Achanak profit mein kaise aayi company?
Asal mein, management ne cost cutting par kaafi focus kiya hai aur high-margin segments jaise Prime Large par zyada zor diya hai. Iske saath hi AI tech mein bhi investment kiya hai. Poore FY26 ke liye revenue ₹4,202 crore ho gaya hai, jo 66.4% growth hai. Management ka kehna hai ki aage bhi 27-30% revenue CAGR aur 100-120 basis points profit growth expect kar rahe hain.
Operational efficiency ka kamaal
Q4 mein toh company ka adjusted EBITDA 1,051% badh kar ₹58 crore ho gaya tha! Yeh sab operational efficiency badhane, network density increase karne aur AI se route optimize karne se hua hai. Company ne ab lower-value operations band karke critical logistics par focus kiya hai. Infrastructure mein bhi ₹185 crore lagaye hain FY26 mein, jismein sorting centers aur last-mile infrastructure shamil hain. Inka khud ka AI mapping system India ke complex addressing issues solve karega, jisse delivery tez aur cost-effective hogi.
Valuation ka masla!
Ab baat karte hain valuation ki. Shadowfax ka stock valuation bahut high chal raha hai, jo ki rivals jaise Delhivery aur Blue Dart Express se compare karne par pata chalta hai. Company ka P/E ratio 95.61x se lekar 1,500x tak ja raha hai. Iska reason yeh hai ki company abhi kam earnings base par profit mein aayi hai. Wahi, Delhivery ka P/E 192x-255x hai aur Blue Dart Express ka 45x-49x hai. Shadowfax ki market cap ₹11,000 crore ke aas paas hai, jo Blue Dart ke barabar hai, par multiples future growth ke liye bahut high expectations dikha rahe hain. Overall Indian logistics sector bhi USD 246 billion se USD 362 billion tak grow karne wala hai 8% CAGR se.
Analysts ka split opinion
Itne acche numbers ke bawajood, analysts ka opinion divided hai. Lagbhag 53 analysts abhi bhi 'Sell' rating de rahe hain, kyuki valuation bahut high lag raha hai aur agar growth expectations poori nahi hui toh risk ho sakta hai. Haalanki, Morgan Stanley ne 'Overweight' rating di hai aur JM Financial ne 'Buy' kaha hai. Promoter holding 16.6% hai, ROE 9-10% hai jo kuch peers se kam hai. Company ka EV/EBITDA bhi 43.52 hai, jo kaafi high hai.
Aage ka outlook
Company ka focus ab operations badhane, 20,000+ pin codes tak pahunchna aur technology mein invest karna hai. Ab subsidy-led growth se hatkar operational efficiency par focus hai. Analyst price targets ₹152.56 se ₹423.83 tak hain, jiska average ₹301.46 hai. Agar company apni performance aur targets maintain karti hai toh 2026-27 mein IPO bhi aa sakta hai. Current valuation justify karne ke liye growth aur execution dono strong hone chahiye.
