The issue is solely lead managed by Aryaman Financial Services Ltd. and Bigshare Services Pvt. Ltd. is the registrar to the issue. Aryaman Capital Markets Ltd. is the market maker for this IPO.

Having issued initial equity at par, the company raised further equity in the price range of Rs. 13 to Rs. 55 between March 2012 and January 2020. It has also issued bonus shares in the ratio of 4 for 1 in March 2012, 3 for 2 in January 2013, 3 for 8 in March 2014, 1 for 6 in December 2016 and 1 for 1 in January 2021.

If we annualize FY21 earnings and attribute it to fully diluted post issue equity, then the asking price is at a P/E of 19.53.

COMPARISON WITH LISTED PEERS:
As per offer documents, AML has shown KMS Medi, Mohini Health as its listed peers. They are currently trading at a P/E of 100 and 7.95 (as of June 11, 2021). However, they are not truly comparable on an apple to apple basis.

MERCHANT BANKER'S PERFORMANCE:
This is the 26th mandate from Aryaman Financial in the last four fiscals (including the ongoing one). Out of the last 10 listings, 2 opened at discount and the rest with premiums ranging from 0.04% to 2.16% on the day of listing.


Conclusion / Investment Strategy

Based on static financial parameters with declining trends for the bottom line, the issue appears aggressively priced and un-appealing. Cash surplus, risk savvy investors may consider investment at their own risk.
