Nykaa IPO Review : Is Nykaa IPO good or bad?
Nykaa has 80 brick & mortar stores across Nykaa Luxe, Nykaa On-Trend, and kiosks in 40 Indian cities. Besides, it operates online via Nykaa and Nykaa Fashion. Thus, its presence is good in both online and offline space.
Nykaa does not have any competitor listed on the stock exchange till now which gives it a great edge. Moreover, it recently acquired Dot & Key which is a skincare brand. This shows its expansion focus.
As of March 2021, Nykaa had 12.6M followers on its social media platforms which is a huge number. Moreover, during FY 2019-21, it had 57% CAGR in GMV and 48% CAGR in revenue with 6.61% EBITDA margin.
Even after the Nykaa IPO, Falguni Nayar and family will continue to hold a major stake in the company. This tells us about the passion and trust in the venture and the urge to keep going. Nykaa has 3.1M SKUs from 4078 national and international brands which tells us about its huge inventory and brand reach.
Another upside is that Nykaa’s mobile apps have around 44M downloads and 87% of its online GMV is via these Nykaa apps. The company plans to come up with new retail outlets and warehouses via the Nykaa IPO earnings. However, the only downside is that it will use the earnings for its debt repayments.
This all tells us that the Nykaa IPO is worth a subscription. Moreover, its strong financials, company background, high GMP, and future prospects add to it. However, its price is above Rs 1000 per share which might raise questions for middle class investors.
