Kanohar Electricals IPO review
Anand Rathi said Kanohar Electricals offers exposure to the structural growth of India’s power transmission and distribution sector, supported by rising grid investments, renewable energy integration and increasing demand for high-voltage transformers. However, high customer concentration, dependence on transformer manufacturing and reliance on government and transmission utility orders warrant a measured valuation outlook. At the upper price band, the company is valued at 38.6x FY26 P/E and 28.0x FY26 EV/EBITDA, implying a post-issue market capitalisation of ₹5,005 crore. While the valuation is at a premium to Transformers & Rectifiers (India), Anand Rathi believes the premium is supported by Kanohar’s stronger recent growth and profitability. The brokerage has assigned a “Subscribe – Long Term” rating to the IPO.
Swastika Investmart said Kanohar’s integrated transformer manufacturing and EPC capabilities position it well to participate in large power projects. However, the company remains exposed to concentration risk, with transformers accounting for 83% of FY26 revenue. FY26 revenue grew 45% to ₹653.8 crore, while PAT nearly doubled to ₹129.7 crore. Strong financial metrics, including ROE of 42.1%, ROCE of 70.1% and a low debt-to-equity ratio of 0.10x, highlight the company’s financial strength. Its ₹1,818-crore order book, equivalent to 2.8 times FY26 revenue, provides healthy revenue visibility. At around 34.5–36.3x FY26 EPS, Swastika considers the valuation reasonable compared with peers. The brokerage recommends the IPO to long-term investors, while noting that listing gains could be possible depending on market conditions.
Kantilal Chhaganlal Securities said Kanohar commands a premium valuation over Transformers & Rectifiers (India), but believes the premium is justified by its significantly stronger recent revenue and EBITDA growth. The brokerage noted that the company’s in-house manufacturing and integrated capabilities could support better quality control, execution efficiency and scalability as transformer demand rises. It expects investments in power transmission and distribution, renewable energy integration, railway electrification and grid modernisation to drive sustained demand for transformers. Kantilal Chhaganlal Securities recommends subscribing to the issue with a long-term investment horizon.
SBI Securities said that at the upper price band of ₹632, the issue is valued at 38.6x FY26 post-issue P/E, which it considers reasonable given Kanohar’s strong growth trajectory, niche certifications, robust order pipeline and favourable industry tailwinds. The brokerage recommends subscribing to the issue at the cut-off price.
Arihant Capital said that at ₹632 per share, the issue is valued at approximately 38.58x FY26 earnings, depending on the share-count methodology used. It said the premium valuation is supported by strong earnings growth, improving margins, high ROCE and a sizeable order book. However, investors should monitor customer concentration, government and PSU dependence, execution risks, commodity-price volatility and the sustainability of recent margin expansion. Arihant Capital recommends subscribing to the IPO for investors with a medium- to long-term horizon.
