Hero Motors IPO review
Master Capital Services said the growing adoption of electric mobility is creating a new growth opportunity for Hero Motors. Electric two-wheeler volumes are expected to grow at a 40–42% CAGR to 7.5–8.5 lakh units by FY31, while electric bicycle volumes are projected to expand at a 19–23% CAGR. The electric-drive motor market is also expected to grow at a 28–32% CAGR through CY31.
The brokerage said Hero Motors is well positioned to benefit from these trends through its Powertrain Solutions and Alloys & Metallics (A&M) segments. Its Powertrain Solutions business, which includes Gears & Transmissions (G&T) and Bike Powertrain (BPT), has expertise across continuously variable transmissions, EV transmissions, electric motors, integrated drive units and gear sets, providing exposure to both ICE and EV platforms. Its first-mover advantage in e-bike powertrains further strengthens its positioning in the growing electric mobility segment. Master Capital Services views the IPO as a potential long-term investment opportunity.
Meanwhile, Swastika Investmart highlighted Hero Motors’ position as a leading powertrain provider, with a first-mover advantage in global e-bike CVT hubs. However, it noted that the IPO valuation of around 69–74x P/E is significantly higher than the peer average of 50.2x, leaving limited upside cushion.
Swastika Investmart also noted that RoNW has improved to 8.53% and margin to around 10.2%, although both remain below those of key peers. The brokerage flagged customer concentration as another risk, with the top 10 customers accounting for around 73–78% of revenue.
Swastika Investmart has a Neutral view on the IPO, citing the company’s strong business prospects and EV growth potential, while cautioning that the high valuation limits the upside cushion.
