  • They have created a unique inward and outward model, wherein we procure raw materials for a manufacturer and further sell the finished products of the same manufacturer, thereby creating a wide and reliable customer and supplier base and ability of serving manufacturers at different points of the steel supply chain.
  • Peers: there are ferroalloys manufacturers but company is into trading only.

  • Earlier used to focus more on export which account for 80-85% of their revenues.
  • Now also focus on Indian market with clients like Tata Steel, Jindal staniless stell etc. and some PSE steel companies.
  • Focus of company right now is to gain more market share.
  • customer base spans across many sectors including retail and consumer goods, Healthcare, Manufacturing, Automotive, Food and Beverages, Energy and Utilities etc.. They serve including Indian Corporate Groups and Multi- National Corporations.
  • .PE 2024: 22.9x
  • I intend to apply in QVC Exports IPO subject to availability of funds. Company is basically a dealer/trader in ferro alloy and steel manufacturing materials and being mainly into trading has low margins. Still they have cobbled together a good ecosystem and achieved good growth. Average issue but may still be OK in current scenario.
  • GMP as reported on social media has been Rs. 72 (83%)
  • Khandwala Securities Limited is the Lead Manager and has a reasonable but limited record. They have managed SME IPO of Euphoria Infotech India, Kaushalya Logistics Limited, Vishnusurya Projects and Infra Limited.
  • SME IPOs are quite volatile and new retail investors need to exercise considerable caution in my view.
  • This post is exploratory and educational purposes only. Please do your own diligence before investing in SME IPOs like this.
