When was the last time you saw a loss making company coming up with an IPO?
The case in point being 'Burger King', a consistently loss making company whose IPO opens today.
Let us find out the criterias a company needs to fulfill to bring up an IPO. #burgerkingipo#BurgerKing
A company must have an average operating consolidated profit of atleast 15 crores during the preceding 3 years with operating profits in each of these 3 years.
This is as per section 6(1) of SEBI (ICDR) Regulations, 2018.
However, companies clocking losses or those who do not fulfill the eligibility requirements, can still bring an IPO of they allot alteast 75% shares to QIB.
The rationale behind this is safety of retail investors. This is why we are seeing such low retail quota in case of Burger King IPO.
Burger king's revenue grew from ₹234 crores to ₹846 crores from 2017 to 2020. That's a great growth but the expense too multiplied in the same period. That's why the loss!
Burger king's royalty expense is 4-5% compared to Jubiliant Foodwork's 3-4%.
Also, its raw material cost is 36% of sales and Jubiliant's raw material cost is only 25% of sales.
It seems it will take time for Burger King to turn the corner.
Retail investors looking at GMP before subscribing must then strictly define their investment time frame.

Have you ever heard of a listed company whose market price per share is Rs.13 and fair value per share is above Rs.1 lakh?
In this thread I am going to discuss about the curious case of Elcid Investments Limited.
1. Elcid Investments Limited’s last traded share price was Rs.13.38 on 20th October 2020 and it has not been traded ever since. That makes one thing clear; this is an extremely illiquid counter.
2. But, before you write off this nano cap company (market cap of only Rs.27 lakh) as a penny stock, let me tell you an interesting fact. It is the holding company of Mr. Arvind Vakil and his family, one of the founders of @asianpaints .
1. This one image aptly describes the way people observe the success of ‘Reliance Jio'.
But, let us delve deep and understand the factors that led to the success of ‘Reliance Jio' rather than just focusing on the tip of the iceberg.
2. Many of us might just remember ‘Reliance Jio' for the way it was launched commercially in 2016. Well, there is a solid reason as to why one can not forget the commercial launching of ‘Reliance Jio'.
1. DHFL owes a lot of money to banks, NHB (National Housing Board), bondholders and mutual funds. And it does not have enough money to pay them back.
2. So, to cut the long story short, DHFL’s going concern is questioned. For starters, going concern is an accounting principle which means that a company can continue its business for a foreseeable future.
‘Isaac Newton’ and ‘Albert Einstein’ are undoubtedly two of the most genius people the world ever witnessed, but they were lousy investors.
A small anecdote from Benjamin Graham’s classic book, ‘The Intelligent Investor’, sums up the fact that you do not have to be a genius to make fortune in stock market.
How many times has it happened to you as a retail investor that you applied for an IPO but couldn't get an allotment?
Quite often, right?
But that is not the case with HNIs.
For the uninitiated, HNIs are High Networth Investors, who invest more than ₹2 lakh in an IPO.
Retail investors on the other hand invest less than ₹2 lakh.
