‘Listing gains to be tepid’

Most analysts believe that the IPO offers investors an opportunity to invest in a global leader in energy efficiency products, but believe that it’s expensively priced.

SBI Securities says that its valuations are stretched taking into consideration weak cash flows and low return ratios. “However, being a unique business, the business may command a scarcity premium and long-term investors are recommended to subscribe to the issue. Listing gains are likely to remain tepid,” it said.

Prashanth Tapse, research analyst and senior VP research at Mehta Equities said that the issue is asking for a marketcap of ₹1,674 crore with price to earnings ratio (P/E) of 33.69x on consolidated basis.

“It sees the issue is fully priced-in looking at growth and expected outlook. We are inclined to recommend risk taking investors to ‘Subscribe with Risk’,” Tapse added.

Arihant Capital however believes that Rishabh Instruments' IPO presents an opportunity to invest in a well-established company with a history of growth and innovation. “We are recommending ‘Subscribe for listing gains’ for this issue,” he said.

The company founded by Narendra Joharimal Goliya, has over 40 years of experience in the manufacturing and electrical industry. Its energy efficiency solutions include automation, metering and measurement, precision engineered products and others to industries like power, automotive and industrial sectors.

The company raised ₹147 crore from anchor investors like HDFC Mutual Fund, Nippon India Mutual Fund, Sundaram Mutual Fund, Tata Mutual Fund and more.

The net proceeds from the offer will be utilised towards the expansion of its Nashik facility. DAM Capital Advisors, Mirae Asset Capital Markets and Motilal Oswal Investment Advisors are the book running lead managers of the issue while KFin Technologies is the registrar to the offer. The equity shares are proposed to be listed on BSE and NSE.
