The aim is to expand their customer base, reach new markets, and achieve inorganic growth. The management intends to use around 10% of the gross proceeds for this purpose and is looking for companies with similar business lines that can help them expand through backward or vertical integration. They are seeking to identify companies that can add value to their products, increase their brand value, and ultimately improve their profitability.
Profitmart securities stated, “The revenue growth is excellent considering the company is 3 years old. PAT and RONW margins are attractive and they will mature overtime. Asset turnover does indicate adequate use of assets for the growth of the company in the long run. The IPO is coming at a P/E of 12.58 which makes it look more attractive and fair valued. This is a high growth sector where there is a lot of potential, especially with the government putting a major thrust on the agricultural sector thus the IPO is certainly suitable for Long Term Gains.”
