Choice Broking- Subscribe for long term
At a higher price band, the company is demanding a valuation of a P/E of 29.3x (based on FY24 EPS of Rs. 2.8) and EV/Sales of 2.4x; this valuation seems to be fully priced compared to its peer average. Annualizing 9MFY25 earnings (EPS of Rs 1.8), the implied P/E rises to 44.5x, reflecting a temporary decline in profitability due to ongoing facility expansions.
Backed by fully integrated operations and in-house manufacturing capabilities, the company is well-positioned to capitalize on this sectoral growth. While there may be short-term pressure on margins, the company’s ongoing expansion and favorable industry dynamics point to strong long-term growth potential.
