Stanley Lifestyles IPO Review
Arun Kejriwal, founder of Kejriwal Research and Investment Services
According to Arun Kejriwal, founder of Kejriwal Research and Investment Services, Stanley Lifestyles Ltd. is into bespoke furniture of the upper end, and more than 55–57% of its revenue comes from sofas and recliners. The size and scale of this business are small— ₹400 crore in revenue, multiple showrooms, across metros, and so on. On the manufacturing front, the company has all the capabilities and provides top-end products, but while we say that there is disposable income growth, etc., it doesn’t seem to translate into that kind of revenue for the company.
However, from a market perspective, investors look at the business opportunity and its first-of-its kind, premium bespoke, luxury, furniture maker origin, which is coming to the market. So, there’s a healthy grey market premium that gives you the opportunity to make money. So apply for the issue.
Dilip Davda, the contributing editor at Chittorgarh.com.
Dilip claims that the business is a major force in the premium-luxury furnishings market. Between FY21 and FY23, it showed consistent growth in both its top and bottom lines. Looking at the issue’s annualised profits for FY24, it is over priced. Moderate funds can be long-term invested in by knowledgeable and excess cash investors.
SMC Global
According to the brokerage, the company is engaged in the production and sale of upscale furniture. It operates 62 outlets throughout 25 Indian cities. In the upcoming years, it is anticipated that the Indian market for organised furniture retail and affluent homes would expand dramatically, providing Stanley Lifestyles with a favourable market. But these items’ high price and their erratic demand or shifting tastes might be detrimental to its business. The issue may be chosen by long-term investors.
