Our View
Based on the last 3 years average EPS, the P/E works out to be 20.6x for?the upper price band of Rs 178. And for the last year FY19, the P/E works out to be 19x. Even if we take 3 months ended Jun-2019 EPS of 2.96, P/E works out to be 15x. Hence the company is asking for an issue price of Rs 178 with a valuation of 15x to 20.6x P/E. Its closest peers like Astral Poly Technik is trading at P/E of ~70x (Highest) and Finolex Industries at ~20x (Lowest) and industry average P/E is ~39x. Our view is that the IPO is priced reasonably and investor should subscribe this IPO for long-term price appreciation.
