Borana Weaves has hit the bourses—and it's made quite the entrance.
The stock listed at Rs 243 on May 27, about 12.5 per cent above its IPO price of Rs 216. It didn't stop there. At one point, it touched Rs 255. That's a cool 18 per cent return on listing day, enough to get retail investors excited.
What drove the IPO buzz?
A few things clicked.
For one, Borana Weaves's growth has been anything but boring. Revenue zoomed from Rs 42 crore in FY22 to Rs 199 crore in FY24. Net profit jumped from Rs 1.8 crore to Rs 23.6 crore in that period.
Also, the IPO wasn't cheap, but not wildly priced either. At the upper end of Rs 216, the valuation seemed reasonable given the margins and return on equity (ROE) the company's clocking. The issue was oversubscribed by a massive 148x, led by strong demand from HNIs (high net worth individuals) and retail buyers.
Here's a quick look at the financials.
| Metric | FY22 | FY23 | FY24 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Revenue (Rs crore) | 42.3 | 135.4 | 199.1 |
| Net profit (Rs crore) | 1.8 | 16.3 | 23.6 |
| ROE (%) | 99.4 | 67.6 | 49.5 |
| Approx. EBIT margin (%) | - | - | 14 per cent |
What's next?
The IPO proceeds - Rs 145 crore in total - will go towards a new production unit in Surat and meeting working capital needs. If executed well, this could boost capacity and improve efficiency further.
