Outlook & Valuation:
In the last 3 years, the company has shown stable growth in revenue where it grew from Rs 87.97 cr to Rs 123.87 cr over the period of FY19 to FY21, during the same period profit has grown from Rs 4 cr in FY19 to Rs 10.05 cr in FY21, but the company faced a huge loss of Rs. (4.67) cr in FY20 on the back of exceptional item.
The industry is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6-8% while the company is in a growth phase and is expanding installed capacities for its product lines and is also expanding its portfolio.
The IPO is valued at a PE of 35x and P/BV of 28x to its FY21 earnings. However, if we annualized FY22 earnings PE and P/BV work out to be 81x and 10.38x which is in line with the peer. Due to its small size, the SME-IPO is going to be listed in the T2T segment.
We have an "AVOID" rating for the IPO.
