SRIT India IPO - QuickView
SRIT India IPO — QuickView
I went through the RHP, and honestly, this is not a “story-only” IPO.
Financials look decent:
Revenue grew from ₹271 Cr → ₹450 Cr and PAT from ₹29 Cr → ₹43 Cr between
FY24–FY26.
At the ₹123–130 price band, FY26 EPS of ₹9.47 implies
roughly 13.0–13.7x P/E. The disclosed peer average is 18.3x,
so the headline valuation doesn't look stretched.
Promoters: RHP does not disclose criminal proceedings, SEBI
penalties, regulatory actions or material civil proceedings against the
promoters. That’s a positive from a governance-screening perspective.
But here’s what I don't want to ignore:
FY26 operating cash flow was negative ₹12 Cr despite ₹43 Cr PAT.
The company also has a sizeable working-capital requirement, which is why ₹124
Cr of IPO proceeds is earmarked for working capital.
Total fresh issue at ₹130 = around ₹218 Cr:
·
₹12.9 Cr → capex/modernisation
·
₹124 Cr → working capital
·
Balance → acquisitions/strategic
initiatives/general corporate purposes, subject to the limits disclosed in the
RHP.
There are also ongoing contractual/tax/GST matters, although nothing in the
RHP points to promoter-level criminal wrongdoing.
My takeaway:
The business is genuine and has an established track record. Valuation looks
reasonable on the disclosed peer comparison. But for a long-term investor, cash
conversion + working-capital discipline + customer concentration are
the three things I would track closely.
Not a “blind subscribe” IPO for me — the business deserves
attention, but the cash-flow quality deserves equal attention.
