DOMS IPO review

Giving 'subscribe' tag to the DOMS IPO, Dhruv Mudaraddi, Research Analyst at StoxBox said, "DOMS Industries Ltd. is a proxy play on the growing stationery and art products industry in India and holds a significant market share in pencils and mathematical instrument boxes in the domestic market. The company’s focus on backward integration has resulted in cost efficiencies and shortened the market timing for its products which is evidenced in its robust financial performance. The market leadership position, strong brand presence, established international partnerships and a foothold in the export market makes it a formidable play in the stationery industry. However, we believe that the issue is fully priced at a P/E multiple of around 30x annualized FY24 earnings and advise investors to subscribe to the issue for the benefit of listing gains."

Advising investors to apply for the public offer, Hem Securities report said, "DOMS Industries Limited is having leadership position in the Indian ‘stationery and art material’ industry with the widest range of products, driving rapid business growth has strong brand recall driven by high quality, innovative and differentiated products with robust manufacturing infrastructure, & a focus on backward integration to drive efficiencies along with strategic partnership with FILA enabling access to global markets and product know-how has robust multi-channel distribution network with strong pan India presence."

BP Equities, SBI Securities and Swastika Investmart has also given 'subscribe' tag to this public issue. However, Ashika Research and Axis Capital has not rated any tag to this IPO.
