Sagility India IPO review

Analysts are mixed on the IPO as the issue is completely an offer for sale (OFS) and valuations are on the higher side. Further, the current negative market sentiments may impact listing performance and subscription numbers.

"The company is exclusively focused on the US healthcare market. The US presidential election outcomes could affect its operations.
Valuation appears high, with no direct peers for comparison. Investors may consider skipping this IPO," said Swastika Investmart.

"The company’s deep, long-term, expanding client relationships across healthcare payers and providers assist in high client stickiness and retention. Investors interested in the company can invest in the IPO for the long term," said Master Capital Service.
