Revenue Growth and Dividend Announcement

E-commerce Drives Growth

Analysts at Nuvama Institutional Equities noted that e-commerce contributed 30% to total volumes during Q4, and they expect it to be one of the biggest growth drivers given the healthy and steady demand. The brokerage expects utilisation to improve over the coming quarters, with the newly added aircraft expected to lift air parcel volumes.

Future Outlook

Despite the strong performance, analysts at Emkay Stock Broking noted that maintaining growth momentum in a highly competitive B2B express market remains a challenge. However, with Guwahati going live in January 2024, the management expects further ramp-up in volumes, utilization, and profitability. The first half of FY25 is expected to be muted for logistics players due to the ongoing general elections and seasonality, but analysts remain watchful around the sustainability of volume growth and margins for Blue Dart Express.

Conclusion

Blue Dart Express has demonstrated strong performance in Q4, driven by growth in e-commerce and increased shipment volumes. While challenges remain in maintaining this momentum, the company’s management is optimistic about future growth. Investors will be closely watching the company’s performance in the coming quarters.
