Oyo’s holding company PRISM has taken the next step toward going public, filing a confidential draft IPO that could value the business at $7‑8 billion.
IPO plan and expected valuation
The draft filing seeks to raise up to Rs 6,650 crore through a fresh issue of equity shares, subject to regulator approval and market conditions. If the offering goes ahead, analysts expect the company to be valued between $7 billion and $8 billion.
Shareholder approval and recent bonus issues
Shareholders gave the green light at an Extraordinary General Meeting on December 20. In the months leading up to the filing, Oyo issued two bonus share programs:
- September 2025: a 1:1 bonus (one extra share for every share held).
- December 2025: a 1:19 bonus (one extra share for every 19 held).
Financial performance highlights
Oyo posted a profit after tax of over Rs 200 crore in the first quarter of the current fiscal year, up from Rs 87 crore in the same quarter last year. The jump reflects better occupancy, cost controls, and earnings from the G6 Hospitality acquisition.
Ratings and earnings outlook
Moody’s reaffirmed PRISM’s B2 corporate family rating with a stable outlook. The agency projects EBITDA to more than double to about $280 million (≈Rs 2,496 crore) in FY 2026, driven by:
- Revenue from the G6 Hospitality deal.
- Expansion of premium storefronts.
- Continued cost‑optimization initiatives.
Regulatory filing process
The confidential pre‑filing route lets PRISM discuss disclosures with SEBI before making public documents. This approach offers flexibility on timing and can reduce market scrutiny during the review stage.
What this means for retail investors
Should the IPO launch, retail investors could participate in a high‑growth hospitality platform at a valuation that reflects recent profit improvements. However, the final price, allocation size, and market sentiment will shape the actual investment opportunity.
