Sectorial outlook – The Indian digital payment space has seen extraordinary growth in the last few years. Retail digital payments forecast to grow at a 34% CAGR during financial year 2020 to financial year 2025 and this growth has been driven by multiple factors like launch of new payment products, increasing smartphone penetration, increasing mobile internet users driven by lower data charges and a strong push from the government in order to increase adoption of digital channels. Over the last decade, NPCI has launched various innovative products like UPI, National Electronic Toll Collection (NETC) and Bharat Bill Pay Service (BBPS), AePS and other retail payment and settlement systems to make it much more convenient to customers hence this is expected have positive impact on the company and its business.

The financials (revenue and net profit) are shown in graph below:

Valuation – For the last 3 years average EPS has been negative hence PE is not relevant. On the upper price band of Rs 577 and EPS of Rs 2.62 for FY21, the P/E ratio works out to be 220x. Its listed peers are AU Small Finance Bank Ltd (highest P/E), RBL Bank Ltd (lowest P/E). Since the company is asking P/E for 2021 is around 220x the listing seems to be very expensive.

Recommendation – Considering all the above factors, we recommend Investors to “AVOID” this IPO.
