MakeMyTrip (MMYT) has drawn fresh attention after a sharp pullback, with the share price down about 21% over the past month and roughly 41% lower year to date.
This pullback comes after a mixed run for MakeMyTrip, with the share price down sharply year to date but still ahead over three and five years when looking at total shareholder return. Recent weakness, including a 7 day share price decline of about 5%, suggests momentum has faded as investors reassess growth potential and risk after a strong multi year run.

MakeMyTrip has shed a large chunk of its recent gains, yet still carries a long multi year track record and a big gap to analyst targets. Does that reset justify stepping in now, or waiting for a deeper markdown before reassessing value?
Against a last close of $47.92, the most followed narrative pins MakeMyTrip’s fair value at $75.40. It frames today’s pullback as a wide gap between current pricing and what that crowd thinks the travel platform could be worth when long term drivers play through.
Expanding online travel adoption, driven by continued growth in internet and smartphone penetration and increasing comfort with digital bookings, especially in underpenetrated tier-2 and tier-3 cities, is likely to further expand MakeMyTrip's addressable market and support sustained top-line revenue and booking volume growth.
Rising disposable incomes and a structural shift in consumer preferences towards experiences and frequent travel, including growth in international outbound travel, offer a long runway for increased gross bookings and recurring revenues, as reflected in robust year-on-year growth in both domestic and international segments.

That 36% “undervalued” fair value narrative leans heavily on long term earnings forecasts. A second lens tells a different story. On raw pricing, MakeMyTrip trades on a P/E of 131.7x, while the Hospitality industry sits near 20.3x and peers around 27.5x, with a fair ratio estimate of 51.1x.
This gap means investors are paying a far higher multiple today than both sector averages and the level the market could move towards over time. The question is simple: Are you comfortable underwriting that much optimism, or does that premium feel like valuation risk that needs a bigger margin of safety?
