What lies ahead for Physicswallah shares?

Physicswallah reported improved financial performance for the first quarter of FY27 earlier this month. Its consolidated net loss narrowed to Rs 88.3 crore in Q1FY27, compared with a loss of Rs 127 crore in the same period last year. Revenue from operations rose 24% year-on-year to Rs 1,054 crore from Rs 847 crore, driven primarily by strong growth in its online business.

JM Financial described the Q1 performance as “decent”, noting that consolidated revenue grew 24% YoY despite the NEET-related revenue shift. It highlighted the 33.2% YoY growth in the online business and improving monetisation and profitability.

JM Financial upgraded PhysicsWallah to ‘Buy’, retaining its target price of Rs 140 apiece. This implies more than 15% upside potential from the stock’s previous closing price.
