VLCC Health Care IPO Review & Analysis

Reviewing the VLCC IPO right now is not fair enough due to the unavailability of the issue price. How you will compare the stock price of VLCC Healthcare with other group members? However, with its current financial position and future growth prospects, we can analyse a few points that can help you know how the company is doing and whether is it worth investing in or not.

Analyzing the last three years' financial statement, the revenue growth of the company has gone down due to the worldwide COVID-19 impact. However, in the last year's company has shown amazing improvements in bottom-line growth, especially due to high-profit margins.

In FY 2019 and 2020 company incurred losses but in 2021 it has managed to earn profits that show the company is operating with better operating margins. With these kinds of improvements and with fundraising through IPO, VLCC will expand its operations and services which will add revenue growth and of course, also gain profits that will also lead to a higher return on equity.

However, still, there are many risk factors that can affect the company's business but if the IPO price is available at an attractive valuation you can apply to enjoy short-term listing gains or buy even from the secondary market with a long-term perspective.
