Growth Story: Company was able to increase its sales from 74 Cr during the year 2004 while during the IPO in 2010 they reached 424 Cr sales and 33 Cr of Profits from 300 restaurants. We have been recommending this company since IPO. Adjusting the split and bonus the Company got listed during IPO at Rs 16. We have seen strong growth since then as they reached the total number of restaurants at 2991 last year with sales reaching 5654 Cr and profits 400 Cr. This shows the growth of 20X in Restaurant opening and 30X in Sales. Hence if invested during the IPO today even valuations are 35X along with consistent dividends as the company never made the losses since listing even during the tough year of Covid followed by Inflation.
