Kross Ltd., a diversified company is a producer of Trailer axles, suspension components, and high-performance, precision-machined safety-critical parts for Medium and Heavy Commercial Vehicles (M&HCV) and farm equipments . Due to cargo fleet operators' preference for trailers over rigid vehicles in the 55 tonne plus market, the tractor-trailer segment is now outperforming the medium- and heavy commercial vehicle (MHCV) industry, where the company supplies parts say analysts.

Axle beam extrusion is also being used by Kross as part of a backward integration process that could improve margins and gain firm export orders that have increased revenue visibility. The company's improved product mix and increased internal production have led to a comparatively large improvement in Earnings before interest tax depreciation and amortisation (Ebitda) and revenue margins over the last two fiscal years said analysts at Anand Rathi Research.

 

Anand Rathi Research recommends applying of Long term

For Kross Ltd, performance consistency may remain a challenge because of the cyclical nature of the commercial vehicle industry. Regarding valuation, Kross is seeking for a PE (price to earnings ratio) of 34 times for FY24 at the upper price band, and with a post-issue market capitalization of 1548 crore , it appears that the issue is fully priced as per Anand Rathi Research. However, Anand Rathi Research advises the IPO with a higher risk appetite to "SUBSCRIBE for LONG TERM" given all of its business potential and steady financial performance.

Canara Bank Securities recommend applying for Long term

Given that the top five customers accounted for more than 66% of the company's revenue over the last three fiscal years, customer concentration puts the business at risk.

Although Kross's P/E ratio of 28.92 times is marginally higher than the sector average of 26 times, its forward integration tactics, plans for capacity development, and excellent growth potential make this offering look attractive.

For long-term benefits, the brokerage business advises SUBSCRIBING to this IPO.

Neutral ratings by Swastika Investmart

A fast-rising company with backward integration skills in the organized trailer axle manufacturing sector. Kross has long-term relationships with significant domestic and international clients. It has seen steady increases in sales, earnings, and margins along with a desirable debt-to-equity ratio.

The valuation of the IPO is comparatively high says Swastika Investmart . Given the premium valuation and possible obstacles in the current market, we suggest giving the IPO a neutral grade.
