Ravi Singh, vice president and head of research at Share India Securities told indianexpress.com, “Over the past few years, Medanta has continuously upgraded its infrastructure with high end medical equipments and managed to deliver decent financial performance. However, the macroeconomic environment is challenging, GHL’s focus towards clinical research, experienced doctors team and presence in large states made its IPO a good choice to SUBSCRIBE.”

The research teams at Reliance Securities and Geojit Financial Services in their respective IPO notes have given a “Subscribe” rating to the offer.

Reliance Securities in its IPO note said “Based on FY22 earnings, the company is valued at 46x P/E, 21.9x EV/EBITDA and 4.5x EV/Sales. Despite the challenging macroeconomic environment, the company has leveraged its large-scale hospitals with world-class infrastructure, high-end medical equipment, and technology to record decent operational and financial performance. In view of GHL’s strong clinical expertise, focus on clinical research and academics, focus on under-served areas with dense population, presence in top capital cities of large states, decent brand equity, experienced management team and valuation comfort, we recommend a ‘SUBSCRIBE’ to the issue.”

Geojit Research’s report noted, “At the upper price band of Rs 336, Medanta is available at a P/E of 46x (FY22 EPS), which is in-line compared to its peers. Considering its strong brand value, new hospital addition, rise in ARPOB, pick up in medical tourism, increasing affordability for healthcare services and promising industry outlook, we assign a “Subscribe” rating on a short to medium term basis.”
