OnEMI Technology Solutions IPO review
Anand Rathi Research stated that at the upper price band, the company is valued at 1.4x FY25 P/B, implying a post-issue market capitalization of ₹28,810 million.
The firm highlighted that approximately 94% of the company’s loan book is unsecured, indicating a relatively higher-risk lending profile. However, it also noted that with evolving consumer lifestyles, the company has effectively scaled its digital loan distribution and is well-positioned to capitalize on future growth opportunities.
Anand Rathi Research further emphasized that the company has built a strong user base of 53 million, backed by a proven platform and substantial headroom in India’s underpenetrated credit market.
Considering these factors, Anand Rathi Research views the IPO as fairly valued and has assigned it a “Subscribe – Long Term” recommendation.
As per Swastika Investmart, the stock is presently trading at an appealing valuation of 10.8x P/E and 0.91x P/B, indicating a significant discount in comparison to competitors like Bajaj Finance.
The brokerage emphasized the company’s substantial scale, boasting a user base of over 6.3 crore and a notable Net Promoter Score ranging from 91 to 95, which is rare in the lending sector. Nevertheless, it also pointed out important risks, noting that approximately 94% of the loan portfolio is unsecured, rendering the business highly susceptible to economic downturns or stricter regulatory actions from the RBI.
In FY25, performance declined, although there was a slight rebound in the initial nine months of FY26; however, maintaining consistency is still an issue. The brokerage pointed out that even with a unique business model and appealing valuation, factors like unsecured lending risks and outstanding legal matters call for careful consideration. Consequently, more risk-averse investors might opt for a wait-and-see strategy before making any commitments.
