Financial Highlights

The table captures the key financials of BMW Ventures Ltd for last 3 financial years.  

Particulars  FY25  FY24  FY23 
Net Revenues (₹ in crore)  2,062.04  1,938.20  2,015.10 
Sales Growth (%)  6.39%  -3.82%   
Profit after Tax (₹ in crore)  32.82  29.94  32.66 
PAT Margins (%)  1.59%  1.54%  1.62% 
Total Equity (₹ in crore)  209.65  186.71  156.48 
Total Assets (₹ in crore)  676.09  646.15  481.79

Data Source: Company RHP filed with SEBI (FY refers to Apr-Mar period) 

Being a trading company, the sales figure may be misleading, although it has been rather erratic. However, profit margins have been under 1.6%, which is generally the trend for trading companies, as the top line tends to limit the PAT margins. 

Valuation Metrics

At the current issue price of ₹99 per share, the valuation of the company is at a P/E ratio of 19.1X in terms of latest year EPS of ₹5.18. The ROE is relatively comfortable at over 15%, but the PAT margins being under 2% would be a limit on profit growth. That is something investors need to watch out for. 

The core business model of the company is that of a trading company, but even for a trading company, the PAT margins are very low on a consistent basis. The company does have a strong distributor network and economies of scale. However, investors need to really take a call on whether this could make a substantive difference to the valuation of the stock.
