10. So Wait and Watch
If I hold the stock then one may continue holding on to KAYNES
KAYNES has delivered a strong multi-year performance. On the back of this strong performance it is also guiding for a strong FY25, followed by a strong outlook for F24-29. One can continue riding the strong business uptrend which KAYNES is delivering.
In the short term the Q1-25 top-line and bottom-line performance is in line with the 60%+ revenue growth guidance
One needs to keep a watch on the margins. At a PE of 141 a margin contraction cannot be sustained for long. While KAYNES management is guiding for a margin expansion in FY25, Q1-25 has delivered a contraction in margin.
11. Join the ride
If I am looking to enter KAYNES then
KAYNES has delivered PAT growth of 106% & Revenue growth of 70% in Q1-25 at a PE of 141 which makes the valuations quite expensive in the short term.
With a FY25 guidance of 60% revenue growth and 70% EBITDA growth at PE of 141, the valuations look fully priced from a FY25 perspective.
The opportunity will emerge over the longer term if the momentum of FY20-24 is sustained into to FY24-29. KAYNES management is quite confident on delivering on the FY24-29 outlook but 5 years is a long time and there may be volatility along the way.
