Burger King IPO: Should You Hit or Miss? 

Will Burger King IPO 2020 be able to entice investors? We will see. But if you’re planning to subscribe, we suggest you weigh all the risk-reward aspects carefully. The company has mentioned in its red herring prospectus that COVID-19 has made a dent in its business.  Since March, its sales have reduced significantly to Rs 134.6 crores compared to the pre-COVID sales volume of Rs 419.3 crores during the past six months ending in September 2020.  

The company is continuously making losses for the last three years. Since 2018, it has suffered Rs 82.23 crores, Rs 38.27 crores, and  Rs 76.57 crores in losses in 2018, 2019, and 2020 respectively, possible reasons behind a growing concern over food-related health issues, an outbreak of an epidemic, and negative-food related incidents.  

Conclusion 

The company had an initial plan to launch IPO in March but deferred their plan amid COVID condition. Finally, Burger King IPOs will launch in December when the market is turning around for initial public offerings. In 2020, thirteen companies have launched IPOs, and few more are gearing up for now. In the coming days, we will see more popular brands to make a stock market debut. 

Burger King has informed that it is mainly looking at expanding its footprint in India by opening more outlets and creating more employment. The company has a plan to have 700 restaurants by the end of December 2026, generating 8,640- 10, 800 new jobs through expansion. 

Burger King has a strong presence in north India, followed by west, south, and eastern parts. It is looking to add more depth to solidify its presence in all parts of the country.
