Outlook & Valuation
Nykaa redefined the art of e-retailing beauty and personal care in India. Nykaa's revenue for FY 2021 was at Rs 2,452 crore VS Rs 1,777 cr while profit for the year in the FY 2021 was Rs 61.9 cr, as compared to a restated loss of Rs 16.3 cr for 2020.
Q1FY22 financials also looked better than previous years, but need to see how it grows further. The beauty and personal care market have a large market opportunity especially in India where millennials are more into buying brands and look for easy buying options such as e-commerce.
At the upper price band of Rs 1125, the PE works out to be 839x and the price to sales comes at 21.6x to its FY21 earnings. The valuation of the IPO is pretty high however eyeing the higher valuations of other unicorns we may expect some listing gain.
Thus, we assign a “SUBSCRIBE” rating to the IPO only for listing gains.
