Expert take

Santosh Meena, Head of Research, Swastika Investmart Ltd. said: Ather Ltd. has debuted at Rs. 704 i.e. 10 percent above its issue price. The company’s good listing can be attributed to a recovery in market sentiments, outstanding growth prospects of the company, and a good response from the investors. The company is one of the fastest-growing specialty chemical companies in India, having a high focus on d R&D, relying on differentiated chemistry and technological core competencies, and a robust product selection process.

The Indian chemical industry is witnessing a structural change due to the shift of manufacturing activities from China to India and the focus on green chemistry. The issue was priced at a P/E of 72.30 based on annualized FY22 numbers. However, we believe that the company deserves this premium multiple due to its phenomenal growth prospects. Those who applied for listing gains can maintain a stop loss of Rs. 675. New investors can buy for the long term and existing investors are recommended to stay invested in the company, Meena added.
