COMPARISON WITH LISTED INDUSTRYPEERS (AS ON 31ST MARCH 2023)
FINANCIALS (RESTATED CONSOLIDATED)
OUTLOOK & VALUATION
Signature Global is the largest real estate player in Delhi, NCR, operating in affordable and lower-mid-segment housing. It is a well-known brand with a strong distribution network. The company also has large projects on hand.
But it has been a loss-making business for the last few years. Secondly, its major business is focused on a limited region. Changing government policies may also impact its business adversely.
As it has been at a loss, we cannot define its P/E valuation; however, its discounted revenue multiple is 3.48x, which is lower than the industry average. However, due to its current financial condition and other risk factors, we will avoid this IPO.
