How to Analyse an IPO Before You Apply
Most investors apply to an IPO after seeing the grey market premium or a social media post. The real information sits in the offer document the company files with SEBI. It runs to hundreds of pages, which is why few people read it. IPO Scan reads it for you and turns it into a score, a list of red flags and a comparison with listed companies in the same business.
DRHP vs RHP: which document matters
The DRHP (Draft Red Herring Prospectus) is the first version a company files with SEBI. It describes the business, financials, risks and the planned issue, but has no dates. The RHP (Red Herring Prospectus) is the updated version filed before the issue opens. It carries the issue dates and the latest financials. IPO Scan uses RHP figures once they are published and DRHP figures before that, as reported by the exchanges and financial news sites.
What the 8 categories check
- Financial health: revenue growth, operating cash flow, working capital and debt.
- Profitability: margins, return on equity and return on capital, and whether they are improving.
- Valuation vs peers: P/E, EV/EBITDA and price to book at the upper price band.
- Promoter and governance: promoter holding after the issue, pledged shares, related-party transactions and board independence.
- Issue structure: how much is fresh issue and how much is offer for sale (OFS) by existing shareholders.
- Use of proceeds: where the fresh money goes, and whether it repays promoter-linked loans.
- Legal and litigation: pending cases against the company, promoters and directors, compared with net worth.
- Risk disclosure: auditor remarks, customer or supplier concentration, and the key risk factors.
How to read the IPO Scan score
IPO Scan runs 33 fixed checks. Each is marked passed, caution, red flag or not found. Category scores combine into a score out of 100: 0–25 Weak, 26–50 Okay, 51–75 Good and 76–100 Strong. A higher score means fewer problems were found in public information about the issue. It does not predict listing gains, and it is not a reason to apply on its own.
