JPMorgan kept its Overweight rating but cut its target to ₹590 from ₹650, acknowledging the EBITDA miss while expressing confidence that margins have likely bottomed. Morgan Stanley maintained Equal Weight with a ₹500 target, noting good topline performance but a margin shortfall. Citi stayed with an Accumulate rating and a ₹570 target, calling the volume trajectory robust and flagging new opportunities in quick commerce logistics and reverse logistics. JM Financial, the most bullish on the street, reiterated Buy with a revised target of ₹600, down from ₹650, trimming EBITDA estimates for FY27 by 14 per cent to account for the Q1 miss but remaining confident in Delhivery’s positioning in a consolidating third-party logistics market.Delhivery posted revenue from services of ₹2,931 crore in Q1FY27, up 27.8 per cent year-on-year, driven by express parcel shipment volumes surging 55.2 per cent YoY to 322 million and PTL freight tonnage rising 18.4 per cent YoY to 542,000 metric tonne. However, adjusted EBITDA margin contracted to 2.6 per cent from 3.3 per cent a year ago, pressured by minimum wage hikes, diesel price inflation, and supply chain services ramp-up costs.
