DreamFolks Services IPO: Apply or not?
On DreamFolks IPO review, Swastika Investmart research report says, "DreamFolks will be one of the biggest beneficiaries of the aforementioned theme due to its first mover advantage and dominant position in the lounge access market (68 per cent share in terms of volumes). Further, it has significant exclusivity for India-issued credit and debit card programs in key locations. The biggest competitive advantage for the company is its network effect; the tie-up with all the 54 lounges in India enables it to provide a one-stop solution to its clients and strengthen its position between the clients and the lounge operators. Additionally, the company has created a proprietary technology platform that ensures scalability. Although the company doesn’t have any competitors in the domestic market, they face competition from large global programs such as Priority Pass, and Dragon Pass which have significant experience and a huge international presence. Despite the asset-light operations, the company has witnessed volatile cash flows due to high receivables. Finally, the nature of the issue is OFS which will lead to a 33% dilution of the promoter’s stake and premium valuations (P/E of 104.82 based on FY22 EPS) makes it suitable for long-term investors with moderate to high-risk appetite. And therefore, we recommend a "SUBSCRIBE" rating only for “High Risk Investors".
Giving 'subscribe' tag to the public issue, Reliance Securities says, "DreamFolks Services Ltd has a strong business revenue potential over next decade on the back of a) Healthy air traffic growth, b) Increasing issuance of credit cards and c) Better awareness of usage of cards for lounges and higher penetration from current low level of ~5%. In view of strong business moat, healthy recovery in Air Passenger traffic, increase Lounge services, multi-fold revenue growth potential, unique asset light and efficient business model, we recommend SUBSCRIBE to the issue."
