Analysts are bullish on Delhivery after its Q1 results, saying that the company is well-positioned for future growth, supported by strong momentum in its core transportation businesses and a clear focus on profitability.

Motial Oswal reiterated a ‘BUY’ call on the stock, expecting Delhivery to report a CAGR of 14%/38%/53% in sales/EBITDA/APAT over FY25-28E.

“With Express Parcel and PTL segments delivering consistent volume growth and healthy service EBITDA margins, the company expects to sustain 16-18% margins over the next two years,” it said.

On the recent acquisition of Delhivery's competitor, Ecom Express, the brokerage said that the integration of Ecom Express is set to enhance network efficiency and reduce capital intensity, while new services like Delhivery Direct and Rapid offer long term growth potential in on-demand and time-sensitive logistics. 

ICICI Securities has also maintained ‘BUY’ on the stock, rolling forward its valuation by six months. “Our TP implies 39x 1-year forward EV/EBITDA, up from 34x earlier,’ it said. The agency believes that Delhivery should be a key beneficiary of demand recovery in e-commerce and consolidation in the express parcel segment.

Emkay Global has also maintained ‘BUY’ on the stock and revised target price of ₹450, up 10% from earlier estimate of ₹410. The brokerage said that the company’s market leadership position should allow it to tide over industry headwinds like insourcing. Additionally, Delhivery’s foray into new products like rapid commerce and on-demand intracity trucking could create adjacent growth vectors in the future as well as further drive revenue diversification, it said.

JM Financial has also reiterated ‘BUY’, factoring in improved growth and margin outlook and lesser capex intensity. It believes the changed industry landscape can result in a sustained uptick for Delhivery.

“We increase EPS revenue by 14-15% over FY26-29E mainly due to Meesho’s insourcing plateauing, and inorganic volume from Ecom Express,” it said.
