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.
