Recommendation on Krsnaa Diagnostics Limited IPO:

Review and Recommendation of Krsnaa Diagnostic IPO from InvestorZone is 3/10 1. The company is continuously in loss in the last 3 years. They have an exceptional gain of 252 Crores in FY21 due to which the company has shown 184 Crores of profit else there is hardly any profit. 2. They have close to 45 Crores of Profit after excluding the one time gain, and with outstanding shares of 3.1 Crores, the EPS would be 15. 3. P/E on Issue price of 954 would be ~64x. This looks very high. 4. Asking MCAP of ~3000 Crores while Dr.Lal and Metropolis are trading at Mcap of 30000 Crores and 14000 Crores respectively. However, comparison is difficult, as Dr.Lal and Metropolis are well established brand with profitable business. 5. This IPO looks very risky. Balance sheet is very weak. In 2019, their Net-worth was completely eroded.
