store productivity improves as outlets mature.
Stores that were more than three years old accounted for 27% and 46% of the network in FY25 and FY26, respectively, and this proportion is expected to rise to 56% in FY28E and 60% in FY29E. Systematix expects the average store age to increase from 2.3 years in FY25 and 2.7 years in FY26 to 3.6 years in FY28E and 4 years in FY29E.
