"We are optimistic on Burger King's growth story considering improving organised industry growth benefiting from reduced competition from unorganised restaurants due to COVID-related challenges and expansion of its outlets wherein Burger King is well-positioned to expand its footprint in India from 260+ to 700 stores by December 2026," Prashanth Tapse, AVP Research at Mehta Equities told Moneycontrol.

Hence, he believes investors should tap this opportunity and hold the stock for a multibagger story for 2-3 years.

Burger King India raised Rs 810 crore through public issue which was subscribed 156.65 times during the December 2-4 period. The company is going to utilise issue proceeds for debt repayment and expansion.

The quick service restaurant chain has 259 owned Burger King restaurants and nine sub-franchised Burger King restaurants as per the prospectus filed with the SEBI. Burger King has a target to increase its number of restaurants to 700 by the end of December 2026.

The company recorded a 49 percent CAGR growth in revenue and 258 percent in EBITDA during FY18-FY20, backed by strong store strength in the same period, though it reported losses at PAT level.​
