Aether IPO Valuation
On valuation of the public issue, Amarjeet Maurya, AVP – mid caps, Angel One Ltd said, “Aether Industries has received a decent response from investors. In terms of valuations, the post-issue TTM P/E works out to 75.6x (at the upper end of the issue price band), which is reasonable considering Aether Industries’ historical top-line & bottom-line CAGR of 50 per cent and 75 per cent respectively over FY19-21. Further, Aether Industries has a diversified customer base, strong financial track record and higher ROE. Considering all the positive factors, we believe this valuation is at reasonable levels.”
“Thus, we are positive on the IPO for the long term horizon,” he added.
Aether IPO Listing Expectation, Strategy
“Experienced promoters, decent margins and impressive top-bottom line growth works in favour of the company. However, the issue was richly priced. Amid volatile market conditions, we may see the listing on a positive note and the issue may list at a marginal premium of around 3-5 per cent,” said Doshi.
“Considering the turbulence in the global equity market and higher demanded valuations, we are not anticipating any significant listing gains from these IPOs. We had assigned “subscribe with caution” rating for these IPO. Investors who have received the allotment are recommended to take an exit on listing,” said Rajnath Yadav, research analyst, Choice Broking.
