Leading brokerage Anand Rathi has assigned a 'subscribe' tag to Afcons Infrastructure IPO, saying, "At the upper band, the company is valuing at 37.9x its FY24 earnings along with being valued at 46.3x if we annualize FY25 earnings. Following the issuance of equity shares, the company's market capitalization stands at ₹1,70,261.8 million, with a market cap-to-sales ratio of 1.34 based on its FY24 earnings. We believe the issue is fully priced and recommend a "Subscribe – Long Term" rating to the IPO."
BP Equities has also assigned a 'buy' tag to the book build issue, saying, "The company is valued at a P/E ratio of 35.1x on the upper price band based on FY24 earnings, which is lower than the industry average P/E. Given its strong position in the market, the company is poised to capitalize on emerging market opportunities. Therefore, we recommend a "SUBSCRIBE" rating for the issue from a medium to long-term perspective."
Geojit Securities has also given a 'subscribe' tag to the public issue, saying, "At the upper price band of ₹463, AIL is trading at a P/E ratio of 38x for FY24, which is in line with its peers. With the government's initiatives aimed at infrastructure development, including increased budgetary allocations and rapid urbanization, AIL is strategically positioned for substantial growth. Considering its extensive experience in completing high-value and complex projects that offer better margins. Geographical diversification with operations across multiple sectors broadens their revenue base and mitigates risks. With a robust order book and a successful track record of project completion, we assign a "Subscribe" rating for medium- to long-term investment."
