Should you subscribe to the Cafe Coffee Day IPO?

Fundamentally speaking, the issue is overpriced, simply because the company has been making losses in the last few years. The best comparison that one can do is with Jubilant Foodworks, which runs the "Dominos" Pizza brand.

But, even that comparison is illogical, because Jubilant Foodworks has been making profits in the last many years. Sometimes markets do not go by fundamentals and are ready to pay a premium, for solid track record and a great brand equity, which Cafe Coffee Day has.

So, price to earnings ratio, would be meaningless, as the past has shown a negative EPS. But, there is so much fancy for consumer-driven stocks with a solid brand, one would not be surprised, if there is listing gains. Jubilant Foodworks has given good returns and this is the best comparison that we could have.
