The company stopped orders at its direct stores on 1 November and had 319 dealer stores on 8 November, with 450 planned by December. The shares fell as much as 6% after the results, and Goldman Sachs has a Sell rating. The change in sales channel may cut costs, but revenue has to grow for it to matter.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Ola Electric dealership model plans are at the centre of the stock&#8217;s story on 13 November 2026, after Q2 results showed a 39% fall in revenue and the shares slid about 3.44% to Rs 34.51. The company has switched from selling only through its own stores to a dealer network, and investors are asking whether that is enough to turn revenue around.<\/p>\n<p>This article covers the Q2 numbers, how the dealer rollout is going, what the stock is pricing, and the balance of arguments for and against. Univest does not give buy or sell calls, so it sets out a framework and not a verdict.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-top:24px;\"><a

Direct stores stopped taking orders on 1 November, and until dealer stores fill the gap, sales may lose momentum. The Q3 result will be the first full quarter of the new model and the first real test. Ola Electric stock may see volatility until dealer stores fill the gap.

Dealers handle local sales, service and expansion. Company stores will focus on brand experience, and the company says the model is more asset-light. It stopped taking orders at its direct stores from 1 November.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_many_stores_does_Ola_Electric_have_under_the_new_model\"><\/span><strong>How many stores does Ola Electric have under the new model?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Ans.<\/strong> As of 8 November 2026 the company had 255 dealer partners running 319 stores. It plans about 450 stores by December 2026 and about 700 by March 2027. Company-owned stores are expected to close largely by December, so the final count depends on how quickly dealer stores open to replace them.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_did_Ola_Electric_perform_in_Q2_FY27\"><\/span><strong>How did Ola Electric perform in Q2 FY27?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Ans.<\/strong> Revenue from operations fell 39% year on year to Rs 421 crore and 7.5% from Rs 455 crore in the June quarter. The net loss narrowed to Rs 362 crore from Rs 418 crore a year earlier but widened from Rs 336 crore in the June quarter. EBITDA loss was Rs 218 crore, and gross margin was 29.93% against 30.9% a year ago.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_the_dealership_model_fix_the_revenue_decline\"><\/span><strong>Can the dealership model fix the revenue decline?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Ans.<\/strong> It can help on reach, service and costs, but it does not guarantee volume. Revenue depends on registrations, price and product mix. Registrations in Q2 were about 41,650, down 17% from a year ago and about 5% below the June quarter&#8217;s 43,921, which is our own calculation. The model needs to lift sales, not only change how they are made.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_does_Goldman_Sachs_say_about_the_Ola_Electric_stock\"><\/span><strong>What does Goldman Sachs say about the Ola Electric stock?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Ans.<\/strong> A report on 13 November 2026 said Goldman Sachs has a Sell rating and sees about 37% downside from the then price. The shares fell as much as 6% in early trade after the results. A single brokerage view is one opinion, and other analysts may differ.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_the_valuation_of_the_Ola_Electric_stock\"><\/span><strong>What is the valuation of the Ola Electric stock?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Ans.<\/strong> The company is loss-making, so there is no meaningful earnings multiple. The stock trades at about 3.48 times book value, return on equity is about minus 54.7% and debt to equity is 0.82. Market capitalisation was about Rs 16,542 crore at the 12 November close, per NSE data cited in reports.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_are_the_main_risks_for_Ola_Electric_shares\"><\/span><strong>What are the main risks for Ola Electric shares?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Ans.<\/strong> Revenue has fallen for nine straight quarters on a year-on-year basis, according to one report, and the adjusted EBITDA margin worsened to minus 58.5% from minus 37.4%. Competition from Ather, TVS and Bajaj is strong, the shift away from direct stores may disrupt sales for a time, and the company has needed new capital, including a Rs 1,000 crore rights issue.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Should_I_buy_sell_or_hold_Ola_Electric_shares\"><\/span><strong>Should I buy, sell or hold Ola Electric shares?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Ans.<\/strong> Univest does not give buy or sell calls.
