Important things to note about the company:
Top reasons to consider the IPO:
· Firstly, the company is coming with a PE of 10.00-10.50 which makes it fairly valued in comparison to its peers.
· The company focuses on the construction of roads, flyovers, and bridges, which requires special skills and expertise.
· The company has a strong order book of construction of roads, flyovers, bridges, and irrigation projects from state Governments.
· Keeping in mind the growth of Indian economy, this can be a good company to keep in radar as the future looks promising for India in the infra sector.
· The company has strong execution capabilities, along with industry experience and expertise.
Risk Factors to watch out in the IPO:
· Infra companies’ fortune is usually linked to political equations.
· The order booked by the company does not guarantee future financial performance
· The company operates in a capital intensive sector, lack of cash flows from operating activities and insufficiency in Free Cash flow (FCF) may adversely affect the business’s operation.
· The company primarily depends on projects awarded to it by the Government of India, state governments, other Government authorities, or entities funded by the Government. Any unfavorable change in Government policy can materially affect the business and results of its operations.
· The current market situation is quite jittery and volatile due to the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank, First Republic Bank and Signature Bank, rate hikes in the European and in the US, poor inflation data worldwide, inclusion of few stocks of the Adani group in long term and short term ASM list.
