Arkade Developers IPO: Analysts’ Recommendations
Most brokerages have given a ‘subscription’ option to the IPO.
Brokerage firm Choice in its IPO note said, “ADL is a real estate development company specialising in premium lifestyle residential properties in Mumbai, the commercial capital of Maharashtra, India. The company focuses on two key areas: new developments and redevelopment projects. ADL’s operations are strategically based in the MMR, particularly in the western suburbs. Over the past two decades, ADL has successfully completed 28 projects. With a steady increase in the number of units sold, the company has shown strong growth in both revenue and profitability.”
At the higher end of the price range, ADL is asking an EV/Sales ratio of 3.2x, which is at a discount to the peer average. Historically, the company has concentrated on the western suburbs of MMR, but in recent years, ADL has expanded into the eastern suburbs of Mumbai. This business growth strategy, along with its near debt-free status and consistent on-time project delivery, positions ADL for sustainable growth in the future. “Thus, we recommend a “SUBSCRIBE” rating for this issue,” Choice said.
SBI Securities in its note also given a buy call to the IPO. It said, “The company is valued at FY24 P/E multiple of 19.3x at the upper price band of Rs 128 based on post-issue capital. The issue appears to be attractively priced given the excellent execution track record, healthy market share in the identified micro-markets, strong balance sheet and the growth potential of the real estate industry in the MMR. The funds raised through the IPO will be utilised for acquiring land parcels which will further boost the development pipeline. We recommend subscribing to the issue for both listing gains as well as long term investment horizon.”
