Swastika Investmart
Rating: Avoid
Turtlemint remains a loss-making company with a negative return on net worth, indicating the absence of a profitability cushion. Its valuation also appears expensive at 6.8 times FY25 revenue despite continued losses. The business remains highly dependent on regulatory developments, while its revenue trajectory has been volatile, with FY24 witnessing an 81 per cent year-on-year decline, making future growth difficult to project with confidence, said Swastika Investmart.

"Digital Partner costs account for nearly 70-77 per cent of total expenses, meaning profitability is heavily reliant on achieving scale in the future rather than on current fundamentals. As a result, the company may be suitable only for long-term, high-risk investors who are betting on its potential market leadership, and may not be ideal for investors seeking short-term gains or listing returns," it added with an 'avoid' rating.

DR Choksey Finserv
Rating: Subscribe for listing gains
Turtlemint is loss-making at every reported P&L level hence price/revenue is the operative metric. The offer is priced at 6.4 times FY25 proforma revenue, The only listed Indian comparable, PB Fintech, trades at 15.3 times FY25 trailing price/revenue at a market cap of Rs 76,076 crore profitable, 7 times larger, and carrying a richer product mix, said DR Choksey Finserv.

"The discount is build-out support near-term demand at listing. The long-term case requires two consecutive quarters of declining partner acquisition cost ratios and cross-sell revenue meaningfully above the current 1-2 per cent of consolidated revenue before the FY28E profitability assumptions become defensible," it added with 'subscribe for listing gains' view.
 

BP Equities
Rating: Avoid
"Given the absence of sustained profitability, continued dependence on the insurance distribution business and execution risks associated with the ongoing business transition, we believe the current risk-reward remains unfavourable. Accordingly, we assign an 'avoid' rating to the issue," said BP Equities.

SMIFS
Rating: Subscribe
"We recommend subscribing to the issue as a good long-term investment, driven by PoSP network expansion, rising insurance penetration, improving advisor productivity, financial product cross-selling, AI-led scalability, deeper insurer partnerships and regulatory growth opportunities," said SMIFS with a 'subscribe' tag.

Ventura Securities
Rating: Subscribe
"Strengths include a large and expanding PoSP network with deep Tier-II/III/IV penetration, a phygital model suited to India's advisor-led insurance buying behavior, strong insurer integrations covering the majority of India's insurance market, a diversified multi-product technology stack with high switching costs, and visible revenue inflection with 9MFY26 revenues already exceeding full FY25," said Ventura with a 'subscribe' rating.

Equivision 
Rating: Neutral
Turtlemint has reported substantial losses over multiple years and has yet to achieve sustainable profitability. Continued losses may put pressure on cash flows and increase reliance on external funding to support operations and growth. It operates in a competitive insurance distribution market and depends on customer acquisition, agent productivity, and insurance penetration for growth, said Equivision.

"Continued investments in technology, marketing, and distribution may be required, while slower premium growth, regulatory changes, or challenges in retaining agents and customers could impact revenue growth and profitability. The proposed use of funds for unidentified acquisitions and strategic initiatives provides limited clarity on future returns," it added with a 'neutral' rating. 

Sushil Finance
Rating: Subscribe with caution
Turtlemint is a high-conviction long-term story for investors who believe in India's insurance penetration growth and the PoSP-led phygital model. The moat is real, the market is large, and the platform is maturing, said Sushil Finance in its IPO note.

"However, this is unambiguously a pre-profitability, highgrowth, venture-style bet — not a value or earnings play. Investors must be comfortable with a multi-year path to profitability, a complex consolidated history, and meaningful competition. Buy with conviction on the model; size with caution on current losses," it added.
