IPO Lead Managers & Registrar
On the financial performance front, for the last three fiscals, the company has posted total income/ net profit, of Rs. 30.02 cr. / Rs. 0.81 cr. (FY23), Rs. 37.86 cr. / Rs. 1.42 cr. (FY24), Rs. 42.00 cr. / Rs. 3.48 cr. (FY25), 44.66 cr. / Rs. 5.18 cr. (11M-FY26). Boosted profits for 11M-FY26 raise eyebrows and concern over its sustainability. There appears to be some window dressing to fetch fancy valuation for the IPO.
For the last three fiscals, the company has reported an average EPS of Rs. 4.22 and an average RoNW of 52.75%. The issue is priced at a P/BV of 7.87 based on its NAV of Rs. 17.53 per share as of February 28, 2026, but its post IPO NAV data is having garbled info in the offer documents.
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 17.60, and based on FY25 earnings, the P/E stands at 28.57. The issue appears aggressively priced based on its recent earnings.
The company has posted PAT Margins of 2.70% (FY23), 3.74% (FY24), 8.28% (FY25), 11.61% (11M-FY26) and ROCE margins of 26.10%, 29.26%, 50.12%, 32.35%, respectively for referred periods.
All amounts in Indian Rupees crores
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 shown Niparo Trading, Miraclean Tools, as its peers. Being Pvt. Ltd. entities, peers have no records of its trading. However, they are not truly comparable on an apple-to-apple basis. This compare appears as an eyewash.
Merchant Banker's Track Record
This is the 11th mandate from Khandwala Securities in the last four fiscals (including the ongoing one). Out of the last 10 listings, 4 opened at discount, 2 at par, and the rest listed with a premium ranging from 7.35% to 90.00% on the listing date.
Conclusion
MDL is engaged in providing facility management supplies. It posted growth in its top and bottom lines for the reported periods. Boosted top and bottom lines for FY25, 11M-FY26 appears to be a window dressing to fetch fancy valuation for the IPO. Based on its recent financial data, the issue appears aggressively priced. Small-paid up equity capital post IPO indicates longer gestation period for migration. There is no harm in skipping this pricey and dicey issue.
