The nearest comparable listed player is Avanti Feeds which is trading at P/E of 42 times FY17 consolidated EPS. However, Avanti is much larger and fully integrated player with track record of fast growth and is a joint venture with Thai Union Frozen Products PCL, the world’s largest seafood processor”
Rudra Shares: “Strong growth in Revenue & profitability of the company with growing demand of shrimp business, its increase value added products portfolio, ability of the company to expand customer base as well as setting up of a new unit of 20000 MTPA capacity at East Godavari District, Andhra Pradesh attracts the company’s share price. Eyeing on its valuation, Apex P/E works out at 17.21x (at upper end) & is available at attractive valuations amongst its peers. We recommend to SUBSCRIBE for this IPO.”
GEPL Capital: “Apex Frozen Foods Limited (“Apex”) stands to gain from operating leverage. At a P/E of 17.20xs of FY17 Earning. We believe that Apex demands a discount to its domestic peers. We assign a Subscribe rating to the IPO.”
Choice International: “Subscribe with Caution;At the higher price band of Rs. 175 per share, AFFL’s share is valued at a P/E multiple of 22.4x (to its restated FY17 EPS of Rs. 7.8), which is at a discount to the peer average of 38.5x”
Ashika Direct: “On financial front, company has shown strong performance with revenue growth of 29% CAGR during FY13-FY17. EBITDA during the same period grew at a CAGR of 20% while net profitability grew at 27% CAGR. The issue consists
of both fresh issue and offer for sale from promoters. Company would utilize the IPO proceeds towards setting up a new shrimp processing unit with a proposed capacity of 20,000 MTPA at Andhra Pradesh for a cost of Rs 90.15 crore. The new facility will augment the company’s processing capacity from the current levels of 9,240 MTPA, thus would boost the revenue in coming years. Management intends to increase its exposure in ready to eat segments where margins are comparatively higher, thus the margins are likely to improve in near future. Company’s export accounts ~94% of total revenue earned and during FY17, it has witnessed a steady growth of 4% YoY in export volume at 9,898 tonne with 10.6% YoY increase in blended realization at USD 10.4/kg (Considering USD/INR at Rs64). There will be equity dilution of 23.2% which makes the valuation looks rich at upper price band at P/E multiple of 22.4x and diluted RoNW of 10.9%. However, it is expected that the 20,000 MTPA capacity expansions by the company would augment its earnings growth going ahead and the future earnings growth would support its premium valuation. Thus we recommend our investors to SUBSCRIBE the issue from a long term investment perspective.”
