“We believe Interarch Building Products Ltd IPO brings a unique opportunity to investors to invest in a leading player in the PEB segment. On valuation at parse, at the upper price band of ₹900/-, the issue is asking for a market cap of ₹1,498 crore. Based on FY 2024 earnings and fully diluted post- IPO paid-up capital, the company is asking for PE of 17.36 which seems reasonably priced by looking at its financial performance and market position. Given the company's integrated manufacturing operations and proven execution, along with a diverse customer base, Interarch is well-positioned to capitalize on the expanding demand for PEBs in India. Hence, we recommend investors to ‘Subscribe’ the Interarch Building Products IPO for a long term perspective,” said Rajan Shinde, Research Analyst at Mehta Equities Ltd.
As the company is the second largest PEB player in India, Shinde believes the market could give Interarch a premium multiple towards its leadership position; this may result in delivering healthy listing gains over above 25% on its issue price.
SBI Securities noted that the company is valued at FY24 P/E multiple of 17.4x at the upper price band based on post issue capital. The company is raising funds to set up a new manufacturing facility, invest in upgrading existing manufacturing facilities, upgrade IT assets, and fund its working capital requirements.
“The Prefabricated Engineered Building (PEB) market in India is expected to grow at a CAGR of 11- 12%, reaching ₹330-340 billion between FY24 and FY29. While comparing the IPO with peer companies, the stock appears to be fairly valued across different valuation and financial parameters. We recommend subscribing to the issue for a long-term investment horizon,” SBI Securities said.
