Giving a ‘subscribe’ tag for medium to long-term, Master Capital Services said, "Growing demand over the years, especially from the chemicals, construction, and food agriculture sectors, has helped the FIBC sector reach healthy capacity utilization levels, resulting in players going for capacity expansion. Further, the FIBC industry grew at a CAGR of 1.8% during 2020-2023, owing to continuous innovations and process improvement across the value chain and steady traction due to continuous improvement in product quality. The company plans to take advantage of this situation by focusing on its core competencies and maximizing its capacity. The company also intends to develop a new product line following the market trends, using its vast product portfolio, and enhancing its technological capabilities to create a Global and Domestic presence. Investors can invest in the IPO for the medium to long term."
Assigning a 'subscribe' tag to the public issue, Akriti Mehrotra, Research Analyst at Stoxbox, said, “The FIBC market is set for significant expansion, fueled by growing demand across various sectors and the surging e-commerce industry. Since their introduction in India in the early 1990s, FIBCs have evolved into a major export commodity, with Indian production now reaching nearly 65 countries. This growth is driven by robust domestic demand in industries such as chemicals, food products, construction materials, and agriculture, coupled with favourable government policies like Make-in-India, which promote manufacturing and international trade. Shree Tirupati Balajee Agro Trading Co. Ltd. has emerged as a leading FIBC and industrial packaging player, leveraging substantial market demand and a global presence.”
"Despite facing challenges such as regulatory changes affecting plastic use, fluctuations in raw material supply, and regional concentration of manufacturing, the company has demonstrated consistent financial growth. It reported a revenue CAGR of 10.2%, increasing from ₹4,442 million in FY22 to ₹5,397 million in FY24. EBITDA margins improved from 7% to 11%, and PAT rose from Rs. 137 million to ₹361 million. With a current P/E ratio of 14.5x on the upper price band based on FY24 earnings, we recommend a "SUBSCRIBE" rating for the issue with a medium to long-term investment perspective," the StoxBox expert said.
