After the company reported strong earnings, ICICI Securities has raised its target price on the stock to Rs 7,000 from Rs 6,000. “We believe IndiaMART will be a key beneficiary of the strong growth in B2B e-commerce expected over the next few years,” the brokerage firm said.

Given the recent increase in suppliers, the company’s management expects traffic to increase over the coming quarters as matchmaking too improves. Further, addition of 8,000-9,000 paying subscribers every quarter is sustainable, the brokerage firm pointed out.
