Yash Gupta - Equity Research Associate, Angel Broking said, "Nureca limited is a B2C company engaged in the business of home healthcare and wellness products. The company enables its customers with tools to help them monitor chronic ailments and other diseases, to improve their lifestyle. Nureca is a digital-first company wherein they sell their products through online channel partners such as e-commerce players, distributors and retailers. Further, they also sell their products through their own website drtrust.in. Nureca classifies their products portfolio under the 5 categories such as Chronic Device Products, Orthopedic Products, Mother and Child Products, Nutrition Supplements and Lifestyle Products. We have a positive outlook for the IPO."

Reliance Research called the IPO attractively priced in the note and said," NURECA operates in a highly fragmented market. Company's financials are quite encouraging. While its revenue recorded 122% CAGR over FY18-FY20, its net profit grew by 44% CAGR during the same period. More importantly, NURECA's EBITDA and PAT became almost 5.7x in 1HFY21 compared to FY20 performance. This is mostly led by operating leverage. Further, robust margins and comfortable leverage position (gearing ratio at ~25%) led to a robust return ratio for the company. Debtor cycle also improved from 47days in FY20 to merely 6 days in 1HFY21."

The brokerage added in its note, "Further, IPO is valued at 5.6x annualized earnings report in 1HFY21, which looks to be attractively valued given high asset turnover and return ratio of the company. As there is no listed peer available, benchmark valuation is difficult to ascertain. However, thin history, frequent policy changes by the government and substantial improvement in earnings before fundraising could raise some apprehensions. However, considering attractive valuations and sizeable opportunity, we recommend SUBSCRIBE to this issue."
