Hyundai's strategy involves focusing on the premiumization of its offerings, with an emphasis on selling passenger vehicles at higher average selling prices. In India, there is a rising proportion of younger car buyers who are increasingly considering factors other than price, such as design, driving experience, safety, advanced features, and aesthetics. Consequently, there has been a shift both between vehicle segments towards SUVs and within segments towards higher-end variants. The average selling price of passenger vehicles in India has shown a compound annual growth rate of 7% to 9% between FY19 and FY24, reflecting this trend.

"Despite the company's growth potential and strong market presence, the issue comes with higher valuations. The P/E ratio of 26.28x is above the industry average of 24.41x and far higher than its parent company Hyundai Motor Global’s P/E of 5x.

However, HMI boasts industry-leading return ratios, with a RoE of 56.82% and RoCE of 62.9%, significantly surpassing the listed peer averages of 23.25% and 21.85%, respectively. We recommend SUBSCRIBE to this issue for long-term gains," the brokerage said. 

"The IPO is fully priced, it could limit the potential upside for investors. As the IPO is an Offer for Sale (OFS), the company itself does not receive any proceeds. Given the significant size of the IPO, it may be difficult to achieve substantial listing gains. 

Investors with a long-term perspective and a willingness to accept potential listing challenges may consider applying for the Hyundai Motor India IPO," the brokerage said. 

Hyundai Motor Company's promoter will offer 14.2 crore equity shares in the offer-for-sale as per the RHP. The IPO does not include any fresh issue component.

The merchant bankers in charge of the Hyundai Motor India IPO are Kotak Mahindra Capital Company, Citigroup Global Markets India, HSBC Securities and Capital Markets (India), JP Morgan India, and Morgan Stanley India Company, while KFin Technologies will serve as the registrar.
