Venus Pipes IPO: What Analysts Say?
Hem Securities said that “Company is bringing the issue at a price band of Rs 310-326 per share at p/e multiple of 21x on 9Months FY22 eps basis. Company with international Accreditations and product approvals is specialized in the production of Stainless-Steel Pipes and Tubes with multi-fold demand for its Products & Customer Diversification. Hence, we recommend “Subscribe” on the issue.
Anand Rathi Research in its report noted, “The company is available at the upper end of the IPO price band at 21x its FY22 annualized earnings attributable to post issue equity demanding a market cap of Rs 6,617 million. At the upper end of the IPO price band, the issue is priced at a P/BV of 10.7x based on its NAV of Rs 30.5 as of March 31, 2021. The Company has delivered good growth in Sales over the past few years along with an increasing margin profile. However, Venus faces competition from its peers who hold substantial market share in the SS pipes and tubes market. When compared to its listed peers, Venus seems to be richly priced. We recommend an “Avoid” rating to this IPO.”
