Description
MakeMyTrip Q4 FY2026 earnings breakdown - conversational walkthrough with a price-aware verdict and Wall Street consensus comparison. THE CALL: HOLD (3/5 conviction, MODERATE) - CURRENT @ $42.93 - HOLD - BUY below $36.00 with $30.00 stop - AVOID above $52.00 TRIGGER: Q2 FY27 hotels and packages above plus 10 percent YoY OR Myra-attributable revenue disclosed above 25 percent of bookings WINDOW: Through Q2 FY2027 earnings (Nov 2026) TRACKER: charged-alpha.com/calls/MMYT WALL STREET CONSENSUS - Ratings: 2 Strong Buy / 4 Buy / 5 Hold / 2 Sell / 0 Strong Sell - HOLD - Median 12-month price target: $48.00 (range $32 - $62) - Charged Alpha vs consensus: ALIGNED, MORE CAUTIOUS THESIS Dominant India OTA but Myra AI unit economics not yet proven. Bull lever: India travel TAM compounds mid-teens. Myra hitting 25% bookings target re-rates multiple back to 5x sales. Key risk: Two-quarter EPS deterioration plus soft FY27 guide. Negative book value limits multiple expansion. QUALITY CHECK - Management quality grade: B (Rajesh Magow team has built MMYT into the dominant Indian OTA over 15 years. Capital allocation is fine; the AI investment cycle is large but defensible.) - Earnings quality grade: C+ (Cash conversion fell to zero this quarter on CapEx step-up; SBC is 5 percent of revenue which is elevated; negative book equity is a structural concern.)
