1.At a Glance
S J Logistics (India) Ltd (SJLL) is the friend who suddenly gets rich but still borrows money for chai. In FY25, profits skyrocketed 150% TTM, ROE strutted at 32%, and the operating margin hit 16% – yet, dividend payout remains a proud0%. The company is a multimodal transport operator with a passport full of stamps, shipping project cargo and freight across continents. Stock P/E is 11.4 – cheap compared to peers – but the market’s love story cooled after the ₹725 high, now chilling at ₹418.
2.Introduction
Picture this: A logistics company so diversified it could probably deliver a wedding cake to Antarctica without it melting. Founded in 2003, SJ Logistics started small but now flexes as a global operator moving goods across South America, Europe, the Gulf, and South East Asia.
In the last three years, they’ve turned their P&L into a financial gym session – bulking revenue from ₹149 Cr in FY23 to ₹502 Cr in FY25, with operating profits growing nearly six-fold. And yet, shareholders who dreamed of a fat dividend cheque are still waiting like it’s the Indian railways “expected arrival” time.
3.Business Model (WTF Do They Even Do?)
