KRN Heat Exchanger IPO: Analysts’ Recommendations

SMIFS in its IPO note said the HVAC market in India is on a strong growth trajectory, fueled by rapid urbanization, rising disposable incomes, and the increasing need for energy-efficient solutions amidst changing climatic conditions. The Indian HVAC industry is expected to expand from $10.4 billion in FY24 to $20.6 billion in FY29. Given the current high dependency on the top 10 customers to generate significant sales, the company intends to focus on deepening its penetration in existing markets and expanding its customer network. This aims to reduce dependency on existing customers, mitigate related risks, and provide an opportunity to tap into new markets. The company has onboarded 48 new customers in FY24 compared with 44 in FY23 and 43 in FY22.

“We recommend to subscribe to the issue as a good long-term investment as the current valuations seem attractive given the huge capex the company is doing vis-a-vis current capacity, add to that the focus on exports further bolstering growth prospects & air-conditioning seeing the best growth among consumer durables in India over the next decade and improving margins leading to even improved return ratios,” SMIFS said in the note.
