Shares of Alakh Pandey-led Physicswallah have been on a solid uptrend lately, rising more than 40% over the last six months, and it may have more steam left, according to brokerage firm Motilal Oswal Financial Services. Physicswallah's share price has jumped 42% year-to-date compared with an 8% decline in the equity benchmark Sensex. On a monthly scale, it is up 14% so far in October after a 6% rise in September. Shares hit their 52-week low of ₹77.75 on 4 March this year after rising to a 52-week high of ₹162.05 on 18 November last year. On Thursday, 8 October, the stock climbed 1.11% to end at ₹140.95 on the BSE, extending gains for the fourth consecutive session.Motilal Oswal sees further upsideBrokerage firm Motilal Oswal Financial Services believes Physicswallah's multiple independent growth legs suggest nearly 30% online CAGR for the next 3-4 years, with sustained EBITDA improvement over the same period."We believe Physicswallah combines a near-monopoly position in online test prep, negative working capital, and multiple independent growth legs in K-12, state boards, new categories, and the South. With offline nearing break-even in FY27, we see EBITDA compounding from nearly ₹600 crore in FY27E to nearly ₹2,000 crore in four years," said Motilal Oswal."We assign a multiple of 50 times FY28E EV/EBITDA to the online business, reflecting its market leadership, scalable business model, and superior unit economics. We value the offline business at 15 times FY28E EV/EBITDA to reflect its execution intensity, time to maturity, and lower margin profile," said Motilal Oswal.Physicswallah share price targetMotilal Oswal has a buy call on the stock with a target price of ₹200, implying a 43% upside potential."We value other businesses at 1 time FY28E EV/sales. Adjusting for cash, we arrive at a target price of ₹200, implying a 43% upside. We reiterate our 'buy' rating on the stock," said Motilal Oswal.Read all market-related news hereRead more stories by Nishant KumarDisclaimer: This article is for educational purposes only and does not constitute investment advice.
