Ujaas Energy: ₹367 Stock, 503 Days Working Capital, and P/E of 542 — Solar Hope or Sunstroke?

1. At a Glance

From being a solar EPC pioneer to almost becoming a zombie company, Ujaas Energy is now trading at ₹367/share with a jaw-droppingP/E of 542. That’s not a typo — it’s a tribute to irrational exuberance. With TTM revenue of just ₹23 Cr and PAT of ₹7.5 Cr (half of which isother income), Ujaas is either the comeback king or the king of creative accounting. Your guess is as good as theirs.

2. Introduction: From Dust to Dawn… Maybe?

Let’s be clear: Ujaas was left for dead. After peaking in FY14–FY17 with revenues over ₹500 Cr, it nosedived into losses, negative OPMs, massive receivables, and working capital days that even glaciers thought were slow.

But fast-forward to FY24–FY25: It started reporting tiny profits again. Q1 FY26? ₹2.49 Cr PAT — small, but positive. The company is also involved in electric vehicle sales, and is whispering words like “energy tech platform.” Suddenly, momentum players love it. Retail holding is rising, price is up 72% YoY, and promoters (once down to 0.01%) now hold 90%+. We smell a plot twist.

3. Business Model (WTF Do They Even Do?)

Ujaas has 3 verticals:

  1. Solar EPC & Rooftop Projects: Earlier, a major player in rooftop & state-based EPCs like Madhya Pradesh & Rajasthan. Now? Miniscule.
  2. Solar Power Generation (IPP Model): Operates a few MWs of solar plants — recurring revenue, but capped.
  3. Electric Vehicle Sales: Recently added — reselling EV scooters, with zero moat and intense competition.

Translation: It’s a patchwork quilt of small bets, none of which are scaled — yet the narrative sounds like they’re the next Adani Green.

4. Financials Overview

Q1 FY26:

  • Revenue: ₹2.65 Cr (down 57% YoY)
  • PAT: ₹2.49 Cr (vs ₹0.30 Cr last Qtr)
  • Other Income: ₹6.56 Cr = more than actual business profit
  • TTM Revenue: ₹23.29 Cr
  • TTM PAT: ₹7.52 Cr
  • EPS (Qtr)
  • : ₹0.22 → Annualized ~₹0.88
  • Recalculated P/E: ₹367 / ₹0.88 ≈417x

🧯Profit growth of 22% CAGR (5Y) is technically true, but it’s growth from losses — not cash-spinning growth. ROCE is 10.4% now — better than the -8% days, but still below par for solar.

6. What’s Cooking – News, Triggers, Drama

  • Promoter stake restored to 89.98%— was 0.01% a year ago. Hello, reverse merger?
  • Board committee restructured— Implementation Committee dissolved, Management Committee expanded.
  • EV sales channel added, but no disclosures on units or brand = vibes over substance.
  • Retail hype: Stock up 72% in 1 year, P/E >500x — classic pump candidate?

If there’s a revival story here, we need real revenue traction — not just board shuffling and other income gains.
