- While the company has shown growth in profit, it is important to flag other key financial indicators, such as Revenue from Operations and Return on Net Worth, which saw a declining trend in FY22. Meanwhile, the company's debt has been on an upward trend.
- From a valuation point of view, the IPO appears to be aggressively priced at a PE multiple of 32x based on FY23 earnings.
- The grey market premium (GMP) for the issue, often used as a gauge for investor sentiment, also indicates a flat listing.
- Overall, we don't anticipate substantial gains due to the average fundamentals of the company. Its financial track record is not convincing enough for long-term investment. Hence, we recommend assessing the company's performance over the next couple of quarters before making any investment commitments
