Should investors subscribe to the issue? Here’s what experts say:
ICICI Direct said investors can subscribe to the issue for long term gains as trailing valuations discount its healthy financials. “We like the company for its technical prowess in transmission space and incremental revenue streams coming on board going forward in EV transmission as well as dual clutch transmission space,” the brokerage said.
Manish Khanna, Co-Founder, of Unlisted Assets, said: “The company is one of the leading players supplying transfer case systems to automotive OEMs and the largest supplier of transfer case systems to passenger vehicle manufacturers in India. They are in the process of designing and developing prototypes of transmission systems for electric vehicles. Divgi TorqTransfer Systems Limited is a dividend-paying company and has been reporting growth in its top line and bottom line. The company currently earns 35% from export customers and 65% from domestic customers. Considering the issue band price of Rs.560-Rs.590, the expected listing price could be Rs.655 (Upper band price plus the GMP). The IPO can give listing gains of up to 11 per cent.”
Nirmal Bang Securities recommended investors to subscribe to the IPO, saying the company has an edge with its ability to manufacture various auto component products that very few in the market replicate. “The IPO is being offered at reasonable valuations at 39.1x FY22 earnings, considering the future growth opportunities,” it said.
