3. Five Reasons To BUY Delhivery

1) Lowest cost structure compared to peers across first mile, mid mile and last mile logistics in express parcel business is a competitive edge in a cost-sensitive market, 2) technology and trust moat should strengthen its dominant share in niche segments such as secured delivery, 3) hands on management ensures agile decision making and timely intervention during exception handling, 4) strong balance sheet should help sustain investments through periods of tight liquidity and 5) uncharacteristically high (compared to peers) brand recall among end-users could make it a key beneficiary of open ended B2B ecommerce marketplaces (Link to our thematic note on B2B e-commerce) and ONDC roll out.

4. Delhivery Valuation

According to ICICI Securities, "We discount EV calculated at 20xFY26E EV/EBITDA by 1.5 years (at 20% discount rate) to arrive at our price target of Rs460. We believe risk-reward skew for the stock is attractive at current market price (5.3:1). We envisage an upside scenario where the stock re-rates to Rs620 if revenue growth recovery in express parcel and PTL segments are higher than estimates. We assume a downside case where the stock could de-rate to Rs300 if EBITDA margin profitability is pushed beyond Q4FY23 and medium-term revenue growth visibility worsens further due to global headwinds."
