Should investors subscribe to the issue? Here’s what experts say:
Analysts expect the company to deliver in the long term and investors with a long-term view can bid for the IPO.
“The company’s strong balance sheet and positive operating cash flows enable it to fund its strategic initiatives, pursue opportunities for growth and manage unanticipated cash flow variations,” said Hem Securities, which has a subscribe recommendation with long-term view.
Most brokerages are pleased with the company’s financials till FY22. “The company is virtually debt free as of September 2022. On valuation front, the company is available at 35.20x PE for FY22 which is quite attractive to the industry peers,” said Canara Bank Securities with a subscribe recommendation.
Other brokerages ICICI Direct and Nirmal Bang Securities too have a “subscribe” recommendation to the issue.
Some of the key risks that could derail the company’s journey include its high concentration of revenue from few customers. Divgi is a business to business (B2B) manufacturing company, which gets a large chunk of revenue from top five customers Mahindra & Mahindra, Tata Motors, Toyota Kirloskar Auto Parts, BorgWarner and a Russian automobile manufacturer.
“The overseas sales are primarily dependent on two countries, China and Russia, which exposes the company to concentration risks,” said Canara Bank Securities.
