Amagi Media Labs IPO Day 2 LIVE: SBICAP Securities noted that Amagi Media Labs IPO seems poised to achieve profitability for the entire fiscal year FY26, according to the first half of FY26 financial results. Nevertheless, the global Media & Entertainment sector is currently experiencing a wave of consolidation, particularly in Amagi Media Labs' main market of North America, which may have an effect on pricing power for Amagi Media Labs.
The brokerage said that at the upper price band of ₹361, the IPO is evaluated at 6.7 times the FY25 price-to-sales ratio based on the capital after the issue. The brokerage has given a NEUTRAL rating to the offering and intends to monitor the company’s performance for several quarters following its listing.

Amagi Media Labs IPO Day 2 LIVE: According to the brokerage, the company shows strong revenue growth, but profitability is still weak with negative PAT and ROE.
Swastika Investmart believes the EBITDA margin is very low (around 2%), indicating the business is still in an early or transition phase. Even with the valuation haircut, the Price-to-Earnings (P/E) ratio based on FY26 annualized earnings is extremely high. The IPO is mainly for growth and technology investment, not immediate earnings visibility.
“Given the risk–reward, it’s better to avoid this IPO for now, longterm investors should wait for consistent profits,” said the brokerage.
Amagi Media Labs IPO Day 2 LIVE: Amagi Media Labs IPO includes a fresh issue of shares amounting to ₹816 crore along with an Offer For Sale (OFS) of 2.7 crore shares, valued at ₹972.6 crore, based on the upper price band from existing shareholders. This brings the total size of the issue to ₹1,788.6 crore.
Included in the OFS are PI Opportunities Fund I, PI Opportunities Fund II, Norwest Venture Partners X – Mauritius, Accel India VI (Mauritius) Ltd, Trudy Holdings, and several individual selling shareholders who will be selling their shares.
The fresh issue proceeds, amounting to ₹550 crore, will be allocated to enhance Amagi's technology and cloud infrastructure, support inorganic growth through acquisitions, and cover general corporate expenses.
The deployment of these funds will be staggered, with ₹82 crore designated for FY26, ₹359 crore for FY27, and ₹108 crore for FY28.
Amagi Media Labs IPO Day 2 LIVE: Anand Rathi mentioned that at the highest price range, the firm's valuation stands at 6.7 times FY25 price-to-sales ratio, resulting in a post-issue market capitalization of ₹78,098 million. The company has achieved profitability in the first half of FY26 and, bolstered by robust operating leverage, is set to provide full-year profitability in FY26.
The brokerage is confident that ongoing investments in research and development to boost scalability, automation, performance, and user experience further solidify its status as the “industry cloud” for video within the media and entertainment sector. Considering these aspects, the IPO seems to be fully valued and is advised as “Subscribe – Long Term.”

“We believe company is well aligned to secular trends in connected TV, programmatic advertising and the global streaming ecosystem. Hence, we recommend Amagi Media Labs Ltd IPO “SUBSCRIBE” for long term perspective only,” said Shinde.
