Go Airlines IPO Analysis & Review:

Go Airlines is no doubt getting the advantage of high-volume passenger growth due to ultra-low-cost carriers in the industry. Despite intense competition, its market share increased significantly and is likely to further grow, which will help in improving the topline and bottom-line growth of the company.

While on the other hand, being a loss-making company, it seems very difficult for the company to generate high cash flow from internal operations. Losses will lead to borrowing that burdens the interest cost to the company, affecting the operational cost and eventually the bottom line margins of the company.

However, if the IPO price is fairly valued compared to its peer members, and issued at a discounted price, it can be considered to invest with a long-term perspective. As Go Airlines is merely a 3.7-year-old company and with the time being, the passenger volume will grow which can generate high revenue. High revenue growth and improved operational cost will help to improve the profit margins, than can help this company become profitable with a significant market share in the aviation sector.
