EV Business Ne Di Dhamakedar Revenue Growth!
Company ne FY26 mein total revenue ₹6,088 Crore register kiya hai, jo pichhle saal se 4.1% zyada hai. Ye growth mostly unke electric vehicle segment se aa rahi hai, jo ab company ki total sales ka 38% hai. India mein electric buses mein toh JBM Auto sabse aage hai, market share 24% se zyada hai aur unke paas 10,000 se zyada buses ka order book hai. Company toh China ke bahar world ka sabse bada integrated EV ecosystem bana rahi hai!
Par Cash Flow Ka Kya Scene Hai?
Yahan thodi dikkat hai, bhai. Trade receivables, matlab jinse paise aane hain, woh ₹1,007 Crore se double hokar ₹2,185 Crore ho gaye hain. Is wajah se company ka operating cash flow 59.4% tak gir gaya hai aur ab sirf ₹160 Crore reh gaya hai. Iska matlab hai ki paise aane mein der ho sakti hai, specially jab state transport bodies se payment aani ho jo bade contracts handle karte hain.
Loan Ka Bojh Badha, Kharchon Mein Bhi Izafa!
Apna business badhane aur EV infrastructure banane ke liye company ne loan bhi khaasa chadhaya hai. Total borrowings 61.4% badhkar ₹2,070 Crore ho gaye hain. Iska seedha asar finance costs par pada, jo 28.8% badhkar ₹318 Crore ho gaye. Company ne capital spending mein bhi achha khasa ₹713 Crore lagaya hai, jo bus production, battery systems aur charging infrastructure banane ka kharcha hai.
Valuation Aur Sector Ki Challenges
Valuation wise, JBM Auto ka P/E ratio 57x se 103x ke beech hai, jo market mein kaafi high mana jata hai. Agar Olectra Greentech jaise competitors se compare karein toh uska P/E 74x ke aas paas hai. Company ne pichhle 5 saalon mein 700% se zyada returns diye hain, par recent performance mein upar-neeche dekha gaya hai. Indian EV sector mein bhi challenges hain jaise charging infrastructure ki kami, imported batteries par dependence, aur supply chain risks.
Naye Niyam Aur Ek Aur Risk Factor
India ki nayi End-of-Life Vehicles (ELV) Rules, 2025 bhi ek naya risk factor aa gaya hai. Yeh rules auto companies ko pichle sales par environmental compensation ke liye funds alag rakhne ko bolti hain, jo FY26 mein auto industry ke liye ₹25,000 Crore tak ho sakta hai. Agar company compliance target miss karti hai toh yeh bhi ek problem ho sakti hai. Analysts ke views bhi divide hain: kuch 'Sell' recommend kar rahe hain debt aur cash conversion issues ko dekh kar, jabki kuch orders aur market leadership ko positive maan rahe hain.
FY27 Mein Cash Generation Sabse Bada Challenge Hoga
Agale saal, matlab FY27 mein, JBM Auto ka sabse bada kaam hoga ki woh apne large order book aur EV market share ko consistent cash mein convert kare. Company $500 Million tak fund raise karne ki soch rahi hai apne expansion ke liye. India mein electric public transport ka future toh bright hai, par company ko apna badhta debt manage karna, cash collection speed up karna aur EV transition ke high costs ko control karna hoga.
