π’ At a Glance
SABTNL β yes, that same zombie media stock that was near-dead with negative book value β is now trading at βΉ1,171. After a fresh βΉ15 Cr promoter handover, an open offer at βΉ10, and a failed TV empire now being rebranded, this stock is up 346% YoY. P/E? A chill 6,492x. So the question is simple: WTF is going on?
1. π Introduction with Hook
Sri Adhikari Brothers was once the proud owner of βSAB TVβ… back when Orkut was hot and Daler Mehndi was still trending.
Cut to 2025:
- πΊ No meaningful content production
- π§Ύ Book Value: -βΉ4.36
- πΈ 3 Cr revenue in FY24, up to βΉ6 Cr in FY25
- π Completed NCLT resolution in May 2025
- π₯ Stock price: βΉ1,171 π€―
And just as you were about to write this off as a glitch in the matrix, a new promoter swoops in and suddenly everyoneβs acting like this is the next Netflix.
2. π’ WTF Do They Even Do? (Business Model)
Well… they used to do something.
Historically, SABTNL was a TV content creator and broadcaster. It had spin-offs like:
- TV Vision Ltd β Launched channels like Mastiii
- SAB Events & Governance Now β Some kinda news + events play
But after years of losses and NCLT admission, operations were largely suspended.
Currently:
- They report βΉ6 Cr revenue
- No clarity on active content IPs
- No indication of ongoing broadcasting activity
- Future business
