Financial Performance

Particulars (Rs cr) FY23 FY24 FY25 9M FY26
PAT 0.74 2.08 6.00 5.30

 

Revenue was broadly static across FY23 and FY24 before posting growth in FY25. PAT grew from Rs 0.74 crore in FY23 to Rs 6.00 crore in FY25 — an 8x expansion — while 9M FY26 PAT of Rs 5.30 crore already represents 88% of the full FY25 figure. The pace of profit improvement from FY24 onwards is sharp. Debt-to-equity stands at 1.67 — elevated for a small-cap manufacturer in a commoditised segment. Post-IPO EPS is Rs 6.42, placing the issue at approximately 12.46x P/E on recent earnings.

Risks to Consider

The dramatic profit expansion from FY24 — PAT grew 3x in FY25 alone — in a commoditised steel pipe segment where margins are characteristically thin invites scrutiny about the durability of recent earnings. The debt-to-equity of 1.67 is elevated and will need careful servicing alongside any planned expansion. The ERW steel segment is highly competitive with many small and medium manufacturers, and pricing power is limited. Capital Square Advisors, the BRLM does not have a great track record. The company carries a name which implies plastics but the business is entirely steel, which may cause investor confusion.

Analyst View

Analysts note that after static top lines in FY23 and FY24, the company posted growth from FY25 onwards. However, the boosted profits from FY24 raise concern as the company operates in a highly competitive and fragmented segment. Based on recent financial performance, the issue appears aggressively priced as per analysts.
