Domestic brokerage firm Swastika Investmart has avoid rating on the IPO. Swastika has raised concerns about the IPO as it is a complete OFS for Rs 309.38 crore so the company would not get any money.
Swastika added that it is a loss making company and has been incurring losses in the last three years. However, it turned into profits for quarter ending June 22.
While assigning the avoid rating for the IPO Swastika said that Tracxn Technologies faces stiff competition from private players such as Crunchbase, CBInsights, PrivCo & Pitchbook.
“The company has witnessed strong growth in its top line in the previous three years due to the technology & startup boom during the pandemic and robust M&A activities. Nevertheless, the company faces significant competition from private players such as Crunchbase, CBInsights, PrivCo & Pitchbook, and free online and offline sources of information on companies & businesses, including government records, company websites, and open online databases,” Swastika said in a report.
“Due to the rising interest rates globally and recessionary conditions in major markets like North America and Europe the Private Equity Markets, Venture Capital markets, Investment Banks, and Family offices are witnessing a significant cutback in terms of activities and traction; additionally, M&A activities have been subdued. Thus we believe that the company will find it difficult to substantially grow its client base and top line in the coming years. Finally, the exorbitant valuation of price to sales of 12.5 times (Based on FY 22 numbers and Upper band price) makes it very difficult to recommend this issue. Thus we have assigned Avoid Rating for this issue,” Swastika added.
Brokerage firm Religare has neutral rating on the stock. "The Company has a diverse base of 1,139
