Zomato stock at all time high again 🚀

This may sound like a dumb question, but why do these companies fire just before the IPO? isn't an IPO a good thing? More cashflow. Shouldn't they be taking care of their employees who made it reach there? What exactly is the thought process behind this mass layoff before IPO?

😮‍💨😔

Zomato delivered another great set of results. Now they are adding 250Cr cash every quarter. The company hit two benchmarks this quarter according to my calculations, 50,000 Cr worth of orders (4x Q3) and 100 Cr orders (4x Q3), and these are growing 25-30% year on year. Why is this interesting? As some of you might know, they have started adding platform fees to the orders. Even one more rupee of platform fee will add 100 Cr to EBITDA. So, if they increase fees from 5 to 10, that's 500 Cr more EBITDA every year. Now, If you look at this quarter's results vs last quarter's results, they have added ~3600 Cr of order value, and made 380 Cr of EBITDA (this does not include Events). Which means they are making 10% as EBITDA. In next 3 years, if Zomato doubles their order value to 1,00,000 Cr, and even make 8% EBITDA, this could mean 8000 Cr EBITDA (almost 1 billion dollars). What markets will give as multiple on this, is guess work. Could be 25-40x (Don't hold me on this). Hence the stock looks undervalued from a 3 year lens

people are wayyy tooo emotional about these things that companies know very well how to take advantage of it now. companies have been doing it since ages, only the way to do it has changed. almost everything around you is the result of someone doing some kind of marketing and playing with your emotions Why do people keep falling for this ? and that too zomato which is notoriously famous for it marketing tactics.

All Zomato employees including me and 3 more close friends dumped all our shares we got and bought after recent price hike.

Food tech market is 50B+ ( duopoly) Most of my friends use swiggy for everything like food, groceries and dine out. They say Zomato sucks in ui ux and 3rd grade restaurants are there at Zomato, swiggy is better at offers and quality restaurants. Zomato peak stock value was 180inr, which makes it a 15B firm, by that logic swiggy can get even 20B ipo. PS - Baron capital already raised swiggy valuation to 13.9B usd What do u think guys?

was looking at the financials of Zomato. It's profit roce etc has been negative consistently still the stock price has been increasing throughout the last year. Have recently started fundamental analysis of stocks and so just Trying to make some sense of it. Can anyone explain in such a scenario what other factors should we look into ?? I see there's about 50%+ holdings in it by FII. What do they look for before investing heavily in such a company ??
