Positive Analyst Ratings and Growth Projections

Global brokerage Jefferies initiated coverage of Sagility India last week with a ‘Buy’ rating, setting a target price of Rs 52 per share.

Jefferies emphasized Sagility’s strong domain expertise in the U.S. healthcare sector, positioning it as a significant player in this niche.

The brokerage projects robust growth for Sagility, estimating a 12% compound annual growth rate (CAGR) in revenue and an impressive 40% CAGR in profit after tax from FY25 to FY27.

Additionally, JPMorgan also expressed optimism about Sagility’s potential, starting coverage with an ‘Overweight’ rating and a target price of Rs 54 per share.

JPMorgan highlighted the increasing demand for outsourcing in the U.S. healthcare industry as a key growth driver for Sagility. It foresees a 50% CAGR in earnings for the company over FY24 to FY27, further strengthening its bullish outlook.

A Strong Market Debut

Sagility India’s initial public offering (IPO), held from November 5 to 7, raised Rs 2,106.60 crore through an offer for sale of 70.22 crore equity shares.

Priced between Rs 28 and Rs 30 per share, the IPO garnered strong investor interest, with bids exceeding the issue size by 3.2 times.

The stock made its debut on November 12, listing at Rs 31.06 on both the BSE and NSE, representing a 3.5% premium over the issue price. Since then, Sagility’s shares have delivered a remarkable 71% return, far surpassing broader market indices.

Financial Performance and Business Model

Sagility India’s financial results underscore its strong operational performance. The company reported a 30.5% year-on-year increase in net profit to Rs 163.60 crore, while revenue grew by 21% to Rs 1,325 crore.

Sagility specializes in healthcare-focused business process management (BPM) services, leveraging artificial intelligence and data analytics to deliver end-to-end solutions.

Its scalable business model and global presence position it well to capitalize on the growing demand for tech-driven BPM services in emerging markets.

Jefferies anticipates that Sagility’s EBIT margins will nearly double to 16.5% by FY27 as depreciation and amortization costs normalize. This is expected to drive a 31% CAGR in EBIT from FY25 to FY27.

Furthermore, a deleveraged balance sheet will reduce interest expenses, contributing to a 40% CAGR in earnings over the same period—the highest among its peers.

Technical Analysis and Investor Sentiment

Sagility’s stock performance has attracted considerable investor interest, driven by its expansion into new markets and innovative BPM solutions.

On the technical front, the stock has strong support in the Rs 140–Rs 135 range, with resistance anticipated around Rs 165–Rs 170. Analysts advise investors to remain cautious as the stock consolidates following its rapid rise.

While some concerns about valuations persist, most analysts acknowledge the stock’s potential for further upside, bolstered by its strong post-listing performance and promising growth trajectory.

The Road Ahead

Sagility India’s remarkable post-IPO performance underscores its robust business fundamentals and strategic positioning in the healthcare BPM sector.

As global demand for healthcare outsourcing continues to grow, the company’s innovative approach and strong financial outlook make it a compelling choice for investors.

Both Jefferies and JPMorgan’s bullish ratings reflect their confidence in Sagility’s ability to maintain its growth momentum. With projected earnings and revenue increases, the company remains well-poised to deliver sustained value to shareholders.
