Recommendation on eMudhra Limited IPO:

Review and Recommendation of E-mudra Limited IPO by InvestorZone is 5/10 1. Revenue has increased from 100 Crores in FY19 to 180 Crores in FY22(E). So, revenue is almost doubled in the last 4 years. 2. Profit has increased from 17 Crores in FY19 to 40 Crores in FY22(E). This is excellent growth in the PAT. 3. E-Mudra was generating good cash from operations till 2021 but in the first 9MFY22, trade receivables has gone up 14 Crores in FY19 to 52 Crores in 9MFY22. This has caused reduction of conversion of EBITDA into cash. 4. The future looks good as many government projects are coming in Digital India initiative which will present excellent opportunity for E-mudra. 5. Asking P/E is ~48x which means nothing has left on the table.
