Company valuation

Barbeque Nation is small cap company and its post IPO market cap is Rs 1877.15 Cr. at the upper band of IPO price and their total sale is Rs. 846.97 Cr in 2019-20. Since Hospitality industry is heavily impacted by covid, it might be better to consider 2019-20 revenue profit for evaluation purpose. The market cap to 2019-20 annual sale ratio is 2.21. The price to same ratio consider 2020-21 year (extrapolated sales) would be 14. The actual ratio can be considered somewhere between these two.

It may take some time for the restaurant to reach to normal sales. So there may not be much listing gain. So this is slightly riskier IPO and investors should keep the risk in mind before applying for this IPO.
