PhysicsWallah Share Price Crashes to All-Time Low ₹96.65: What's Next for Investors?

PhysicsWallah's stock just hit rock bottom at ₹96.65. Ouch. That's a new all-time low, and it's got retail investors like us scratching our heads.

Why the Big Drop?

Post-IPO profit-taking kicked it off. The stock debuted strong in November 2025 at around ₹143, up 31% from the ₹109 issue price. But sellers jumped in quick, wiping out gains amid market jitters and edtech worries. Volatility spiked—think 44% swings on bad days. Broader caution on new listings didn't help. Now at lows near ₹95-107, it's down from peaks of ₹162.

Key Financial Snapshot:

Market cap sits at about ₹30,693 crore. P/E ratio? A whopping negative -226, way below the industry average of 36-37—shows losses eating earnings. Debt to equity is low at 0-0.69, no big debt pile (₹0 Cr total), which is a plus. Cash flow details are thin, but ROE hovers at 0% to -15.5%, ROCE negative at -5.25%. Dividend yield? Zero.

Profit growth YoY? Sales up a solid 52%, but bottom line struggles—EPS negative at -0.47 to -0.85. Like a student acing exams but flunking the fee payment, growth's there, profitability lags.

Alakh Pandey started it all in 2016 with a YouTube channel from Allahabad—physics lessons for JEE/NEET kids, just ₹30k budget. Views exploded. In 2020, he teamed with Prateek Maheshwari for the app. Unicorn by 2022 ($1.1B val), hit $2.8B in 2024 funding. IPO in Nov 2025 made it public, first pure edtech unicorn to list.

How They Make Money?

Freemium magic online: free YouTube vids hook you, then paid app courses for JEE, NEET, CBSE—live classes, tests, doubts via chatbot. Offline? PW Vidyapeeth centers expanding fast (70 new yearly). Affordable fees beat rivals. Acquisitions boost reach. Hybrid model rules.

Price Predictions Ahead?

Short-term shaky, but bulls eye rebound. 2026: ₹220-260. 2030? Some say ₹300-400 range if edtech booms. By 2035-2040, optimistic calls hit ₹3,000-3,450—wild growth needed, though. Doubt it without profits turning positive. Like betting on a startup kid becoming a millionaire athlete—possible, risky.
