Assessment : Prataap Snacks IPO
- Prataap Snacks is one of the top six Indian snack food companies in terms of revenues for 2016.
- The company is among the fastest growing companies in the organized snack market for the period 2010 and 2016. Prataap Snacks Revenues have grown at a CAGR of 27.3% in the last four years, higher than the average industry growth of 10%.
- At upper price band of Rs 938, the company is demanding a PE of 196.65 on the Pre Issue Equity capital. The PE ratio on post issue equity stands at a whooping 223.19 which is considered quite high. The PE even on its FY2016 performance is still higher than peers and gives little comfort.
- Prataap Snacks IPO Valuations are high and it compares poorly with the peers it has listed in RHP. Its OPM stood at 4.5% as compared to double digit figures of its peers. Also it may not be proper to compare Prataap Snacks with companies like Britannia which has much more diverse and reputed range of products.
- Only notable point about Prataap Snacks IPO is the companys ability to grow its sales at a good rate which speaks well for the company.
- I am not likely to subscribe to Prataap Snacks IPO even though one cannot rule out speculative activity in this counter on listing.
