Jinkushal Industries IPO: Should you subscribe?
Anand Rathi has advised investors to subscribe to the issue for the long term. "At the upper price band, the company is valuing at P/E of 30.1x to its FY25 earnings, with EV/EBITDA of 22.0x and market cap of Rs 4,644 million post issue of equity shares. We believe that the IPO is fully priced," it said.
Explaining the financials of the company, Harshal Dasani, Business Head at INVAsset PMS, said "Financially, the company reported FY24 revenue of Rs 2,385.9 crore with EBITDA of Rs 275.7 crore. For FY25 (restated), revenue rose to Rs 3,805.6 crore while EBITDA stood at Rs 286.0 crore, translating into an operating margin of ~7.5%. Net profit lifted post-bonus EPS to Rs 6.15. Return on net worth was strong at 21.2% in FY25, supported by low leverage with debt-to-equity at ~0.01. Nearly 99% of revenues were generated outside India, reflecting its export-driven model. At the upper price band, the implied market cap is ~Rs 464 crore, valuing the company at ~19.7x FY25 earnings and 0.12x FY25 sales."
"Strengths include an asset-light model, extensive international sourcing and distribution network, healthy return ratios, and negligible debt. However, risks include thin margins typical of trading businesses, concentration of revenue from exports, and sensitivity to forex, logistics, and inventory cycles," he added.
"Valuations appear fair on earnings and undemanding on sales. Near-term listing gains will depend on investor appetite for trading-led businesses, but over the long term, sustained margin improvement, efficient inventory management, and continued global demand for used equipment will determine its re-rating potential," Dasani explained.
