BP Equities believe that the company’s leadership position in the F&F market, product diversification, strengthened distribution network and margin-accretive expansion plans provide long-term growth visibility for the business.

“On the upper price band, the issue is valued at a P/E of 28.5x based on FY25 earnings, which seems fairly valued. We, thus, recommend a ‘SUBSCRIBE’ rating for this issue,” BP Equities said.

According to SBI Securities, Gem Aromatics’ business is working capital heavy due to extended receivable days on exports, higher inventory of mint due to limited procurement period, and higher SKUs to cater to client’s requirements.

“At the upper price band of ₹325, Gem Aromatics is valued at post issue capital FY25 PE of 31.8x which looks attractive than its peers. We recommend investors to SUBSCRIBE to the issue at the cut-off price for the long term,” SBI Securities said.
