We believe that the IPO is fully priced and recommend a ‘subscribe for long term’ rating to the IPO.”

Another brokerage Swastika Investmart, however, recommends this IPO to “high-risk investors” for the long term.

It said Garuda Construction and Engineering has a strong order book and project diversification are key strengths of the business. The PE ratio is in line with industry peers, but the return on net worth is superior. FY23 saw strong growth in revenue and profit, while FY24 was sluggish due to the election year.

Brokerage firm Stoxbox in its note said, “The company has reduced its debt & is debt-free. With an order book worth Rs 1,408 crores, which is 9.2 times its sales, and an IPO priced at a reasonable Price-to-Earnings (P/E) ratio of 19.5 times based on FY24 earnings, we recommend a ‘subscribe’ rating for this IPO from a long-term perspective.”

It added that Garuda Construction’s revenue doubled to Rs 154.2 crore in FY24, showing an impressive annual growth rate of 26 per cent. Its profit after tax also grew to Rs 36.4 crores in FY24, with an annual growth rate of 24.7 per cent. The average debt-to-equity ratio of other companies in the industry ranged between 0.23 times and 0.66 times during FY19-FY23.
