“ Arisinfra Solutions Limited is engaged in technology enabled B2B supplier for construction materials, that has growing market. It enjoys virtual monopoly in the segment and is most preferred partner in construction activities. It posted losses till FY24 and has just turned corner for 9M of FY25. Based on latest working the issue is aggressively priced, and based on working till FY24, the P/E is negative. Well-informed/cash surplus investors may park moderate funds for long term, others may simply stay away from this pricey bet,” said brokerage firm Bajaj Broking.

Meanwhile, brokerage firm BP Equities said, “ Arisinfra Solutions Limited is currently valued at a P/E ratio of 273x on the upper price band, based on FY25 annualized earnings, which is relatively high; however, it remains well-positioned for future growth, considering that it is the only player in this emerging segment with an intention to repay debt and invest in its subsidiary. We thus recommend a ‘SUBSCRIBE’ rating for investors with a medium to long-term investment horizon.”
