MoneyWorks4me Opinion
Is business good bad or gruesome?
Average. Hospital is a moderate ROCE and high growth business. Less number of beds per million, increasing affordability and insurance availability are key reasons for sustained growth in hospitals as a sector.
In past, we have seen that hospitals need large investments to set up hospitals in prime locations as well as facilities with a minimum number of beds for better cost-efficiency. Besides, it also has a high cost of doctors and caretakers which limits profit margin.
We believe that hospitals with more surgeries in a day, large facility and a high number of surgeries per doctor are likely to earn a steady return on capital for a sustained period. In hospitals, average occupancy and length of stay are key parameters to determine efficiency and hence return on capital. According to our analysis, Narayana Health and Apollo Healthcare are good companies in this space.
Krishna Institute of Medical Sciences is an emerging regional player. Current numbers look impressive but it has to be looked at in the context of valuation one has to pay for owning such a business.
In the current market, valuations are high and hence IPO is taking advantage of optimistic sentiment in the market.
We believe at 17X EV/EBITDA, the prices are high but they can be considered as entry price and later added when prices are favorable in the future.
We recommend BUY on Krishna Institute of Medical Sciences in IPO listing. We will like to see the sustainability of operating metrics and recommend higher allocation in the future.
Recommendation: BUY for listing gains
P.S. Our IPO calls are mostly to take advantage of IPO allotment in sectors that are in favor. We would not recommend a large allocation soon as we are yet to see company performance and execution post listing hence we don’t recommend buy immediately after listing unless we are convinced about the business model or price.
