Manipal Hospitals, a leading healthcare provider in Karnataka, has cut its initial public offering (IPO) valuation by almost 70% after earlier estimates quoted a range between $10 and $12 billion.
The decision follows a slowdown in global markets and a tightening of liquidity conditions, prompting the group to reassess the demand for its shares. Analysts suggest that the revised valuation of $3.5-4 billion aligns better with current market sentiment and provides a more realistic entry point for investors.
Shareholders expect the listing to be priced at the revised range, potentially enhancing subscription interest. The revised valuation is expected to draw a wider pool of retail and institutional investors, bolstering the company’s funding prospects for expansion plans. Source: Google News – Manipal.
