Brokerage Views: Is It Worth Subscribing to the Crizac IPO?
SBI Securities has issued a ‘subscribe’ rating, citing Crizac’s established presence in international education consultancy and its strategic move to enter the US market. The firm has diversified its offerings geographically and is eyeing expansion into B2C ancillary services, which could boost both revenue and margins. Crizac’s financials reflect strong growth, with a two-year CAGR of 76% in revenue, 43% in EBITDA, and 18% in PAT.
