The brokerage believes Delhivery’s asset light business model and its cutting‐edge engineering and automation capabilities along with its new age technologies will help company leverage its operating efficiencies and improve the profitability in the coming years.
Proceeds of the fresh issue will be used towards funding organic growth initiatives, funding inorganic growth through acquisitions and other strategic initiatives and for general corporate purposes.
“Delhivery is loss making, which makes it difficult to value based on earnings; other listed competitors are profit making with PBT margins ranging from 1.3% to 15.7%. Delhivery has the advantages of scale and a flexible business model driven by technology, which need to be tested in a price-sensitive Indian market. There will be a tradeoff between growth and profitability for the company going ahead, and investors can wait for a better entry point to invest in the company,” said PhillipCapital in a note.
