"Its strong portfolio of globally recognized brands, business and geographical diversification, strong presence across key consumption areas and increasing digital adoption provides a strong growth runway for the company. Although the company has been loss making, but it is on a footprint expansion mode with strong industry triggers," said BP Equities.
Considering the expected improvement in financial performance and future growth drivers, the brokerage has given a 'subscribe' rating for the long term.
Reliance Securities also recommended a subscribe to the issue. "The IPO is valued at 62.8x of FY21 EV/EBITDA and 9.9x of FY21 EV/Sales, which look to be reasonable compared to its listed QSR peers and Westlife Development (McDonald’s) and Burger King," said the brokerage.
The brokerage further said, "Fast food culture under QSR is expected to flourish in India due to increase in working class population and continued urbanization. We note that business model of QSR is quite impressive, as each restaurant franchise starts generating significant return on equity at restaurant level once it reaches utilization level of more than 90 percent, which bodes well for the long-term investors."
