Travel Food Services IPO: Should You Buy?

Most brokerage firms have given a ‘subscribe for long-term’ rating to the Travel Food Services (TFS) IPO, citing the company’s strong positioning in airport-focused food services and its growth potential in India’s expanding aviation and travel ecosystem.

SBI Securities highlighted TFS as a “proxy to the Indian aviation growth story”, given its strong presence across major airport terminals and upcoming concessions at Greater Noida and Navi Mumbai airports. The brokerage noted that the company’s brand portfolio includes a healthy mix of in-house and third-party QSR brands.

“At the upper price band of Rs 1,100, the stock is likely to trade at 39.9x FY25 EPS, which is at a discount to listed QSR companies. TFS has superior margins and return ratios along with a strong balance sheet. We recommend investors to ‘subscribe’ to the issue at the cut-off price,” SBI Securities said.

Canara Bank Securities is positive on the company’s airport-centric model, citing its competitive moat created by global partnerships, strong brand equity, and high-traffic locations.

“From a valuation standpoint, the IPO is priced attractively, placed below the sector average and trades lower than the peer average in terms of price-to-book value (P/BV). Given its strong growth trajectory, first-mover advantage, and resilient business model in a niche, high-growth segment, we recommend a ‘subscribe’ rating for both listing gains and long-term investment,” the brokerage added.
