MoneyWorks4me Opinion:
According to the F&S Report, India’s specialty chemicals industry is expected to grow at a CAGR of approximately 10% to 11% over the next 5 years, due to rising demand from end-user industries, along with tight global supply on account of stringent environmental norms in China. Further, India accounts for approximately 1% to 2% of the global exportable specialty chemicals, indicating a large scope of improvement and widespread opportunity.
The bulk of the revenue of the company comes from long-term agreements with its clients. The duration of these agreements ranges between 2-5 years. The customers in this industry are required to register their manufacturer with regulatory bodies and hence they select with careful review. Hence the customer acquisition is a 12-24 month process. Also to restrict the spread of confidential information, the customers prefer to limit the number of manufacturers.
We believe that Indian chemical and pharmaceuticals ingredients manufacturers will gain market share globally as Chinese companies are cutting down their capacities due to pollution concerns. With help of scale and government incentives, we will see growth in the chemical sector which bodes well for growth in the sector.
Valuation
Anupam Rasayan has a reasonable scale to take advantage of chemical manufacturing increasing in India.
In the latest quarter, the growth rate of the company was 36% annualized. It falls into faster-growing chemical manufacturers. With the repayment of debt post issue, the profit growth is likely to be higher from lower interest costs.
We believe that at around EV/sales of 6-7x i.e. ~45x EPS, the IPO is very aggressively priced. Its competitor PI industries also trades at a similar valuation in the public market, hence the steep pricing.
Except for listing gains, we do not see merit investing at IPO or listing day price. Since it belongs to the market’s favorite growth sector, we recommend subscribing for listing gains.
Risks are high that the growth rate might moderate as growth is limited to capacity expansion done by the companies, unlike asset light/outsourcing companies.
Note:
- We do not recommend buy just because the IPO market is hot. We do not earn any commission or fee for promoting IPOs so expect an honest review from us on the business model and valuation.
- IPO is usually steeply-priced as promoters look for bang for the buck. Since investors receive only 1-2 lots (<30K), occasionally we do recommend BUY for listing gains or small allocation.
