MoneyWorks4me Opinion on Vijaya Diagnostic<\/h2>\n

How is the business of Vijaya Diagnostic Centre? Great, Good, Gruesome?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Great. Diagnostics business is high return accretive, low investment and growing business. As India\u2019s disposable income increases and health awareness grows, the diagnostics business will see an uptick in volumes.<\/p>\n

Vijaya Diagnostic being an organized player in the diagnostic industry, is likely to grow faster than overall diagnostic industry growth. Smaller players are consolidating or shutting down as they can\u2019t generate enough volume of tests thereby unable to match low-cost testing of diagnostic chains.<\/p>\n

Many of the leading players in the industry like Dr. Lal Pathlabs<\/a>, Metropolis<\/a>, etc. are clocking a growth rate of 15% annually. We expect a similar growth rate potential for Vijaya Diagnostic.<\/p>\n

Given bright prospects, the company has come out with an IPO at Rs. 5,400 Cr valuation for just Rs. 350 Cr in sales. Within this, a lot of sales is attributable to Covid tests which will come down over subsequent quarters.<\/p>\n

At Rs. 5,400 Cr in market cap, the company is demanding P\/E of 60-75x on normalized earning per share. This is quite steep given that it has a limited presence in one state. Besides, the company\u2019s size is too small to fight Pan-India players and may have to compete on price as most firms offer similar testing.<\/p>\n

We recommend Strong Avoid<\/span> on IPO. We DO NOT advice for listing gains.<\/strong><\/p>\n

IPOs are often priced on the expensive side as the outgoing shareholder or promoters do not wish to miss upside potential; however offlate the IPOs are taking advantage of the buoyant IPO market to price the issues quite steeply, beyond any blue sky scenario, thereby short-changing minority shareholders. This in turn is getting reflected in listing gains that have disappeared completely.<\/p>\n

Note<\/u><\/strong>:<\/strong>\u00a0We do not recommend buy just because the IPO market is hot. We do not earn any commission or fee for promoting IPOs so expect an honest review from us on the business model and valuation.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
