The remaining ₹50 crore will be used towards general corporate purposes, including bed capacity enhancement. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Here’s what analysts are saying" comment="subhead" text="Here’s what analysts are saying">Here’s what analysts are saying</cmsannotation> Analysts at Angel Broking recommend subscribing to the KIMS IPO, stating that the company’s expansion plans can be funded through its cash reserves. “The company has one of the best return on equity and return on capital employed ratios of 23.8% and 24.8% respectively. It has a very healthy balance sheet with negative Net Debt/Equity. We believe that the upcoming expansion plan in Bangalore and Chennai can be funded through internal accruals and minimum amount of debt,” Angel Broking said. Analysts at Ventura Securities are bullish about the growth prospects of KIMS, highlighting the presence of the company in Tier I, II and III markets across south India, affordable healthcare, comprehensive infrastructure, and strong brand equity. Stating that they believe there is a potential upside of 55% from the issue price of ₹825, Venture Securities give a thumbs up to KIMS IPO. “We value the stock at ₹1,275. This represents a potential upside of 55% from the IPO price of ₹825 per share (upper band) over the next 24 months,” the research firm said. On the other hand, while the analysts at Choice Broking recommend subscribing to KIMS IPO, they state that the valuation is expensive when compared to the industry average. “We view sustaining margin at these levels (way above industry trend) would remain a challenging task. Further, business is skewed towards a particular region, that is, Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, which may restrict KIMS to leverage growth opportunities,” the brokerage said. <table style="border-width: initial; border-style: none;"></colgroup><tbody><tr><td style="border-left:solid #000000 0.6260872500000001pt;border-right:solid #000000 0.6260872500000001pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 0.9978225000000001pt;border-top:solid #000000 0.6260872500000001pt;vertical-align:top;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">Brokerage/analyst </td><td style="border-left:solid #000000 0.6260872500000001pt;border-right:solid #000000 0.6260872500000001pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 0.9978225000000001pt;border-top:solid #000000 0.6260872500000001pt;vertical-align:top;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">Recommendation </td></tr><tr><td style="border-left:solid #000000 0.6260872500000001pt;border-right:solid #000000 0.6260872500000001pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 0.6260872500000001pt;border-top:solid #000000 0.9978225000000001pt;vertical-align:top;background-color:#d9d9d9;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">Angel Broking </td><td style="border-left:solid #000000 0.6260872500000001pt;border-right:solid #000000 0.6260872500000001pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 0.6260872500000001pt;border-top:solid #000000 0.9978225000000001pt;vertical-align:top;background-color:#d9d9d9;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">Subscribe </td></tr><tr><td style="border-left:solid #000000 0.6260872500000001pt;border-right:solid #000000 0.6260872500000001pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 0.6260872500000001pt;border-top:solid #000000 0.6260872500000001pt;vertical-align:top;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">Ventura Securities </td><td style="border-left:solid #000000 0.6260872500000001pt;border-right:solid #000000 0.6260872500000001pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 0.6260872500000001pt;border-top:solid #000000 0.6260872500000001pt;vertical-align:top;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">Subscribe </td></tr><tr><td style="border-left:solid #000000 0.6260872500000001pt;border-right:solid #000000 0.6260872500000001pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 0.6260872500000001pt;border-top:solid #000000 0.6260872500000001pt;vertical-align:top;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">Choice Broking </td><td style="border-left:solid #000000 0.6260872500000001pt;border-right:solid #000000 0.6260872500000001pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 0.6260872500000001pt;border-top:solid #000000 0.6260872500000001pt;vertical-align:top;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">Subscribe with caution </td></tr><tr><td style="border-left:solid #000000 0.6260872500000001pt;border-right:solid #000000 0.6260872500000001pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 0.6260872500000001pt;border-top:solid #000000 0.6260872500000001pt;vertical-align:top;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">Dilip Davda </td><td style="border-left:solid #000000 0.6260872500000001pt;border-right:solid #000000 0.6260872500000001pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 0.6260872500000001pt;border-top:solid #000000 0.6260872500000001pt;vertical-align:top;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">Subscribe for long term </td></tr></tbody></table> <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Understanding the business of KIMS" comment="subhead" text="Understanding the business of KIMS">Understanding the business of KIMS</cmsannotation> KIMS, also known as Krishna Institute of Medical Sciences, is a Hyderabad-based chain of multi-specialty hospitals offering a broad spectrum of healthcare facilities.

When compared to February 2020, its inpatient volumes fell by more than half in April 2020. It also notes that some patients were reluctant to visit hospitals due to a perceived notion of increased risk of infection. Heightened risk of its doctors, nurses and other healthcare workers, and a resulting increase in costs to ensure their safety also remains another area of concern for the company.

The end-of-support timeline puts the Windows 10 lifecycle at a hair over 10 years, similar to previous iterations of the OS. Microsoft recently cancelled Windows 10X, which was initially going to be for dual-screen devices. It said it would bring some features planned for that OS into the standard version of Windows.
