ixigo IPO review
Giving a ‘subscribe’ tag to ixigo IPO, BP Equities said, “Considering the financial performance, the company’s Revenue/EBITDA/PAT grew at a CAGR of 92.3%/194.9%/76.2% during the FY2021-23 period. The issue is valued at a P/E of 163.2x on the upper price band based on FY2023 earnings. Though the valuations are rich, the nature of the platform business (high pass-through of revenues) and large industry opportunity size would be the key factors to drive sustained and high earnings growth in future. We, therefore, recommend a “Subscribe” rating for the issue.”
