Zaggle IPO Review
According to Dilip Davda, the contributing editor at Chittorgarh, the company is a unique player in fintech products and related services with vide portfolio of offerings. Though the IPO appears greedily priced, the company is trying to encase the premium for its unique business model. However, well-informed investors may park funds for the medium to long-term rewards.
Zaggle has incorporated a wide range of capabilities into a single platform, making it one of the most feature-rich consumer solutions, said domestic brokerage house, Choice Equity Broking Pvt Ltd. The company’s top line has grown tremendously. The company has a promising future thanks to the debut of its new platform, “Zoyer,” and continual efforts to grow its customer base.
“According to the company’s RHP, there are no other publicly listed firms, both in India and abroad, that engage in a business similar to that of Zaggle. However, the company’s P/E multiple at a higher price band, after adjusting for post-IPO fully diluted paid-up equity, comes out to 87.4x (to its FY23 EPS of Rs. 1.9), which seems to be aggressively priced and thus we assign ‘Subscribe with caution’ rating to this issue,” said Choice Equity brokerage in its report.
According to Geojit Financial Services Ltd, the Zaggle IPO is available at an Adj. P/E of 54.3x (FY23), which seems to be aggressively priced, at the upper price band of ₹164. However, a number of elements, such as a varied clientele covering numerous industries, stable revenue growth over the years, the company’s expansion initiatives, a diversified revenue model, and the growing digital payments industry, all play a role in its appeal.
“Given these considerations, we recommend a ‘Subscribe’ rating for the issue on a short- to medium-term basis,” said the brokerage.
