3B BlackBio is a cash flow machine. Very very good management in a niche business. Potential to explode this year with low valuation, low institutional ownership and war chest for M&A ๐๐ผ
Some businesses suffer from lack of operating cash flow, forget free cash flow and keep diluting for high growth and market willing to give 50-100x on high accounting PAT growth (no complaints, m also biased on few of them till song is on)
Then, there are some companies who generate so much of free cash flow that they need to have a M&A team to deploy cash else 5 years of free cash flow would be equivalent to 25% of market cap.
Also, they can grow at a healthy 15-20% rate.
However, market is not willing to give them even 20x "free cash flow" ex cash.
However, time fills all the gaps sooner or later.
In between, will come questions like - why this quarter sales growth is 3% down. Why other expenses are 5% up? why qoq growth missing? Why yoy EBITDA numbers slightly lesser?
Such investing would require years of waiting in patience but with continuous tracking of business not quarterly numbers to ensure structurally it is not a broken business, till market understands it and appreciates it.
Disc: Biased from last 2-3 years and added more in last 6 months. Not a buy or sell recommendation

VIDEO | Delhi Malviya Nagar fire: A shop owner laid out around 20-22 mattresses from his shop so that people could safely jump on them to escape fire.
Shop owner Armaan says, "I have my shop here, I got information about the fire, there was a massive fire, nobody could get inside or come out. Then 7-8 persons somehow entered. Then I put around 20-22 mattresses from my shop and laid them outside, people jumped on it... Most of them were safe."

FY27 guidance:

@phreakv6 why do you think someone like RIL has not jumped on this opportunity? Seems right in their wheelhouse and they have the balance sheet to fund it
we must invest in serious dc capacity or we will end up importing most of our tokens from abroad and cause ourselves a big current account deficit. best if we regulate/incentivise so investments come in from hyperscalers (since we will import 70% of bom of dc capex)

Guidance is to exit the year at 60-70 cr revenue per month, so it will double again during the year.

3B BlackBio concall key highlights -
Mgmt is guiding for ~175-180 cr consol revenue vs 142 cr in FY26 (+23% YoY).
Core 3B + TRUPCR Europe should grow 15-20%.
Coris should do ~โฌ5m / ~55 cr revenue in FY27. Mgmt said Coris will be loss-making in Q1/Q2, then HAT orders in Q3/Q4 should help it end the year around EBITDA breakeven / slightly positive.
My read is that full year EBITDA margins should normalize closer to 33%-36%, higher than Q4's 24% and lower than 40% margins pre acqusition. Growth in core business + exports + other income from the huge treasury will make up for lower Coris margins in FY27.
Few other important takeaways:
1. M&A commentary was very concrete this time
Mgmt said there are advanced discussions, 3-4 consultants are working across France/UK/US, and the company intends to deploy upto 140 cr on out of 250 cr surplus. They are looking at assets upto ~โฌ10m / ~110 cr revenue also and fighting hard to be disciplined on valuation. I think another acquisition in FY27 looks extremely likely now, likely in the diagnostics / molecular / genetics adjacencies
2. Coris roadmap is becoming clearer.
FY27 target is ~โฌ5m revenue, breakeven EBITDA. FY28 target is 5-10% EBITDA margin. US FDA registration is on track for FY28
3. Core business remains strong.
India business has ~15% market share and should grow around 15%, exports faster at 20-25%, and TRUPCR Europe continues to scale even faster
4. Sample-to-answer system will launch by H2
They are taking OEM route, validation is positive, and installations may start by Q3/Q4. This is imp because sample-to-answer and POC are large parts of the global molecular dx market where 3B has had limited participation so far.
Overall, FY27 looks like the first full year of 3B as a proper global diagnostics platform.
Expected revenue: 175-180 cr
Large treasury: ~250 cr liquid assets
Valuation: 16x pe FY27e, 12x pe ex-cash
Q1/Q2 may look optically weak on margins but most of it is priced in already

