Toh bhaiyon aur behno, Wonderla Holidays ne finally apna Chennai wala amusement park poora operational kar diya hai! Sunne mein aaya hai ki pichhle 10 saal se woh log ispar kaam kar rahe the aur poora ₹611 Crore ka investment laga diya hai. Iska sabse bada attraction, woh 80-meter wala Skywheel aur Sky View Diner, isme hi alag se ₹37 Crore lage hain. Aur kya bataun, launch ke baad pehle hi mahine mein 75,000 se zyada logon ne visit kiya aur company ki jeb mein ₹12 Crore aa gaye. Stock market mein bhi iska asar dikh raha hai, share ₹526 se lekar ₹535.45 tak chal raha hai, market cap lagbhag ₹3,335 se ₹3,360 Crore ke aas paas hai. P/E ratio bhi 31.6 se 45.49 tak hai aur sabse achhi baat, company par koi loan nahi hai, debt-to-equity zero hai. Ekdum solid financial position hai!
Ab yeh toh ho gaya Chennai ka success story. Lekin company ke Executive Chairman Arun K. Chittilappilly ka vision kaafi bada hai! Woh sirf Chennai tak nahi rukna chahte. Aage unka plan hai ki Mumbai, Indore, Ahmedabad, aur Goa jaise cities mein bhi naye parks kholen. Itna hi nahi, Chennai mein ek aur resort bhi kholne ka soch rahe hain aur Bengaluru ke paas wale Terrea by Wonderla ko bhi update kiya hai. Aur ek naya business, virtual indoor entertainment aur content creation bhi explore kar rahe hain. Yeh sab plans ke liye bhai, kaafi bada paisa chahiye hoga. Wohi paisa kahan se aayega, yahi sabse bada sawal hai.
Dekho, Indian amusement park market toh bohot grow kar raha hai, lagbhag 7.2% CAGR se. Indoor entertainment bhi pakad raha hai. Lekin bhai, Wonderla akela nahi hai. Imagicaa, Della, Esselworld jaise bade players pehle se hain, aur bhi naye parks khul rahe hain. Toh market mein saturation ka risk hai. Aur haan, pehle Chennai mein ek baar ride atak gayi thi power ki problem se, toh new locations par operations manage karna bhi ek challenge hoga. Profitability ki baat karein toh pichhle quarter mein net profit 29% gir gaya tha, kyunki depreciation aur compliance costs badh gayi thi, bhale hi income 12% badhi thi.
Management ka toh kehna hai ki Chennai wala park bhi Bangalore, Cochin, Hyderabad jaisa hi hit hoga. Aur analysts bhi positive hain, sab 'Buy' bol rahe hain aur target ₹712.33 diya hai, matlab abhi se 29.44% ka potential upside dikh raha hai. Lekin yeh sab tabhi hoga jab company apne bade-bade projects ko efficiently manage kar paye aur paison ka hisaab-kitaab theek se rakhe.
