The Lamosaic India Limited IPO, which opened on November 21, 2024, and closed on November 26, 2024, has been fully subscribed, reflecting investor interest despite concerns over the market outlook. The IPO, with an issue size of ₹61.2 crores, saw a subscription of 1.82 times by the final day of the subscription period. Lamosaic India, a prominent name among architects, interior designers, and homeowners, specializes in the marketing of decorative laminates, plywood, and wooden furniture accessories. The company offers a comprehensive, tailor-made solution ranging from concept creation to design and the supply of laminated doors and furniture.

Lamosaic India IPO Subscription and Allotment Details

The IPO is priced at ₹200 per equity share, with a market capitalization of ₹206.76 crores at the IPO price. The lot size for the IPO is 600 shares, requiring a minimum investment of ₹1,20,000 for retail investors. High-Net-Worth Individuals (HNIs) can invest in a minimum of 2 lots, amounting to ₹2,40,000. The Grey Market Premium (GMP) for the IPO is currently reported as ₹0, indicating a lack of significant pre-listing excitement, which often suggests limited price movement post-listing.

Financial Performance and Growth Outlook

Lamosaic India’s financials reveal strong growth over the past few years. For the fiscal year 2024, the company reported revenues of ₹5,565.72 lakhs, an increase from ₹3,175.85 lakhs in 2023 and ₹1,003.45 lakhs in 2022. The EBITDA for FY24 stood at ₹1,417.20 lakhs, reflecting robust operational efficiency. Additionally, the Profit after Tax (PAT) grew to ₹822.94 lakhs in FY24, up from ₹407.14 lakhs in FY23. These results reflect the company’s strong financial performance.

The IPO is priced at a P/E ratio of 17.68x pre-issue and 25.12x post-issue, which is comparatively attractive against the industry’s P/E ratio of 121.99x. The company’s Return on Equity (RoE) for FY24 stands at a healthy 53.94%, further demonstrating its strong operational returns. However, the Grey Market Premium of ₹0 signals caution regarding listing gains.

Investment Recommendation: Caution Advised

Despite Lamosaic India’s impressive financials and market position, the GMP of ₹0 indicates that there may be limited listing gains. Furthermore, the high valuation and the P/E ratio suggest that the IPO is fully priced and might not offer significant upside potential in the short term.

The Upcoming IPOs in this week and coming weeks are  Agarwal Toughened, Ganesh Infraworld, Suraksha Diagnostic, Property Share REIT, Rosmerta Digital, Avanse Financial and Nisus Finance.

The Current active IPO is Apex Ecotech, Abha Power and Steel, Rajputana Biodiesel, and Rajesh Power Services.

For long-term investment or listing gains, potential investors are advised to avoid the Lamosaic India IPO unless they have a specific interest in the company’s growth trajectory in the decorative and furniture accessories market. Given the current pricing and market response, the IPO may be better suited for investors seeking exposure to the SME segment rather than those looking for quick returns.

Conclusion

While Lamosaic India has carved a niche for itself in the decorative laminate and furniture accessory sectors, investors should exercise caution when considering this IPO. The financial metrics suggest that the stock is priced at a fair value, and with no GMP to indicate strong demand, long-term investors may find this a better fit if they believe in the company’s future prospects, while others may want to stay on the sidelines.
