Lohia Corp IPO buy or not?
Swastika Investmart has recommended investors subscribe to the Lohia Corp IPO for the long term, while expecting moderate listing gains. The brokerage highlighted the company’s strong financial metrics, including a return on equity (ROE) of 36.8% and return on capital employed (ROCE) of 40.9% as of March 2026. It also noted Lohia Corp’s dominant 80%+ market share in India and 17.5% global market share in the raffia machinery segment, supported by strong research and development capabilities and a robust patent portfolio. While the IPO is valued at around 23x FY26 earnings, higher than Rajoo Engineers’ 18x, Swastika believes the premium is justified given the company’s market leadership. However, it noted that the issue is an OFS, meaning no fresh capital will flow into the business.
Kantilal Chhaganlal Securities has also recommended investors “Apply” to the issue with a long-term investment horizon. The brokerage said Lohia Corp’s leadership in the global woven raffia machinery market, exports to over 100 countries, diversified customer base, and favourable long-term industry outlook support its growth prospects. It added that the IPO is fairly valued at 22.1x FY26 estimated earnings, considering the company’s strong export franchise, increasing global penetration, and competitive positioning, which are expected to drive sustainable long-term growth.
