Recommendation on Tutorials Point India Limited IPO:

Review and Recommendation of InvestorZone is:  2/10 1. The Valuation is expensive in terms of P/E multiple of 17x. The company is asking for a valuation of 40 cr in the market at 10 cr of revenue which is very expensive. 2. The 94.18% business is coming from google ads only. Any policy change in google ads may hamper the profitability of the company. 3. No moat in the business and historically companies in the education sector never performed well in dalal street. 4. The sector in which the company is working highly competitive.

    (i) Total Shares after IPO = 1.065 Cr

    (ii) IPO Price = 64

    (iii) M.Cap = ~70 Cr

    (iv) Revenue = 10 Cr

    (v) PAT ( FY19) = 4.03 Cr

    (vi) P/E= 17

    (vii) Mcap/Sales = 7

    The Valuation are very expensive. The company has no growth in revenue in the last 3 years. The revenue for FY19 is just 10 cr and the company is asking valuation of 70 Cr which is quite high.

    Add to this

    – mostly Indian traffic where it is difficult to earn money

    – Byjus and topper are way ahead of this and burning huge money so difficult for tutorials point to scale up with this amount.
