IPO Review

[Dilip Davda]
AEL is a leader in SLCM machinery that are widely used in infra developments. The company enjoys 75+% in the SLCM market share and thus has virtual monopoly like situation. The company posted steady growth in its top and bottom lines for the reported periods amidst elections. As per historical data, it gets around 35+% turnover in first half and 60+% in the 2nd half. Based on its recent financial performance, the issue appears reasonably priced against the peers’ average. Investors may lap it up for medium to long term.
