Highlighting the fundamentals in regard to ASG Transact Technologies IPO; Abhay Doshi, Founder at UnlistedArena.com said, “AGS Transact Technologies is an omni-channel payment solutions provider having diversified portfolio in payment and automation solutions. The pandemic has impacted the business due to slowdown in economic activities resulting in lack of growth in top as well as bottom line of the company. The issue is priced at a PE multiple of 38 based on FY21 earnings and has incurred a loss of around ₹18 crores in 5MFY22. Owing to these factors, the IPO may get a moderate response. However, the revenues from digital solutions will be a key thing to watch for going ahead.”
