Amagi Media Labs IPO Review
BP Equities mentioned that at the upper price point of Rs. 361, Amagi Media Labs Ltd. has a valuation based on a P/S multiple of 0.3x relative to FY25 sales. Considering the company’s scalable business model and the potential for industry growth, we think this valuation is warranted. Therefore, the brokerage advises a “SUBSCRIBE” rating for this offering with a medium to long-term investment outlook.
SBICAP Securities highlighted that the IPO of Amagi Media Labs appears on track to become profitable by the end of the fiscal year FY26, according to the financial results from the first half of FY26. However, the global Media & Entertainment sector is currently undergoing significant consolidation, especially in Amagi Media Labs’ primary market of North America, which could impact the company’s pricing power.
The brokerage mentioned that at the maximum price of ₹361, the IPO is assessed at 6.7 times the FY25 price-to-sales ratio after accounting for the capital from the issue. They have assigned a NEUTRAL rating to the offering and plan to observe the company’s performance for several quarters after its listing.
