Growth Rate
AI Analysis — Bull vs Bear
Allied Blenders & Distillers, the maker of Officer's Choice Whisky, trades at a market cap of ~₹17,622 Cr with a P/E of 82.9x and P/B of 10.5x. The company holds an ~11.8% share in the Indian whisky market by volume and has delivered 147% profit CAGR over 5 years, but TTM profit growth has turned negative at -7% and sales growth remains modest at 8% TTM on a revenue base of ~₹3,920 Cr (FY26).
- Delivered exceptional 5-year compounded profit growth of 147% CAGR, indicating strong operating leverage as the business scales
- Officer's Choice Whisky commands ~20.9% market share in the mass premium whisky segment and ~11.8% overall share in Indian whisky by volume (FY23), providing significant brand moat
- Maintains a healthy dividend payout ratio of 39.3% with a current yield of 0.87%, demonstrating shareholder-friendly capital allocation
- FY26 revenue grew 11.45% YoY to ~₹3,923 Cr, re-accelerating from 5.77% growth in FY25, suggesting improving demand trends
- Q1 FY26 net profit surged 4x YoY to ₹55.83 Cr, with management citing premiumization driving margin expansion and 81.7% EBITDA growth in FY25
- Active premiumization strategy aims to raise prestige segment contribution to 50%, which should improve margins from historically thin net profit levels
- Portfolio includes 4 millionaire brands (selling over 1 million cases annually), providing diversified revenue anchors beyond Officer's Choice
- Stock has delivered 21% returns over the past 1 year, outperforming broader market and reflecting improving fundamentals
- Trades at a P/E of 82.9x, far above the FMCG/beverage sector average, leaving little margin of safety if growth disappoints
- P/B ratio of 10.5x indicates the stock is priced at a steep premium to book value, implying high expectations already embedded
- TTM profit growth has turned negative at -7%, and Q4 FY26 net profit fell 52% YoY to ₹37.62 Cr, signaling earnings volatility
- 5-year compounded sales growth is only ~11% and TTM sales growth is 8%, indicating limited top-line momentum for an 83x P/E stock
- Debtor days stand at 168 days — extremely high for a consumer goods company — tying up significant working capital and raising collection risk
- Debt-to-equity ratio is approximately 0.68x (₹11.5B debt vs ₹16.9B equity), adding financial risk in a margin-thin business
- 3-year ROE of 14% is respectable but not exceptional given the premium valuation; last year ROE was also 14%, showing limited improvement
- Historically thin net profit margins (~4% in Q4 FY25) leave the company vulnerable to input cost inflation, excise duty changes, or regulatory headwinds
