8) According to domestic brokerage Motilal Oswal Indigo Paints Ltd is the 5th largest decorative paints company in India with strong portfolio of differentiated products. "Indigo Paints has grown at a 42% CAGR over FY10-19 vs. 12-13% CAGR recorded by top four players. Even in FY20 (impacted due to Covid-19), Indigo grew at 17% YoY vs -9% to 5% for other players. Multi-pronged strategy helped it garner higher sales and thus achieve 5th position in a highly competitive industry despite being a late entrant. It has attained 2% market share pan India and enjoys 3rd position in Kerala," said the brokerage, which has a subscribe rating.
9) "We like Indigo Paints given its differentiated product portfolio and robust expansion plans. We believe it can attain scale and maintain its strong growth over next few years. The issue is valued at 11.3x FY20 Mcap/sales which is comparable to peers. Hence we recommend subscribe to the IPO from long term perspective. Further given the current buoyant market and high interest for consumer stocks, the issue could see listing gains as well," Motilal Oswal said.
10) In FY20, Indigo Paints had reported revenues of ₹625 crore with net profit of ₹48 crore. "At the upper price band of Rs.1,490, IPL is available at P/E of 130x (annualized basis on FY21E EPS of Rs.11.4) and seems to be at a premium compared to the listed peers," Geojit said in a note.

"In spite of premium valuations, being the fastest growing paint company in India driven by developing niche product to compete market leaders, expansion plans, low debt and strong return profile with RoE of 25% in FY20 will make it an emerging player in the industry, we assign a “Subscribe" rating," it said.
