  1. This company’s financial statement is much better than BRNL. Matrimony.com IPO will be better choice than other running IPO’s.

  2. P/E ratio is close to 100. Jeevansathi.com, shaadi.com and many more such as simplymarry.com are giving tough competition. Many start-up are on the way. Revenue does not seem to be appreciating strongly enough to justify the price.. Suddenly in the IPO year company becomes profitable. See how Justdail.com share price performed recently. Decide yourself SIS was high priced at P/E ratio of 60, how about 100.

  3. IIFL says matrimony.com has FV 10.
    “The equity shares will have a face value of Rs 10 per share.”

    • Abhishek Aggarwal gave you the solution if not getting allotment is your problem. Well if you are saying you aren’t getting allotment in IPOs that are giving great listing gains, then that’s only because of the oversubscription and a bit of luck factor not working. Keep applying. B+.
