Krystal Integrated Services IPO Review – Key Players 

In terms of a peer-to-peer analysis, Krystal Integrated Services is the smallest listed peer in terms of revenue. Quess Corp and SIS Ltd are the leaders of the industry. However, the leaders of the industry do not have a return on Net Worth as high as that of Krystal at 24%. If the Company continues to scale its profits further, RoNW is expected to know even more. 

Nevertheless, at the higher end of the price band of Rs. 715 compared to a basic EPS of Rs. 33.33, the Company will be valued at a Price-to-Earning of 21.45x, which is a lot higher than the median PE of 15.16x of its peers.
