Valuation & key ratios
Ratios are for the latest full financial year reported in the Latent View Analytics RHP. EPS and P/E are post-issue — the table below carries the pre-issue comparison.
Latent View Analytics IPO Valuation
How the issue prices the company before and after the fresh shares are created.
| Valuation Metric | Pre-Issue | Post-Issue |
|---|---|---|
| EPS (₹) | ₹5.26 | ₹4.51 |
| P/E Ratio (x) | 37.45 | 43.68 |
| Market Cap at Offer Price (₹ Cr) | ₹835.56 | ₹974.52 |
Pre-issue figures use the shareholding reported in the RHP; post-issue figures use the shareholding once the fresh issue has created new shares. The two differ because of that dilution and because post-issue earnings per share are often annualised, so the change can run in either direction. Market capitalisation is calculated at the ₹197 offer price. Compare the post-issue P/E against listed peers before deciding — a premium there is growth you are paying for in advance.
Where the money goes
₹440.94 Cr of the issue is earmarked to named objects.
