Bata India will be reporting its quarter two FY23 results on November 10, 2022. After Campus and Metro’s listing, Bata has actually been quite an underperformer in the footwear space. It's down about 20 percent from its 52 week high as well.

However, this time around, it's a good set which the Street is expecting and that's primarily on account for low base.

Post the pandemic, people are back to school, offices, social events and also back to buying a lot of comfort footwear, which is actually margin accretive for Bata itself.

Revenue growth is largely expected to be led by price hikes that the company has taken and also as a result of that the EBITDA will jump on a high base.
