ISSUE DETAILS/ CAPITAL HISTORY:
The company is coming out with its maiden IPO of 3561000 equity shares of Rs. 10 each at a fixed price of Rs. 41 per share to mobilize Rs. 14.60 cr. The minimum application to be made is for 6000 shares and in multiples of 3000 shares thereon, thereafter. The issue opens for subscription on May 21, 2026 and will close on May 25, 2026. The shares will be listed on BSE SME. The IPO constitute 26.34% of the post-IPO paid-up capital of the company. The company is spending Rs. 1.45 cr. for this IPO process. From the net proceeds of the equity issue, it will utilize Rs. 1.89 cr. for capex on new machineries, Rs. 9.30 cr. for working capital, and Rs. 1.96 cr. for general corporate purposes.
The IPO is solely lead managed by Novus Capital Advisors Pvt. Ltd., and Skyline Financial Services Pvt. Ltd. is the registrar to the issue. NDA Securities Ltd. is the market maker.
After issuing initial equity capital at par value, it issued further equity shares at a fixed price in the price range of Rs. 29 – Rs. 41 per share between August 2024 – March 2025. It has also issued bonus shares in the ratio of 16 for 1 in June 2024. The average cost of acquisition of shares by the promoters is Rs. 45.49 per share.
Post-IPO, company’s current paid-up equity capital of Rs. 9.95 cr. will stand enhanced to Rs. 13.52 cr. Based on the upper band of the IPO pricing, the company is looking for a market cap of Rs. 55.41 cr.
FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE:
On the financial performance front, for the last three fiscals, the company has (on a consolidated basis) posted total income/ net profit, of Rs. 10.60 cr. / Rs. 0.16 cr. (FY23), Rs. 15.92 cr. / Rs. 1.63 cr. (FY24), Rs. 33.88 cr. / Rs. 3.50 cr. (FY25). For 9M of FY26 ended on December 31, 2025, it earned a net profit of Rs. 2.83 cr. on a total income of Rs. 28.32 cr. The company marked quantum jump in its bottom lines from FY24 onward. Sustainability of such margins going forward remains concern, as it is operating in a highly competitive and fragmented segment.
For the last three fiscals, the company has reported an average EPS of Rs. 2.56 and an average RoNW of 18.00%. The issue is priced at a P/BV of 2.32 based on its NAV of Rs. 17.65 per share as of December 31, 2025, and at a P/BV of 1.72 based on its post-IPO NAV of Rs. 23.81 per share.
If we attribute FY26 annualized super earnings to its post-IPO fully diluted paid-up equity capital, then the asking price is at a P/E of 14.70, and based on FY25 earnings, the P/E stands at 15.83. The issue appears fully priced based on its recent earnings.
The company has posted ROCE Margins of 6.84% (FY23), 28.10% (FY24), 33.74% (FY25), 21.34% (9M-FY26), and PAT margins of 1.49%, 10.24%, 10.51%, 9.99%, respectively for referred periods.
DIVIDEND POLICY:
The company has not paid any dividends for the reported periods of the offer document. It will adopt a prudent dividend policy, based on its financial performance and future prospects.
COMPARISON WITH LISTED PEERS:
As per the offer document, the company has no listed peers to compare with.
MERCHANT BANKER’S TRACL RECORD:
This is the 13th mandate from Novus Capital in the last four fiscals (including the ongoing one). Out of the last 10 listings, 4 opened at discount, 1 at par, and the rest with premium ranging from 2.09% to 31.25% on the date of listing. Thus, the lead manager has an average record.
Conclusion / Investment Strategy
AL is engaged in the manufacturing and marketing of automotive accessories. It operates in B2B and B2C segments. It posted growth in its top and bottom lines for the reported periods. Based on its recent financial data, the issue appears fully priced. It is operating in a highly competitive and fragmented segment.
