• Anand Rathi: At the upper price band company is valuing at P/S of 4.7x with EV/EBITDA of 14.6x and a market cap of Rs 49,771 million post issue of equity shares. The brokerage firm believes that the IPO is fully priced and recommends a “Subscribe-Long term” rating to the IPO.
• Bajaj Broking: At the upper end of the IPO price band, the company is valued at 4x, 5x, and 7x its FY25, FY24, and FY23 sales, respectively—largely in line with its listed peer, Awfis Space, which trades at 4x, 5x, and 8x sales for the same periods. With this, they have a ‘Subscribe for long term’ rating on the IPO.
  
  
• Lemonn Markets Desk: While IndiQube is loss-making, it is operating in a high-growth, underpenetrated sector with strong operational metrics and scalable tech-driven business. Its dominant presence in India’s most active office markets, efficient capital model, and VAS ecosystem position it well to capitalize on the office space revival and GCC expansion. However, due to rich valuations and continued losses, the IPO is better suited for investors with a long-term horizon and moderate risk appetite.

The brokerage firm has a ‘Subscribe for long term’ rating for the issue.
