Valuation Metrics

Pre-Issue EPS (FY24) ₹8.22
Post-Issue EPS (FY24) ₹7.68
Pre-Issue P/E 19.58x
Post-Issue P/E 20.96x

ROCE (FY24) 37.81%
ROE (FY24) 38.88%
RoNW 32.55%

Comment: While the company's return ratios are strong, the P/E is already rich for the SME segment, and listing gains seem uncertain due to lack of momentum in grey market.


Grey Market Premium (GMP)

  • Current GMP: ₹0

  • Implied Listing Gain: 0%

Investor Note:
GMP is an informal, speculative indicator. It currently reflects no significant investor appetite or premium, indicating a likely flat listing.


Strengths

  • Well-positioned in a high-growth sector (cybersecurity).

  • Impressive revenue growth with robust profit margins.

  • Backed by experienced tech-savvy leadership.

  • Serves multiple critical industries ensuring revenue diversity.


Concerns

  • High minimum investment ticket (₹2.57 lakh) for retail.

  • No anchor investors disclosed, suggesting lukewarm pre-IPO interest.

  • Heavy Offer for Sale (OFS) component reduces fresh capital usage.

  • GMP is flat, indicating weak near-term sentiment.

  • Valuation fully priced with limited room for early gains.


Recommendation

Given the strong fundamentals but lack of listing momentum and the fully priced valuation, the IPO appears suitable only for long-term investors who believe in the growth of the cybersecurity sector.

📉 Short-term investors should AVOID due to zero GMP and high entry cost.
📈 Long-term investors may CONSIDER if comfortable with the SME risk profile and sector.


Final Verdict

Investor Type Recommendation
Retail Traders Avoid for listing gains
HNI/SME-focused Investors ⚠️ Apply with long-term view
Risk-averse Investors Skip due to large ticket size & GMP

Conclusion: Meta Infotech is a quality cybersecurity player, but the IPO lacks short-term triggers. It may be worth watching for post-listing dips for long-term entry.
