The company has shown steady sales growth but PAT margins have been under 4%. However, this is normal for a commodity based FMCG company. ROE has been steadily moving up and the asset turnover is fairly attractive at closer to 2.5X.
At the current issue price of ₹322 per share, the valuation of the company is at a P/E ratio of 33.1X in terms of latest year EPS of ₹9.74. If we extrapolate the EPS growth, the forward P/E may be actually looking relatively better, although it faces tough competition from the unorganized sector and the not-so-frontline brands. That is due to the markets being fairly price conscious in rural and semi-urban India.
The company does bring some advantages to the table. It has a leadership position in East India as an FMCG brand in wheat flours. However, that remains a commodity business with low margins and competition risk. The company has a mix of retail and corporate customers, which de-risks its business model. Investors in the IPO would have to take a very close look at the valuations, as that could be the deciding factor.
