10] Five Star Business Finance IPO review: On whether one should buy this IPO or not, Abhay Doshi, Founder at UnlistedArena.com said, “Five Star Business Finance is a prominent NBFC based in southern India that enjoys unicorn status with the presence of marquee investors. Five Star provides secured business loans, and 95% of their loan disbursements are for loans between 1 and 10 lacs. The company had performed significantly well. NIMS for FY22 were 17.68%, while GNPA and NNPA remained very controlled. On the valuation front, the issue looks attractively priced based on the price at the upper band the asking P/BV is 3.58x (based on June, 22 book value). It is notable to watch that its unlisted shares were traded between Rs. 360 and Rs. 725 in the unlisted market.”

On outlook and valuations of Five Star Business Finance Ltd, Pravesh Gour, Senior Technical Analyst at Swastika Investmart said, “In recent years, NBFCs have had one of the highest shares of disbursements for small business loans among other lenders; one such NBFC is Five Star Business Finance Limited, which provides secured business loans to microentrepreneurs and self-employed individuals. The company has its headquarters in Chennai, Tamil Nadu, with a strong presence in south India. It has the fastest gross term loan growth among the compared peers and a continuous track record of financial growth with increasing revenue and profit. The issue is reasonably priced at a P/B valuation of 3.6 when compared with its peers. However, high competition and rising interest rates are big threats to this.”
