Innovision IPO: Should you apply?
Brokerages have largely assigned an ‘Avoid’ rating to Innovision IPO amid high valuations and weak margins.
SBI Securities said that at the upper price band of ₹548, the issue is valued at a P/E ratio of 32.5x based on its 1HFY26 annualised earnings on post-issue capital.
“When compared to its peers, the IPO valuations appear to be premium. Furthermore, the company exhibits a significant concentration of business in terms of both clients and geographical regions. It is also facing a considerable number of legal and regulatory challenges, along with debarment notices from some clients. While growth is strong, the margins are very low and are subject to high employee attrition,” opined the brokerage, while advising an AVOID rating on the issue.
Swastika Investmart also said that Innovision is not a strong conviction long-term hold at this valuation unless margins show a clear upward trajectory in the coming quarters.
“At 35.69x P/E, the stock is pricing in significant future growth already. Given thin margins (~5.78% EBITDA) and a commoditised manpower/toll services business, this valuation leaves a limited margin of safety. Long-term upside at this price needs consistent margin expansion to play out,” Swastika said.
The company specialises in providing manpower services, which include manned private security, integrated facility management services, as well as manpower sourcing and payroll management.
The toll plaza management operations involve user fee collection and related services at toll plazas, secured through competitive bidding processes. Additionally, the company is empanelled with NHAI for toll collection at various locations.
Emkay Global Financial Services is the book-running lead manager to the offer.
