Valuation Analysis Apparently the IPO price band is on higher side, say at 200 PE ratio but another aspect is that topline of the company is growing at very very high rate and half of its hospitals are still below maturity period of 5 years. Once that period is crossed, these hospitals also earn strong returns and will change Net profit and Earnings per share. More of in poor country like India, affordable healthcare will always be welcome feature and will be the longest surviving company. and for that reason, more valuation can be given to this share.
one more aspect that through this IPO , you will be doing investment as well as philanthropic work.
Donot forget this noble aspect. and … also understand that Stockmarkets always value such philanthropic aspects, what matter the IPO pricing is.
