Reasonable valuation, strong market presence

Narendra Solanki, Head of Fundamental Research - Investment Services at Anand Rathi Shares, said that the company’s valuation is reasonable. "At the upper price band, the company is valued at a price-to-earnings ratio of 16.6x, with a post-issue market capitalisation of Rs 5,979 million and a return on net worth of 27.4% based on FY24," he said.

"We find the valuation reasonable and recommend investors to hold Mamata Machinery stock for the long term, given its healthy financial outlook," Solanki added.

Prashanth Tapse, Senior Analyst at Mehta Equities, expects a robust debut for Mamata Machinery stock, forecasting potential gains of up to 100 percent over the IPO price. "We advise conservative investors to book profits if prices exceed our expectations. For long-term investors, however, the recommendation is to hold despite short-term market volatility. Non-allottees should consider buying on dips post-listing," he said.

Prathamesh Masdekar, Research Analyst at StoxBox, suggests holding the stock due to Mamata Machinery’s market presence. "Investors allotted shares should hold from a medium- to long-term perspective. The company’s strong international presence, with manufacturing facilities in India and the US, coupled with its innovative capabilities and focus on customisation, enhances its growth potential," he said.
