Recommendation

As per CA Ajay Chouhan, SEBI Registered Research Analyst, recommendation is to ‘Subscribe’ but don’t expect healthy appreciation. Despite, having a few competitors, the company doesn’t have strong popularity in the Indian kitchen market segment due to less expenditure in advertisement and other promotional activities. On the financials front, the company is generating revenue from direct operations at a CAGR of 12.53%. The balance sheet of the company is equipped with long term borrowings amounting at Rs. 204.82 crores, which will be reduced due to net proceeds from fresh issue. This will reduce the interest cost and henceforth increase the profit for the shareholders. The company has turned profitable in last two years and its profit (after tax) has been increased by 450% this year. EBITDA margins of the company are increased by 17%. Stovekraft Ltd. is demanding a P/E multiple of 300.78x (considering the FY20 earnings and the upper price band) which is likely to reduce heavily after debt-reduction while its listed peers TTK Prestige and Hawkins are trading at 55.59x and 46.68x.

Promoter of the Company

The promoters of the company are Rajendra Gandhi and Sunita Rajendra Gandhi.

Peer Comparison

The houseware industry seems to be more promising in the upcoming years. The rising culture of nuclear family in Indian economy will continue to put an uptick in the sales numbers. As people are getting more conscious towards building a modular kitchen in their home, trend will continue to remain strong for houseware industry. The rising income of the people will bend their favor towards more houseware products too. In the listed space, the company will face tough competition from TTK Prestige and Hawkins.
