On the financial performance front, for the last three fiscals, the company has (on a consolidated basis) posted total income/ net profit, of Rs. 184.81 cr. / Rs. 32.10 cr. (FY23), Rs. 206.45 cr. / Rs. 34.44 cr. (FY24), Rs. 322.58 cr. / Rs. 28.13 cr. (FY25). For 9M of FY26 ended on December 31, 2025, it earned a net profit of Rs. 38.69 cr. on a total income of Rs. 236.50 cr. Though it posted growth in its top lines for the reported periods, its bottom line posted inconsistency. For FY25, it posted lower net profit of Rs. 28.13 cr., and for 9M-FY26, though the top line is Rs, 236.50 cr. it posted bumper profit of Rs. 38.69 cr. in a pre-IPO period, that not only raise eyebrows, but also concern over its sustainability going forward. Despite higher other income for FY25, it marked lower net following extra-ordinary item of Rs. 16.97 cr. Its contingent liability stood at Rs. 61.64 cr. as of December 31, 2025, that raises alarm.

For the last two fiscals, the company has reported an average EPS of Rs. 25.00, and an average RoNW of 23.17%. The issue is priced at a P/BV of 2.44 based on its NAV of Rs. 140.81 per share as of December 31, 2025, but its post-IPO NAV data is missing from the offer documents.

If we attribute FY26 super earnings to its post-IPO fully diluted paid-up equity capital, then the asking price is at a P/E of 15.51, and based on FY25 earnings, the P/E stands at 28.44. The issue appears fully priced, based on its bumper earnings for 9M-FY26, which may not be sustained.
