Sanstar IPO Review

BP Equities Pvt Ltd

According to the brokerage, Sanstar has the fifth-largest capacity in the Indian maize-based speciality goods and ingredient solutions sector. The Dhule plant is on track to increase capacity by 1,000 tons per day.

In the previous three fiscal years, the firm has seen constant increase in several financial measures such as sales, profitability, cash flows, and returns, as well as an improvement in its balance sheet position. As we move forward, Sanstar's financial performance is fuelled by its established market position in the industry, growing global footprint, high entry barriers, expanded manufacturing capacities to capture additional market share, and long-term customer relationships, which allow it to capitalise on significant opportunities in existing and future products. The issue is priced at 20.0x on the upper price range based on FY24 profits, which is considered fair. As a result, the brokerage recommends a SUBSCRIBE rating for the topic.
