Company valuation

Easy Trip Planners is small cap company and its post IPO market cap is Rs 2032 Cr. at the upper band of IPO price and their total sale is Rs. 179.7 Cr (profit Rs 34.6 Cr) in 2019-20. Since travel industry is heavily impacted by covid, it might be better to consider 2019-20 total profit for evaluation purpose. The market cap to 2019-20 annual profit (P/E) ratio is 58.7. This ratio is high considering the travel industry is still facing covid impact. There might be some listing gain due to high growth expectation but conservative investors should probably avoid this IPO.
