Invalidation: Close <₹1,160
Targets: ₹1,360 → ₹1,400–₹1,425
Note: Event risk—board meets Aug 12 to consider Q1 FY26; expect swings.
Fundamentals
FY25 revenue +~12% to ₹1,420–1,535cr; PAT ₹343cr (+~25% YoY); near‑duopoly advantages but valuation now full post‑rally.
Plan
Avoid chasing strength; buy dips only with tight risk and take partials near prior highs. Investors with IPO gains can book some profits and hold a core for the long term.
