Valuation and Peer Comparison
BBQ Hospitality has a negative EPS of (35.96) per share and (11.77) per share for 8 month period (30th Nov 20) and FY20 respectively. NAV is also negative at Rs (5.33) for 8 month period ending 30th Nov 2020. Considering the weak numbers, the offer is highly overvalued at Rs 500 per share (Upper price band). Jubilant Food works, Westlife Development, Speciality Restaurants, and Burger king are shown as the listed peers as per the RHP.
Future Outlook and Conclusion
Chain Casual Dining market in India has been flourishing over the last few years. The Chain CDR segment represents the 2nd largest share in the chain food services market in India after QSR. However, the Pandemic has had a significant negative impact on the hospitality sector and the momentum of growth has been delayed.
Weak financial performance casts a red flag over the Issuer’s viability. The company suffered continuously and increasing losses after tax even before the pandemic for the last three fiscals. The future of BBQ Hospitality does not appear to be rosy due to the worst affected sector during pandemic and mounting losses year on year. BBQ Hospitality has completed Pre IPO round raising Rs 149.97 crore at Rs 252 per share. The offer price has just doubled which appears unjustified. Hence, one might avoid this IPO.
