“In terms of valuations, the post-issue P/E works out to 21.8x FY22 EPS (at the upper end of the issue price band) which is low compared to its peer Aditya Vision Ltd. Further, EMIL has better revenue growth (CAGR of 17%) over 2 years, better return on equity and an expansion plan on the cards. Considering all the positive factors, we believe this valuation is at reasonable levels. Thus, we recommend a SUBSCRIBE rating on the issue,” the brokerage said.

“Being the 4th largest consumer durable and electronics retailer in India and the largest in South India, EMI enjoys favorable terms of pricing/margins from brands due to its scale – this is a key advantage. EMI has demonstrated superior performance among all major consumer durable and electronics retailers in India in terms of growth with revenue CAGR of 26% over FY15-20 (pre-covid) and also managed to deliver respectable ROE of 17.4% during the covid impacted year of FY22. We believe EMI is being offered at attractive valuations at PE of 21.8x FY22 & EV/EBITDA of 9.7x FY22. We recommend subscribing to the issue,” Nirmal Bang analysts said in a note.
