Geojit Financial Services issued a ‘Subscribe’ rating for the IPO. “At the upper price band of ₹82, SSTL is valued at a P/E ratio of 44.5x (FY25E annualised), which appears reasonably priced relative to its peers. SSTL is strategically positioned to capitalize on India’s infrastructure boom, driven by initiatives such as the Jal Jeevan Mission and Amrit Bharat scheme. As a backward-integrated player with consistent financial growth, efficient strategic sourcing, and ongoing expansion plans, the company is well-poised for long-term value creation,” Geojit said.
Choice Equity Broking also recommended investors to subscribe to the issue for long term, stating that the valuation seems to be fully priced compared to its peer average. “Backed by fully integrated operations and inhouse manufacturing capabilities, the company is well-positioned to capitalize on this sectoral growth. While there may be short-term pressure on margins, the company’s ongoing expansion and favorable industry dynamics point to strong long-term growth potential,” the brokerage said.
