Jefferies started a media story on Honasa Consumer, the company that owns the Mamaearth brand. With regard to the stock, the overseas brokerage firm has initiated a high conviction 'buy'. The share price objective is fixed at Rs 520.

According to Jefferies, growth will be 27 per cent over the following three years. The company's main risks are fierce competition from top FMCG businesses, forceful mergers and acquisitions, and a failure to scale up the newer brands, according to a report by Moneycontrol.

The company's beauty and personal care (BPC) division is anticipated to rise in double digits, according to Jefferies, with consistent gains anticipated for the internet channel.
