Sectorial outlook – The global B2B information services market which was close to around USD 140 billion in 2020 is estimated to be a USD 190 billion market in 2025 growing at a compound annual growth rate of approximately 6.16%. In recent years, the trend of growth of information service providers offering services through a platform and having a subscription-based pricing model is gaining popularity. Many of these platform-based B2B information services providers are known to be concentrating mainly on tracking growing start-ups, funding, technology, and other similar associated parameters. The low-cost, high-value nature of this industry has drawn several companies to venture into this market. PE firms have been the backbone for the growth of private companies worldwide, especially for emerging startups. As the number of private companies is growing worldwide, the role of PE firms in guiding, supporting, and nurturing these private companies has been commendable. PE firms are growing more efficient than ever and they are employing technology, availing services from different B2B information service providers to build a strong portfolio of companies which is expected to have a positive impact on the company and its business.
The financials (revenue and net profit) are shown in the graph below
Valuation – In the last 3 years the company has been making losses and when we annualize FY22 Q1 EPS, the P/E is around 1000x for a share price of Rs.80. As per the company, there are no listed entities in India, the business portfolio of which is comparable with its business. The company’s revenue has been consistently growing in the past 3 yrs but the valuation seems very expensive at this point in time.
Recommendation – The Company is ranked among the Top 5 players globally in market intelligence data provider to private companies and it has great potential for the future but the question is whether it can improve its market share while still being profitable, After considering all the factors the listing currently seems expensive and we would recommend “Avoid” to this IPO for investors however it will be good to keep a track on the progress of this company to revisit and review the opportunity.
