Arkade Developers IPO review

Experts are positive about the issue as they observe valuation comfort and healthy growth prospects for the firms.

Sagar Shetty, a research analyst at StoxBox, underscored that Arkade Developers is a rapidly expanding real estate developer in the Mumbai region, and being one of the leading developers in Mumbai’s micro markets, the company presents a compelling investment opportunity.

He underscored that Arkade Developers has demonstrated substantial financial growth, with a revenue CAGR of 66.5 per cent from FY22 to FY24. The company's profit after tax (PAT) increased impressively from 508.4 million in FY23 to 1,228.1 million in FY24. Its return on capital employed (RoCE) also rose significantly from 24.3 per cent in FY23 to 47.3 per cent in FY24, highlighting the company's efficient capital utilization to drive growth and enhance profitability.

"Arkade Developers is working towards becoming debt-free, which enhances its attractiveness to investors by ensuring that funds are not diverted towards debt repayment. The company plans to expand into the eastern region of the Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR), Maharashtra, with a mix of commercial and residential developments," said Shetty.

"The current issue is priced at a P/E ratio of 15.8 times on the upper price band based on FY24 earnings, which is relatively lower than its peers. Therefore, we recommend a 'subscribe' rating for this issue from a medium- to long-term investment perspective," said Shetty.

Anshul Jain, the head of research at Lakshmishree Investment and Securities, considers the issue a solid long-term investment.

"Arkade Developers' IPO presents a compelling opportunity for long-term investors. The company's strong financial performance, coupled with its strategic focus on redevelopment, positions it well to capitalize on the growing housing demand in India.

With a P/E and P/B ratio of around 19 and 3, respectively, the company's valuation appears attractive," said Jain.

"Despite its concentration in Mumbai, Arkade Developers' expertise in timely project execution and its ability to navigate complex redevelopment processes are key strengths. While the real estate sector is cyclical, the government's increased focus on infrastructure development and the rising demand for housing is expected to drive prices, benefiting Arkade Developers. For investors seeking long-term value, this IPO offers a promising investment opportunity," Jain added.
