While brokerage Capital Market remained ‘neutral’ on the issue, Marwadi Shares recommended to ‘subscribe’ and Choice Broking suggested to ‘subscribe with caution’. However, Religare Broking recommended investors to ‘subscribe with a long term view’.

“At the higher price band of Rs 274, the company is demanding a TTM P/E multiple of 49.2x, which seems to be at premium considering the small business size. Thus, we assign a ‘subscribe with caution’ rating for the issue,” Choice Broking said in a note.

“Though the company’s long-term prospects look good with a strong business model, we believe the current valuation captures all positives and leaves hardly any meaningful upside for investors with stretched valuation,” Reliance Securities pointed out.

Proceeds from the fresh issue will be used for working capital requirements, and expansion of production capacity at the existing manufacturing facility in Raigad, Maharashtra, and at an additional unit on the adjacent plot.

The company will also expand its existing installed capacities, and add new products to the existing portfolio through fresh issue money.

HP Adhesives clocked a profit of Rs 10.06 crore in FY21 against a loss of Rs 4.67 crore a year back, but its revenue increased to Rs 118.16 crore from Rs 95.47 crore in the same period.
