Indogulf Cropsciences IPO Day 2 Live: Review

On the valuation front, based on annualised FY25 figures, the company is seeking a P/E of 24.6x. Post-issue, the market capitalisation is expected to be ₹7,015 million, making the issue fairly priced, said brokerage Anand Rathi.

“The company has posted stable top-line and bottom-line performance despite raw material price volatility in recent years. We believe that ICL is well-positioned for long-term growth, supported by its backwards-integrated manufacturing facilities, focused R&D capabilities, strong distribution and sales network, and diversified product portfolio,” the brokerage added.

However, the industry that the company operates in is cyclical and highly dependent on government initiatives and shifts in consumer preference toward organic production, it cautioned.

“Given the fully priced valuation, we believe ICL is a long-term growth story that will require timely mass initiatives to boost agriculture and increase awareness of sustainable farming. Therefore, we assign a “SUBSCRIBE” rating to the issue,” it added.
