Ola Electric IPO – Profitability in 2 years

  • Dated 04th Aug.
  • IPO is open from 2-6th Aug, at ₹ 72-76 /share
  • The IPO offering is large, at ₹ 6,150 cr.
  • Mid-Cap firm with Mkt cap ₹ 33,500 cr.
  • Sector: Automobile, EV, 2W
  • Opinion: High-risk takers can buy with a 2-year perspective

Summary

  • Ola Electric is a startup by serial entrepreneur Bhavish Agarwal for Electric two Wheelers. With a good brand drawn from Ola Cabs, Ola Electric has created the products, factories and sales network, and grabbed a 35% market share in India in E2W. Revenue grew 88% in FY24, indicating that Ola may have hit the ‘growth inflexion point’ in the hockey stick formation. The organization and structure set-up looks good to handle the possible growth. The overall 2W industry size and growth offer a massive opportunity for disruption. The products are beneficial to reduce pollution from fossil fuels and are aligned with electrification & renewables initiatives. Govt. of India policies are helpful with Ola using FAME and PLI incentives. E4W adoption in China is a good early indicator of possible E2W adoption in India. Our analysis indicates Ola can hit profitability by FY26, in two years.
  • Risks: 1) Typical startup risks of small possibility of success of massive disruption and ambitious goals; Typical IPO risks of undiscovered firm 2) currently cash-burning business 3) Dependence on China for RM – is being overcome through R&D and new mfg. facilities 4) Competition – Entry of new startup players and E2W plans by current ICE players 5) support drying up from GoI policies as industry accelerates 6) Volatility in RM prices
  • Opinion: High-risk takers can buy with a 2-year perspective

Here is a note on Ola Electric Mobility Ltd (OLA).

Understanding the Sensex Surge among Global Economic Challenges

A social media contact asked a question:

Good morning friends. I was reading the newspaper and saw the Sensex touching an all-time high of 80k. Can anyone help simplify, why is the market is so high when industries and companies are globally low on business, employees are getting laid off, and the job market is weak. Is this a bubble in waiting caused by FIIs?

My response and answer:

1) The Indian index mostly reflects the Indian economy and Indian companies. These are doing well. The Indian GDP is up smartly in the last 2-3 years, industrial policies are stable and encouraging, tax collections are improving, and infrastructure like transportation and electricity are getting better. The recovery from the Covid challenges of 2020 and 2021 has been good.
2) The ex-India global scenario is not so good. USA is recovering from Covid but has election uncertainty, Europe is flat, RoW is bit gloomy due to the two wars. In general, there is high inflation and interest rates. China is struggling with a tariff war with USA and internal policy and capital allocation issues.
3) This in fact makes India an attractive investment destination for global funds looking for good returns. It’s doing the best among the larger economies and is quite open to capital inflows through FPI and FIIs.
4) In India, Equity as an asset class is gaining importance and acceptance for wealth storage and growth – along with the traditional Real Estate. This is mainly due to digital access, ease of transactions and lower transaction costs. Even so, the current Equity penetration is still low, with about 15 crore demat accounts, and even among these investors, a low proportion of financial assets.
