We believe that the IPO is fairly priced and recommend a “Subscribe-Long term” rating to the IPO,” said Anand Rathi Research in an IPO note.
Mobikwik IPO – GMP, price band, and other details
On the other hand, the issue of Mobikwik is entirely a sale of 2;05 crore fresh shares, which means the raised amount will go to the company. The company’s purpose in raising proceeds is to fund growth in the financial services business; capex for the payment services business; investment in data, ML, AI, product, and technology; and other general corporate purposes. The company aims to raise Rs 572 crore. The company’s IPO price band ranges between Rs 265 to Rs 279 per equity share.
The company’s aim is to leverage technology as the primary factor to facilitate financial inclusion for the underserved population in India. The company has acquired 161.03 million Registered Users and enabled 4.26 million Merchants to make and accept payments online and offline, as of June 30, 2024.
“At the upper band, the company is valued at 155x its FY24. The company is preparing to introduce additional services, such as investments and insurance, to establish itself as a comprehensive digital platform for financial services, which is expected to boost its future revenue and profits. However, it reported losses for Q1 FY25 due to pre-funding cost adjustment provisions. We believe that the issue is richly priced and recommend a “Subscribe – Long Term” rating to the IPO,” said Anand Rathi Research in an IPO note.
