Patel Retail IPO review

Choice Equity Broking, a brokerage firm, said that at the upper price range, the company is valued at a P/E of 33.7, which indicates a valuation discount in comparison to its peers. Its price-to-book ratio of 2.4 and EV/Sales ratio of 1.0 are also appealing when matched against the competition.

Although its debt-to-equity ratio is currently higher than that of rival firms, the management intends to use IPO funds to reduce debt, which is expected to lower leverage soon. In the retail division, the company showcases significant operational efficiency, generating impressive revenue of ₹20,500 per square foot. The processing segment, while not fully utilised at the moment, is set to receive investments aimed at enhancing capacity utilisation, according to the promoters' statements. Considering all these factors, the company shows strong long-term potential, leading them to endorse a ‘Subscribe For Long Term’ recommendation.
