Trigger

• Strong Q1 FY27 performance.
• Consolidated net profit rose 270% YoY to Rs. 222 crore.
• Revenue from operations grew 43% YoY to Rs. 2,714 crore.
• EBITDA increased 61% YoY to Rs. 589 crore.
• EBITDA margin expanded 370 bps YoY to 21.7%.
• Stock added to MSCI Global Standard Index, effective after market close on August 31, 2026.

Revenue growth remains strong, but the larger market takeaway is the expansion in margins, helped by better domestic and international profitability. For a recently listed consumer-tech name, the market is rewarding the shift from growth-only metrics to operating leverage and stronger earnings visibility.

The MSCI inclusion has added a second layer of buying interest, as passive funds and ETFs tracking the index are expected to adjust portfolios before the effective date. This can create short-term demand for the stock and explains why the reaction is sharper than what earnings alone may have triggered.

At a market cap of over Rs. 1 lakh crore and PE of 197.82 times standalone and 154.94 times consolidated earnings, the stock is already pricing in strong growth ahead.
