Another View: MakeMyTrip Looks Expensive On Sales
The fair value narrative points to MakeMyTrip trading at a discount to $70.73. Yet on simple sales metrics the stock looks stretched. The current P/S of 5.5x sits well above the US Hospitality average of 1.7x, the peer average of 2.9x, and the fair ratio of 3.1x that the market could move towards. For investors, that gap means less room for error if growth or margins fall short. The key question is: how much premium are you really willing to pay for this story?
