Devyani International IPO – Review and Recommendation

Devyani International Ltd is the largest franchisee of Yum Brands and among the largest quick-service restaurants (QSR) chain operators in India.

Company revenues are fluctuating. Its revenues for FY21 have reduced compared to FY20 and FY19 which can be attributed due to Covid-19 pandemic.

Company has been incurring losses in the last 3 years.

The issue price cannot be ascertained whether it is under priced or overpriced as it is incurring losses.

If you observe, Barbeque Nation that came for IPO few months back also was incurring losses, had 5.8x oversubscription on IPO and listed 2% discount on listing day. Yes it recovered and gave up to 50% returns in short term.

Due to current bull run, such IPOs may provide gains on listing day and in short term. However, if investors are looking for medium to long term investment, they need to wait and watch company performance for some more time. As of now investors can give a miss to such IPOs.
