Kanohar Electricals IPO review
Anand Rathi said Kanohar Electricals offers exposure to the structural growth in India’s power transmission and distribution sector, driven by rising grid investments, renewable energy integration and increasing demand for high-voltage transformers. However, high customer concentration, dependence on the transformer manufacturing business and reliance on government and transmission utility orders warrant a measured valuation outlook. At the upper price band, the company is valued at 38.6x FY26 P/E and 28.0x FY26 EV/EBITDA, implying a post-issue market capitalisation of ₹5,005 crore.
While the valuation is at a premium to Transformers & Rectifiers (India), the brokerage believes the premium is supported by Kanohar’s stronger recent growth and profitability. Anand Rathi has assigned a “Subscribe – Long Term” rating to the IPO.
Swastika Investmart said Kanohar’s integrated transformer manufacturing and EPC capabilities position it to participate in large power projects. However, the company remains exposed to concentration risk, with 83% of FY26 revenue coming from transformers. FY26 revenue grew 45% to ₹653.8 crore, while PAT nearly doubled to ₹129.7 crore. Strong financial metrics, including ROE of 42.1%, ROCE of 70.1% and a low debt-to-equity ratio of 0.10x, highlight its financial strength. The ₹1,818 crore order book, equivalent to 2.8 times FY26 revenue, provides healthy revenue visibility. At around 34.5–36.3x FY26 EPS, the valuation is considered reasonable compared with peers.
Swastika Investmart recommends the IPO to long-term investors, while noting potential for listing gains subject to market conditions.
Kantilal Chhaganlal Securities said Kanohar commands a premium valuation over Transformers & Rectifiers (India), but believes the premium is justified by its significantly stronger recent revenue and EBITDA growth. Its in-house manufacturing and integrated capabilities could support better quality control, execution efficiency and scalability as transformer demand rises. The brokerage expects rising investments in power transmission and distribution, renewable energy integration, railway electrification and grid modernisation to drive sustained demand for transformers.
Kantilal Chhaganlal Securities recommends subscribing to the issue with a long-term investment horizon.
