Review By Dilip Davda on June 20, 2024

•    The company is trading with third party supply chain for pipes, coils, sheets of various metals and sizes.
•    Its business depends on third party support, which carries high risk.
•    Its financial data shows high volume with low margins.
•    It posted average earnings for the reported periods.
•    Based on FY24 annualized earnings, the issue appears aggressively priced.
•    There is no harm in skipping this high risk pricey issue.

ISSUE DETAILS/CAPITAL HISTORY:
The company is coming out with its maiden IPO of 3732000 equity shares of Rs. 10 each at a fixed price of Rs. 43 per share to mobilize Rs. 16.05 cr. The issue opens for subscription on June 24, 2024, and will close on June 26, 2024. The minimum application to be made is for 3000 shares and in multiples thereon, thereafter. Post allotment, shares will be listed on NSE SME Emerge. The issue constitutes 27.02% of the post-IPO paid-up capital of the company. The company is spending Rs. 1.61 cr. for this IPO process, and from the net proceeds, it will utilize Rs. 7.22 cr. for capex on new manufacturing facility, Rs. 7.00 cr. for working capital, and Rs. 0.22 cr. for general corporate purposes. 

The issue is solely lead managed by Shreni Shares Ltd., and Link Intime India Pvt. Ltd. is the registrar to the issue. Shreni Shares Ltd. is also the market maker for the company. 

Having issued initial equity shares at par value, the company issued further equity shares at a fixed price of Rs.11.09 in January 2021. It has also issued bonus shares in the ratio of 11 for 25 in March 2024. The average cost of acquisition of shares by the promoters is Rs. 7.29, and Rs. 7.46 per share. 

Post-IPO, company's current paid-up equity capital of Rs. 10.08 cr. will stand enhanced to Rs. 13.81 cr. Based on the upper IPO price band, the company is looking for a market cap of Rs. 59.39cr.  

FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE:
On the financial performance front, for the last three fiscals, the company has posted a total income/net profit of Rs. 136.36 cr. / Rs. 0.34 cr. (FY21), Rs. 324.07 cr. / Rs. 0.95 cr.

If we attribute annualized FY24 earnings to its post-IPO fully diluted paid-up capital, then the asking price is at a P/E of 43.87. Thus the issue appears aggressively priced. 

For the reported periods, the company has posted PAT margins of 0.25% (FY21), 0.29% (FY22), 0.30% (FY23), 0.49% (9M-FY24), and RoCE margins of 11.62%, 13.24%, 11.43%, 8.02% respectively for the referred periods.

The company has not declared any dividends since incorporation. It will adopt a prudent dividend policy based on its financial performance and future prospects.
