Experts’ take on Niva Bupa
“If we annualize FY25 earnings to the post-IPO fully diluted equity base, the asking price results in a negative price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio. Based on FY24 earnings, the P/E ratio stands at 642.22. Consequently, the issue appears to be aggressively priced,” said Bajaj Broking in an IPO note.
