Just Dial share price slips nearly 3% in trade today; time to buy the dip?
Just Dial share price: Just Dial share price came under pressure on Wednesday, July 16, 2025, with the stock dropping up to 2.80 per cent to hit an intraday low of ₹914.70 per share. At 10:28 AM, Just Dial share price was down 2.76 per cent to hit an intraday low of ₹915.15 per share. In comparison, BSE Sensex was trading 0.15 per cent lower at 82,443.38 levels. CATCH STOCK MARKET LATEST UPDATES TODAY LIVE Why did Just Dial share price fall today? Just Dial's share price came under pressure today despite the company reporting a healthy set of numbers for the June quarter (Q1FY26) as investors flocked to book profits, analysts said. 'The stock is under pressure due to profit booking following a decent Q1 performance,' said Kranthi Bathini, director of equity strategy at WealthMills Securities. He added, 'In the last three months, the stock has been consolidating and is yet to decisively cross its 200-day moving average. A decisive break above the ₹940 level could trigger an upward rally.' In Q1FY26, Just Dial posted a 13 per cent year-on-year (Y-o-Y) increase in net profit to ₹160 crore, compared to ₹141 crore in Q1FY25. Revenue for the quarter rose 6.2 per cent Y-o-Y to ₹298 crore, up from ₹281 crore in the same quarter last year. At the operating level, Ebitda rose 7.2 per cent annually to ₹86.4 crore in Q1FY26, from ₹80.6 crore a year ago. The Ebitda margin also saw a slight improvement, expanding to 29 per cent from 28.7 per cent in Q1FY25. Echoing similar view, Ravi Singh, SVP of retail research at Religare Broking, said, 'Just Dial's Q1 result was in line with expectations, and today's decline from the ₹960 level is purely on account of profit booking.' He added, 'Fresh buying could emerge above ₹972, with an upside potential towards ₹1,050-1,100, provided investors manage risk with a 5 per cent stop-loss cap. The stock has also been trading with high volumes above the 20-day average in recent sessions, indicating near-term momentum if supported by price action. The overall outlook remains positive with a higher-lows formation.' Nuvama on Just Dial Just Dial (JD) reported Q1FY26 revenue of ₹298 crore, up 3 per cent Q-o-Q and 6.2 per cent Y-o-Y, broadly in line with Nuvama's estimate of ₹301 crore. However, Ebitda margin came in at 29 per cent, missing expectation of 30.2 per cent, primarily due to elevated employee costs and advertising expenses. Net profit stood at ₹160 crore, ahead of its ₹140 crore estimate, supported by higher other income. Paid campaigns grew modestly by 0.7 per cent Q-o-Q and 4.3 per cent Y-o-Y, while collections declined sharply by 19.2 per cent Q-o-Q, though up 0.6 per cent Y-o-Y. 'We are changing FY26E/27E EPS by +6.8 per cent/-4.3 per cent based on cuts to our growth and profitability expectations, with higher other income in near term lifting EPS in FY26E. Our DCF yields a target price (TP) of ₹1,280 (earlier ₹1,300). Maintain 'Buy' due to valuation support,' the brokerage added.

Citi reiterates ‘Buy' on Just Dial shares; sees valuation comfort and growth optionality after Q1 results
By Markets Desk Published on July 16, 2025, 08:25 IST Citi has maintained its 'Buy' rating on Just Dial, setting a target price of ₹1,100, despite a slowdown in both revenue and user traffic growth in the June quarter. The brokerage believes undemanding valuations and a strong cash position give the company room for strategic capital allocation and long-term growth. In Q1FY26, Just Dial's revenue growth slowed to 6% year-on-year, slightly missing Citi's estimates by 2%. More significantly, user traffic growth decelerated to 7% YoY, raising concerns about engagement and platform stickiness. This comes after several quarters of strong digital adoption and outreach following Reliance Retail's acquisition of the platform. Citi highlighted that in FY25, strong cost control had led to a sharp margin expansion, with EBITDA margins improving by 800 basis points to 29%. However, it warned that margins are likely to moderate in the near term as the company will need to reinvest aggressively into customer acquisition, product innovation, and geographic expansion to maintain its leadership in the local discovery space. Despite the soft growth prints, Citi finds the valuation extremely attractive. At less than 8x ex-cash Mar'27E PE, Just Dial trades at a significant discount to broader internet peers. Furthermore, the brokerage noted that the company's large cash reserves could be deployed for share buybacks, special dividends, or inorganic growth, which may serve as upside triggers. Citi continues to see Just Dial as a strong long-term digital play in India's underpenetrated local business services market, particularly given its deep integration within Reliance's broader digital commerce ecosystem.
