Premier Energies IPO Review

Indsec Securities Ltd

Premier Energies, which manufactures solar modules with an installed capacity of 4.13 GW and solar cells with an installed capacity of 2 GW, is expected to benefit greatly from these growth tailwinds, according to the brokerage. Furthermore, with regard to installed capacity for the production of solar cells, the firm is second only to Mundra Solar, which has a 50% market share. The additional 4 GW Solar PV TOPCon Cell and 4 GW Solar PV TOPCon Module manufacture would be funded by net proceeds. Increasing export earnings is another priority (particularly US). With an order book of 5926.6 crore as of July 2024, it gives superior short-term revenue visibility and is well-diversified across its categories.

“Given the significant growth opportunity and sound fundamental we are optimistic on the IPO and thereby assign “Subscribe” rating on the stock,” the brokerage said.

GEPL Capital Private Ltd

Premier Energies is a well-established solar cell and module producer in India with a wide range of satisfied customers, according to the brokerage. The firm has witnessed a recent boost in profitability and has a sizable order book of 5,926 crore. Premier Energies has pioneered India's first bifacial monocrystalline PERC solar cell and covers 28% of the country's total capacity with an annual installed capacity of 2.0 GW. Premier Energies has shown impressive financial development over the last three years, with sales and EBITDA growing by 62% and 146% CAGR, respectively.

"The company became profitable in FY24 with a profit of 231 crore. Despite its extensive experience and strong international relationships, Premier Energies faces substantial industry competition. As the Indian solar module consumption market is projected to grow at a 40% CAGR over the next five years, Premier Energies is well-positioned to capitalise on this growth. Hence, we recommend an "Subscribe" rating for the issue," the brokerage said.
