Overall, Infibeam Avenues has the potential for significant long-term growth, but investors should be aware of the risks involved.

Infibeam Avenues is expected to post steady growth in 2024, with revenues growing at 20-25% year-on-year. The expansion will be driven by increasing adoption of digital payments and e-commerce services in India. Profitability will improve as operating leverage kicks in. Net profit margin can increase to 10-12% in FY2024 from 8% in FY2023.

Given the earnings outlook, the stock can trade between 30-40x P/E multiple on FY2024 earnings. This translates to a share price target range of Rs 37.6 – Rs 52.52 for 2024. The lower end accounts for execution risks while the higher end factors growth potential.

In 2025, Infibeam Avenues is projected to sustain over 20% revenue growth, supported by its market leadership in digital payments and enterprise software platforms. Profitability will continue improving as scale enables better cost absorption. Net margins can expand to 14-15% by FY2025.

Applying a P/E multiple band of 32-45x on expected FY2025 earnings indicates fair share value of Rs 45.12 – Rs 64.34. The upside will be driven by steady earnings growth.

By 2026, Infibeam Avenues’ growth is estimated to be around 20% revenue CAGR driven by the rise in adoption of integrated payment and commerce solutions. Entry into new international markets will provide additional growth impetus. This will expand net margins to 16-18% by FY2026.

The stock can trade at 45-55x P/E band on FY2026 earnings, giving a fair price range of Rs 54.48 – Rs 79.95. The higher valuations account for leadership position and high growth.

In 2027, growth is projected to accelerate to 25% CAGR as the company witnesses rising demand for its enterprise offerings globally. High margin SaaS business will improve blended margins to 18-20%.

Valuing the stock at 45-60x FY2027 earnings indicates potential share price range of Rs 66.24 – Rs 99.27. The upside depends on execution of international expansion strategy.

By 2028, Infibeam Avenues is estimated to command over 30% revenue share driven by market leadership across key segments like digital payments and enterprise software platforms. Best-in-class net margins of 22-24% seem achievable.

Given the strong earnings growth, the stock can warrant higher valuation multiple of 60-80x P/E on FY2028 earnings. This points to fair share value of Rs 81.96 – Rs 123.19.

In 2029, Infibeam Avenues is projected to sustain 30%+ revenue growth through new product innovation and entry into high growth geographies. Operating leverage can boost net margins to 25-27% levels.

The company’s leadership and execution track record can lead to premium valuation of 80-100x P/E on FY2029 earnings. This indicates fair share price of Rs 103.68 – Rs 153.24.

By 2030, Infibeam Avenues has potential to become a global leader in enterprise digital platforms with continued 30%+ growth. Strong competitive advantage can help net margins cross 28-30%.

Given the long growth runway, the stock may warrant over 100x P/E valuation on FY2030 earnings, translating to price target between Rs 147.90 – Rs 270.00.