3B BlackBio FY26 result is a strong one.
FY26 Revenue up 47% to 142 cr
FY26 PAT up 26% to 60 cr
Q4 revenue up 58% YoY and PAT up 22% YoY
Coris contributed 36 cr revenue and 8.8 cr profit in part year consolidation. Ex-Coris too, the MDx business grew double digit despite last yearโs flu/dengue spike base.
TRUPCR Europe grew 36% YoY and continues to become an important global distribution leg for the company.
Exports were very strong, up 25% YoY to 21.4 cr. Presence now across 70+ countries and 200+ export customers.
Balance sheet is the best part-
Cash + bank: 101 cr
Investments: 158 cr
Debt: just 3 cr
So ~255 cr net liquid assets on the books
Important point:net liquid assets increased by ~30 cr YoY despite acquiring Coris during the year. That tells you how cash generative the underlying business still is.
Cash flows remain best-in-class for a microcap.
CFO was 52.5 cr vs PAT of 59.9 cr, ~88% conversion. Unlike many microcaps that only report accounting profits, they keep throwing out real cash year after year.
Negatives - Q4 had margin compression as Coris got fully integrated (big jump in employee cost and other expenses), and FY26 had some one-offs including the profitable quarter consolidation benefit at Coris. So I would not blindly annualize Q4 or assume FY26 margins are the steady state.
But zooming out, this is a profitable, cash-rich, R&D-led molecular diagnostics company with India + UK + Europe footprint, growing exports, 120+ assays, AMR optionality through Coris, and M&A + IVDR + USFDA related triggers ahead.
At ~1050 cr market cap, the stock is still only ~17-18x FY26 earnings and ~13-14x ex-cash earnings...

Chandan Healthcare ๐ Q4 & FY26 Concall Summary #CHANDAK
๐ก MANAGEMENT PROJECTION :
For FY27, the company anticipates topline growth of 30-35%, aiming for EBITDA margins of 30-35% after the current aggressive expansion phase. They plan to operationalize 20 labs and 5 comprehensive centers this year, with a target of 1,000 franchises within 24 months. The vision is to reach ~40% EBITDA margins post-expansion, within 2 years, and they are preparing to add three more states this quarter.
๐ด Red Alert :
The consolidated EBITDA margin stands at 20.25%, dragged down by the pharmacy business with a 5% margin, while pathology alone achieves over 40%. Expansion costs are causing a slight quarter-on-quarter decline in EBITDA margins. Receivables have increased due to government payments, with collection periods ranging from 3-4 months, potentially extending to 6 months, though bad debt risk is minimal.
๐ข Green Alert :
For Q4 FY26, Chandan Healthcare reported revenue of 77.41 crores, up 18.96% YoY, with EBITDA at 14.25 crores (up 12.65% YoY) and PAT at 6.92 crores (up 14.88% YoY). Full-year FY26 revenue reached 280.67 crores, a 20.43% YoY growth, and EBITDA was 56.84 crores (up 31.02% YoY), with an EBITDA margin of 20.25%. Total test counts increased by 20.69% to 8.8 million.
๐ต Blue Alert :
The company is aggressively expanding its pan-India network, now present in 13 states. They are establishing two new Genome Labs and are rolling out the "One District One Lab" initiative. A significant focus is on the franchise model, aiming for 1,000 operational franchises, and they have secured five 10-year PPP projects valued at 800 crores. The business model is transforming with the addition of online and franchise segments.
๐ง Deep Insight :
Chandan Healthcare is undergoing a significant transformation, shifting from a North India focus to a pan-India presence. The core strategy revolves around building comprehensive centers, supported by labs and a growing franchise network, driving a projected 30-35% topline growth. Key growth drivers are the expansion into 13+ states, the "One District One Lab" initiative, and 800 crore worth of PPP projects, which are expected to significantly boost revenue and profitability over the next 2-3 years.
