According to the brokerage's analysis, GPT Healthcare Ltd. is a well-known regional corporate healthcare provider in Eastern India in terms of the number of hospitals and beds. More than 35 specialisations and super specialties are covered, offering a broad spectrum of medical therapies.
Operating in three locations in Eastern India, the organisation has deliberately focused on the relatively untouched healthcare sector. The speciality mixtures and location of the firm are quite varied. However, the company's low occupancy rate and competition from other healthcare service providers pose challenges.
“The issue is coming at a PE valuation of 38.1x which seems fairly priced. But considering all the other factors we suggest Investors to carefully evaluate their risk tolerance and conduct further due diligence before making an investment decision,” the brokerage said.
According to the brokerage, GPT Healthcare offers investors a beneficial chance to participate in a well-known, regionally specialised healthcare provider in Eastern India. The brokerage house supports the company's strategic emphasis on the healthcare sector in eastern India, where it operates in three densely populated areas that have seen robust business and service growth.
Analysing the financial statements, it can be seen that while the company's profit after taxes decreased somewhat by -6.37% during the same period, its operations revenue increased by a modest 7%. In terms of valuation, the issue seeks a market capitalization of Rs. 1526/-cr at the upper band of Rs. 186/-. A fully priced offer, with a P/E ratio of 32.5x, is what the business is requesting based on fully diluted post-IPO paid-up capital and annualised FY 2024 profits.
“Given its healthy regional presence in Eastern India and strategically situated hospitals offering a comprehensive array of medical specialties, GPT Healthcare is positioned to seize opportunities in underserved healthcare markets and strategically growing in the adjacent markets with asset-light business models like Ranchi.
Investors should also look at IPO offers which come with 100% OFS issue which is an area of concern for new investors. Hence, considering all parameters we recommend investors to “SUBSCRIBE” with risk in this IPO for long term perspective only while conservative investors can wait and watch the space post listing,” said Rajan Shinde, Research Analyst at Mehta Equities Ltd.
