He said that one can expect a listing gain between 20 and 30 percent, referring it as reasonable gains. Investors can subscribe the shares with a long term view as well, the Market Guru further said. He said that the promoters were quite experienced. Another important thing that goes for the company is that it is growth oriented.

The company has managed to doble its revenues in two financial years between FY19 and FY21, he further said. The profitability has doubled and the margins have improved considerably, the Managing Editor said.

The EPS has also grown from Rs 3 to Rs 12. The third important reason is that it has done a further capex of Rs 65 cr this year and remains cash positive. This is not very common in small size companies, Singhvi remarked.

The company management has also told the channel that it is debt free now. The valuations are very attractive in comparison to its industry peer, Singhvi said. It is available at a PE multiple of 25.

Investors must consider this too:

  1. It is into agrochemical space which is very competitive. There are not enough entry barriers and many companies are now in this business.
  2. Small size company
  3. At 35 per cent, large part of its raw materials come from China.
