What Analysts Say about Apply Rossari Biotech IPO

“There are a number of reasons why Rossari Biotech IPO is a subscribe for short and long term investors alike. Fundamentally it is extremely strong with a top line, EBITDA and net profit CAGR of 32%, 63% and 67% respectively from FY17 to FY20.” says Nirali Shah analyst at Samco Securities.

“It carries a moat of leading the manufacturing of specialty chemicals for the textile space and caters to other categories such as home, personal care, animal health etc. with a list of top-notch client base,” says Nirali Shah, senior research analyst at Samco Securities, which has a subscribe rating on the IPO.

“Since its P/E is slightly overvalued at 31x compared to average P/E of 27x, short term investors can subscribe only for listing gains. However, for long term investors can hold on to this stock as it is still a fair deal because the handsome growth and strong book with a mere 0.3 Debt/equity ratio and sufficient cash still justifies the valuation. One major risk could be its dependence on the textile space however they are trying to reduce this exposure eventually (Textiles formed 71.54% of its revenue in FY18 which is 43.71% in FY20),” she added.

Another domestic brokerage Anand Rathi has also a subscribe rating on Rossari Biotech IPO.

“At the higher end ( ₹425 a share) of the issue band, the stock is valued at 19.9 times EV/EBITDA and 33.1 times P/E on FY20 figures. Galaxy, Atul and Fine Organics trade at FY20 P/E multiples of 24.3x, 20.7x and 36.3x respectively while Aarti Industries and Vinati Organics trade at 30-31x. We believe this multiple is within the range of the sector average and due to growth prospects on the greater capacity and increase in demand for the products. The high return ratios coupled with the proof of concept in the historic growth rates provide further comfort,” the brokerage said.

The risk factors for Rossari Biotech include downturn in textile industry, great dependence on a few customers and delay in capex, says Anand Rathi.
