Is Fino Payments Bank IPO Price is underpriced or overpriced?
Fino Payments Bank share price band is Rs 560 to Rs 577 per share.
1) Last 3 years average EPS is negative, hence we cannot compute P/E.
2) If we take FY21 EPS of Rs 2.62 and upper price band of Rs 577, the P/E ratio works out to 220x.
3) If we take Q1 FY22 EPS of Rs 0.4 and annualize for FY22, the P/E works out to be 360x.
4) Means company is asking IPO price in the P/E range of 220x to 360x.
3) There are no listed peers who are doing similar business, hence cannot ascertain whether the issue price is overpriced or underpriced.
However if we consider 220x to 360x P/E in general, it is highly priced (as private banks in general are trading at P/E of 5x to 50x and public sector banks are trading at P/E of 6x to 71x (source: moneycontrol))
