Nykaa is the leading specialty and personal care companies in India. Major brands are offering their products on their platform for sale.

Company’s revenues have grown significantly in the last 3 years. Company has turned from loss making to profit making in FY21.

There are two major negative or risk factors in this IPO. One is that company IPO price is very highly priced. Second is that while it turned to profit making company in FY21 and generated 2.5% margins on its revenues, the margins for Q1 FY22 (Apr to Jun Quarter) has declined to 0.4%. This indicates that FY21 margins are not sustained. Investors should not carry away that such profits would continue in future (which is a classic example).

Considering all these factors, investors should avoid such IPOs which are riskier for investment.
