Expert’s take on Afcons Infrastructure
“On valuation parse at the upper price band of Rs 463, the issue is asking for a market cap of Rs 17,029 crore. Based on FY25 annualised earnings and fully diluted post-IPO paid-up capital, the company is asking for a PE of 46.48x, which seems fully priced compared to the industry average of 40-45x. Investors should also look at IPO offers that come with nearly 77% OFS, i.e., Rs 4,180 crore, of a total issue of Rs 5,430 crore, which is a concern for new investors. The company’s advanced equipment base, proven execution capabilities, and strategic market position make it a key player in the infrastructure sector.
