Recommendation / Investment strategy:
- Company is asking for issue price band of ₹ 316 to ₹ 328 per share. Its last 3 years average EPS and last 1 year EPS is minus, hence P/E ratio cannot be worked out.
- Though, Coffee Day Enterprises revenues have been growing consistently in last 5 years, it has been incurring losses in last 3 years. Investors would not get anything by way of dividends. Its asking price would not justify for such loss making company. I would advise investors to stay away from such IPO’s. In future, if it is able to generate profits, one can look to invest. As of now, just stay away.

Thanks Suresh for the detailed analysis on Coffee Day IPO. It greatly helps investors to decide in which IPOs to invest. You are doing a great Job. Thanks again.
Thank you
can you please include whats the book value of the company.
Coffee Day Enterprises has a competitor called Tata Global Beverages who has a master franchise for whole India of a very well known international brand named STARBUCKS.
Thanks to help me if I don’t know about your article means I will buy this ipo only for coffee day brand. Now I got clarification
thanks for your review.
Nice and detailed analysis. Against the general bonhomie and euphoric sentiment in the market on this IPO, your analysis has opened our eyes as regards to the business model, profitability model and sustainability of the business to make profits in near future. This business is more like a retail out let business or a restaurant kind of business – all such businesses in India as on date are losing money and none of the listed companies in this space command such valuations.
Hello sir,
Thank you for your research and analysis.
I want one advice from you. My son is studying 10th std so I need money for his graduation (after 2 and half year)and his higher education (after 6 years) and I have 25l in my hand I just want to park 2 and half years and I am also ready to spend 25k every month for 6 years so kindly advise me on this situation.
Thanks for your advice.
Hi Lakshmi, For lump sum my advice is just invest in bank FD as you need money in 2.5 yrs and 6 years. For monthly investment, invest in mutual funds through SIP every month. Pick-up top funds what I indicated in my top10 funds analysis
Thank you sir.
What nice review..you wonderfully explained why we should nit invest in such kind of ipo.
I thought of investing in this IPO and looking for information a you posted about it and now I am safely ignoring it.
