eMudhra IPO: Should You Subscribe?
Angel One is neutral on the public issue. Angel One research report on eMudhra IPO says, “eMudhra has an established position as licensed CA with a strong network of channel partners, a diverse customer base and it will be using part of the IPO proceeds to grow in overseas markets as well improve its data center infrastructure. However, the scale of operation is relatively modest and digital security and paperless transformation market is highly competitive. At the upper end of the price band, the post issue FY22 annualized P/E works out to 49.0x which we believe is factoring the positives. Hence, we recommend a Neutral rating on the issue.”
