Here's what a host of brokerage firms say about the IPO of SEDEMAC Mechatronics: SBI Securities Rating: Subscribe for long-term SEDEMAC Mechatronics is a leading critical application auto component manufacturer specialising in technology intensive components. It designs, develops and manufactures these components in house with a focus on R&D. The criticality of the product portfolio and OEM approvals creates high entry barriers, said SBI Securities. "Revenue, Ebitda and profit growth CAGR stands at 34 per cent, 64 per cent and 123 per cent, respectively between FY23-FY26E annualised. The stock is valued at 62.6 times FY26E P/E on an annualised basis. We recommend investors to 'subscribe' to the issue for the long term. Listing or short term gains are unlikely," it added. Swastika Investmart Rating: Avoid Profit recovery real, but one data point PAT surged 8 times in FY25 —encouraging, but FY24 was a distorted base. Earnings trend needs two to three more quarters of confirmation. The issue is fully priced with no margin of safety, said Swastika Investmart. "At 127 times trailing P/E, the IPO leaves no room for execution missteps. Growth expectations are entirely priced in at the upper band. Considering the stretched valuation and need for earnings consistency, conservative investors may prefer to avoid this IPO for now," it said. Anand Rathi Share & Stock Brokers Rating: Subscribe for long-term SEDEMAC focuses on scalable technologies for large global mobility and industrial markets, with a diversified portfolio across 2/3W ECUs, EV motor controllers, and genset controllers, enabling participation in high volume platforms. It has consistently been a first mover in multiple differentiated and control-intensive technologies, said Anand Rathi Share & Stock Brokers. "The company aims to build a strong market presence by offering a broad range of critical, control-intensive products, rather than limiting itself to a narrow product set. Considering these factors, the IPO appears fully valued and is rated 'subscribe for long term' tag," it added. Arihant Capital Markets Rating: Neutral Industry tailwinds remain favorable, with the ISG market expected to grow at low-to-mid teens CAGR, the domestic EFI ECU market expanding steadily, and the EV motor controller market projected to grow at over 40 per cent CAGR over the next few years. Stricter emission norms and hybridization trends further support demand across both mobility and industrial segments, said Arihant Capital Markets. "While customer concentration and import dependency remain key monitorables, expanding manufacturing capacity, strong OEM integration, and diversification into EVs, gensets, and industrial applications provide multi-year revenue visibility and structural growth potential. The issue is valued at P/E 126.91 times, based on a FY25 EPS of Rs 10.65," it added with a 'neutral' rating. BP Equities Rating: Avoid SEDEMAC commands a P/E multiple of 125 times based on its FY25 earnings and 62 times on its FY26 annualized earnings, which when compared to its peers, seems to be expensive, said BP Equities. "The issue entirely consists of OFS. We suggest an 'avoid' rating to the issue and will reassess our rating in future following sustained business performance and valuation comfort. Ventura Securities Rating: Subscribe SEDEMAC operates a design-to-delivery model, wherein it collaborates closely with OEM customers from product conceptualization to validation and commercialization. It undertakes end-to-end development of electronic control units (ECUs), including embedded software programming, hardware circuit design, calibration, testing, and system validation, said Ventura.
