Comparison With Peers:

As per RHP, Devyani International has shown Jubilant Foodworks, Westlife Development and Burger King as its listed peers. They are currently trading at a P/E of around 133.56, NA and NA. However, business of Jubilant which is into pure Pizza and MacD and Burger King are into pure burgers can't be compared fully with Brands like KFC and Pizza Hut.

Recommendation on Devyani International Limited IPO:

Review and Recommendation of Devyani International IPO from InvestorZone is 4/10 1. Devyani International has brand like KFC and Pizza Hut. However, the competition from Dominos in Pizza market is huge and has completely dominated the market from last few years. For KFC, the management says they don't have any competition but unorganised market which is serving chicken is huge and have big competition. 2. The Balance Sheet looks weak for Devyani International. In 2019,  Auditor mentioned that the Group and its Joint Venture’s current liabilities exceed its current assets as of March 31, 2019. These conditions indicate the existence of material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about the Group and its Joint Venture’s ability to continue as a going concern. Plus their net-worth was completely eroded in 2019. 3. Valuation looks stretched as compared to Burger King or Jubilant Food considering their growth. Burger King currently trading at Mcap/Sales of 8.2x, Jubilant Foods at 12.5x and Devyani is asking 8x...Nothing much left on table for investors. 4. However, having said that, the market is in bull run and these IPO can be played for listing gain.
