Promoters of Sagility Ltd, a technology-enabled service provider, are looking to divest a significant portion of their holdings, planning to sell up to 16.4% of the company's equity through block deals. The proposed sale includes a base offering of 10% with an additional green shoe option for 6.4%. The floor price for these transactions has been set at ₹46.4 per share, representing an 8% discount to the current market price. This comes at a time when Sagility has reported exceptionally strong financial results. The company's net profit surged more than twofold to ₹251 crore from ₹117 crore in the prior year. Revenue saw a substantial year-on-year growth of 25.2%, reaching ₹1,658 crore, while EBITDA increased by 37.7% to ₹415 crore. The operating margin improved to 25% from 22.7% in the same period last year. Furthermore, the Board of Directors has declared an interim dividend of ₹0.05 per share for FY26. Sagility currently operates with 44,185 employees across five countries and 34 delivery centers. The Managing Director and Group CEO, Ramesh Gopalan, emphasized the company's resilience and ability to sustain growth by helping clients reduce operational costs through specialized domain expertise and transformational capabilities.
Impact: The planned large stake sale by promoters, especially at a discount, could exert downward pressure on Sagility's stock price in the short term. However, the company's robust financial performance, including doubled profits and revenue growth, along with a positive EBITDA trend and dividend announcement, provides a strong fundamental backdrop. Analysts generally maintain a positive outlook on the stock, suggesting that the market might absorb the sale given the company's performance and growth prospects. Rating: 7/10
