Shiprocket, a commerce enablement platform, is categorized as high-growth but loss-making, though its financial health is improving. The company reported a revenue CAGR of 24% between FY24 and FY26. Its adjusted loss significantly narrowed from ₹351 crore in FY24 to ₹76 crore in FY26.

Analyst Mahesh M. Ojha from Kantilal Chhaganlal Securities observed that conventional P/E valuation metrics are not applicable due to Shiprocket’s current loss-making status. However, based on its FY26 financials, the company is valued reasonably against peers like Delhivery.

Valuation Metrics (FY26)

• Price/Sales: 2.7x
• EV/Sales: 3.3x

Ojha provided distinct post-listing advice for different investor types. Existing allottees should consider taking partial listing gains, while retaining some shares for long-term potential. They must actively monitor margin improvements and upcoming financial results.
