Let's talk about Zaggle once again at ₹200 and ~₹2,700 Cr mcap and why i feel this is a great deal at this price.
Long post so hold your horses and like it if you find some value from this.
The stock has been absolutely hammered, so first let's understand what went wrong.
It all started with the QIP at ₹523.2/share during the peak of the bull market. Looking back, management was actually spot on in raising capital at those levels. They built a solid cash reserve and institutional ownership went up to ~23%.
Fast forward to today and FIIs have been exiting aggressively.
Not only did the holding percentage fall, but the number of FPIs holding Zaggle dropped from 74 to 52 in the March 2026 quarter. That means 22 foreign institutions completely exited.
DIIs also cut their stake from ~14% to ~7%.
Now the interesting part.
Who's still holding?
• Promoters increased stake from 44.13% to 44.29% through open market purchases
• Ashish Kacholia continues to hold 2.23%
• ValueQuest Scale Fund still holds 1.71%
So why isn't the selling getting absorbed?
From what I could gather, there are four major concerns.
1⃣Negative cash flows and low ROCE
2⃣Dice acquisition
3⃣AI fears
4⃣Management being everywhere on TV
Let's go one by one.
1. Cash Flows and ROCE -
Most people look at the numbers and conclude that Propel is the problem.
They're not entirely wrong.
Propel generates only ~₹45 Cr of net revenue while locking up a lot of working capital, which suppresses cash flows and ROCE.
The obvious question becomes:
Why not just shut it down?
Because that's where things get interesting.
Around 90% of spends on Propel happen through prepaid network cards. The economics from these card swipes are highly profitable, but accounting rules classify that revenue under Program Fees and not Propel revenue.
So if Zaggle shuts Propel, they don't magically become a cash rich business overnight.
They end up killing the engine that drives a huge chunk of Program Fees revenue.
Propel is basically the entry gate into the ecosystem.
A company comes for rewards management, gets deeply integrated into the platform and then Zaggle starts cross selling products like Zoyer and Save.
What most people miss is that cash isn't permanently stuck.
It's largely a timing issue.
Unlike businesses where receivables are trapped for years, Zaggle gets its money back in roughly 60 days.
And here's the beauty.
As growth slows down and the business matures, cash flow automatically improves.
At a 6% margin, the business can sustain roughly 45% annual growth without creating incremental cash stress.
At a 7% margin, that number moves closer to 55%.
So when Propel eventually matures, cash flow positivity should naturally follow.
Mere hisaab se this concern is a lot bigger on paper than it is in reality.
2. Dice Acquisition
Initially, the acquisition was supposed to happen at ₹123 Cr.
That looked expensive.
Eventually, they got it done at ₹68 Cr.
What did they actually buy?
The codebase.
The customers.
The engineering talent.
As someone working in tech, I can tell you one thing.
People massively underestimate the cost of building software from scratch.
The cost isn't just salaries.
It's failed iterations, delays, bugs, hiring mistakes and execution risk.
The market's bigger concern is the additional engineering workforce impacting margins.
My rough estimate is that the net employee addition is around 50 people.
Even at ₹20L average CTC, we're talking about ~₹10 Cr annual cost.
That's roughly a 40 to 50 bps drag on margins in worse case.
Nothing dramatic.
And if Dice revenues continue growing, even that drag could largely disappear.
Again, not thesis breaking.
3. AI Will Disrupt SaaS
We've been hearing this for years now.
Meanwhile software companies across the US continue to grow.
AI will change workflows.
AI will change how software is built.
But AI killing SaaS altogether doesn't seem to be playing out.
Not losing sleep over this one.
4. Management on TV
I know many investors dislike this.
Personally, I think this is a relatively new management team trying to defend the narrative around the company.
Would I worry if promoters were selling while giving interviews every week?
Absolutely.
But promoters are actually buying from the market.
So for now, I don't consider this a major red flag.
Now let's look at the numbers.
FY26:
Revenue ₹1,908 Cr
EBITDA ₹185 Cr
PAT ₹139 Cr
Management is guiding for roughly 40% revenue growth.
Since they haven't missed revenue guidance post listing, let's assume they deliver.
FY27 could look something like:
Revenue ~₹2,700 Cr
Even if margins contract by ~30 bps,
EBITDA margin ~9.4%
EBITDA ~₹253 Cr
PAT ~₹184 Cr
At the current market cap, FY27 PE comes to roughly 14x.
PEG comes to around 0.4.
That's honestly quite attractive.
And once Dice integration is behind them, operating leverage should start kicking in from FY28 onwards 🚀
Can the market disagree?
Of course.
Can the stock remain cheap for longer?
Absolutely.
But at ₹200, the risk reward looks significantly better than it did at ₹523.
One last thing.
Whenever a stock falls, people immediately say FIIs and DIIs sold, kuch toh soch samajh ke hi becha hoga.
Maybe.
But if they were always right, would they have participated in the ₹523 QIP in the first place?
That answer, I'll leave to you.
