Delhivery Share Listing Today: What to Expect
“We are expecting another soft listing of the new IPO, we expect Delhivery to open near its offer price of Rs 462-Rs 487. We have given a neutral rating to Delhivery IPO on back of expensive valuations. If we look at valuation based on annualized FY22 numbers, the IPO is priced at EV/Sales of 4.8x and Price to Book value of 5.2x at the upper price band of the IPO. For 9MFY22 the company has reported an EBITDA loss of Rs 232 crores and Net loss of Rs 891 crores. If we look at the grey market premium, as per different market news GMP of Delhivery IPO is trading at Rs 5. So looking at expensive valuation and some correction in the market in the last two weeks we are expecting a soft listing of Delhivery IPO,” said Yash Gupta, equity research analyst, Angel One Ltd.
“Considering lower-than-expected subscription demands to its initial public offering (IPO) we expect marginally flat listing gain +or-5 per cent on a best case scenario considering the market’s volatility. We believe reason for low subscription was investors fear on business operation continued losses on books and followed by aggressive IPO valuations,” said Prashanth Tapse, vice president (Research), Mehta Equities Ltd.
