Recommendation / Investment strategy
- On the issue price of Rs 10 and based on FY2015 EPS of Rs 4.2, its P/E Ratio works out to be 2.38. Similarly, based on last 3 years EPS of Rs 16.76, P/E Ratio works out to be 0.8. Means company is asking the issue price of Rs 10 in the P/E ratio of 0.8 to 2.38. Its peers like Jubilant Foods P/E ratio is 79.4 (Highest) and Speciality Restaurants is 69.1 (Lowest). Hence the issue price of Rs 10 is reasonably priced.
- Vidli Restaurant Limited revenues have grown aggressively in 1 year. However, it generates thin margins of 2.7%. It generated higher margins for the 6 months ended Sep-15, however, we need to see such higher margins consistently. Its share price is reasonably priced. High risk investors can invest in this IPO.
