Review By Rudra Shares & Stock Brokers Ltd on December 18, 2019
VALUATION
Prince pipes has pan-India distribution network with diverse product portfolio. Also, financials of the company seems sound with a 9% CAGR revenue growth and healthy margins. By FY21 it is planning to expand the current Capacity for Rajasthan & Telangana plant. Also, by next 3-4 years, the trubore brand is expected to enter new geographies and become a pan-India Brand.
However, having said that, it does not mitigate the risk associated with Prince pipes. As per RHP, some directors & promoters have outstanding litigations over Rs 900cr w.r.t their exposure to real estate projects. Also, increase in crude oil prices & high competition from the organized & unorganized manufactures may hurt its valuation & margins in long term.
On a upper price band of Rs 178, with estimated EPS at Rs 9.70 for FY 20, the stock is available at a P/E ratio of 18.35x which is fairly priced. Other peers in the industry are trading at much higher P/E of 70x. The industry too commands an average P/E of 40x. However, considering risk associated with Prince pipes(as stated above), we maintain 'Neutral stance' to the IPO.
