Scoda Tubes IPO Review

According to Canara Bank Securities has provided insights on Scoda, which is currently valued at a P/E ratio of 30.43x and a P/B ratio of 8.76x based on FY24 projections. These figures are in line with industry averages, which stand at approximately 31.96x for P/E and 9.56x for P/B.

Although there are concerns regarding cash flow efficiency and reliance on key distributors, Scoda's consistent profitability, strategic asset-backed expansion, and favorable trends in the sector contribute to its appeal. As a result, the brokerage suggests that long-term investors consider subscribing, especially those looking to invest in India's precision engineering and export-oriented manufacturing sectors.

SBICAP Securities is valued at 9MFY25 with an annualised P/E ratio and an EV/EBITDA multiple of 21.8x/9.6x, based on the post-issue capital at the upper price limit. During the FY22-FY24 timeframe, the company experienced a CAGR of 44% in revenue, 143% in EBITDA, and 235% in PAT, reaching ₹400 crore, ₹59 crore, and ₹18 crore, respectively.

According to industry forecasts, the Indian SS pipes and tubes sector is expected to grow significantly, with a projected CAGR of 6% - 8% for the FY24-FY29E period. The brokerage advises investors to SUBSCRIBE to the issue at the cut-off price.

According to Sachin Jasuja, Founding partner and Head of Equities at Centricity, Scoda Tubes is a stainless-steel tubes and pipes manufacturer with 14+ years of experience, focused on seamless products backed by backward integration via an in-house hot piercing mill. It serves diverse industries like oil & gas, power, and pharma, both domestically and across 11 countries. One-third of revenue comes from exports, and ongoing global market uncertainty remains a key risk. The company offers job work services and holds quality certifications and approvals from major PSU and private clients.

“Financially, Scoda maintains decent metrics (ROE/ROCE ~13.5%, margins ~12%). However, growth has moderated in the last 9 months, and an earnings CAGR above 20% seems unlikely. Current valuations (implied P/E ~35–40) appear fair. Overall, Scoda presents a stable but moderately growing business with reasonable financial and expansion potential, though near-term upside may be capped without stronger demand visibility,” said Jasuja.
