Meta Infotech IPO opens on July 4, 2025, with a total issue size of ₹80.18 Crores, aiming to capitalise on its recent financial growth in the cybersecurity industry. The IPO consists of a Fresh Issue worth ₹20.04 Crores (12.45 lakh shares) and an Offer for Sale (OFS) worth ₹60.13 Crores (37.35 lakh shares). The price band is fixed at ₹153 to ₹161 per equity share, with a lot size of 800 shares, making the minimum retail investment ₹1,28,800.

The IPO will remain open from July 4 to July 8, 2025, with the allotment date set for July 9, 2025, and listing expected on July 11, 2025, on BSE SME platform. With the upper price band of ₹161, Meta Infotech’s market capitalisation will reach ₹303.99 Crores. The IPO is managed by HEM Securities Limited as the Book Running Lead Manager, and KFin Technologies Limited serves as the Registrar. Hem Finlease Private Limited is the Market Maker for this IPO.

Meta Infotech is engaged in providing cybersecurity solutions across India, securing digital infrastructure of companies from various industries including banking, NBFCs, IT, insurance, manufacturing, hospitality, capital markets, and FMCG. The company's leadership comprises Mr. Venu Gopal Peruri, Mr. Mohammed Laeek Abdul Kader Golandaz, and Mr. Rama Krishna Kishore Achuthani, all of whom bring decades of experience in IT, cybersecurity, and business management. Dr. Gaurav Vinod Sharma, their technical lead, holds a PhD in Technology and has over 15 years of domain expertise.

The company has showcased consistent financial growth, making it an interesting candidate for long-term investors. For the financial year ending March 31, 2025, the revenue from operations was ₹22,001.78 Lakh, compared to ₹15,304.66 Lakh in FY24 and ₹10,954.33 Lakh in FY23. The EBITDA stood at ₹2,354.69 Lakh in FY25, improving from ₹1,689.66 Lakh in FY24 and ₹1,049.70 Lakh in FY23. Profit After Tax (PAT) increased from ₹654.32 Lakh in FY23 to ₹1,050.78 Lakh in FY24 and ₹1,450.14 Lakh in FY25, reflecting a clear upward trajectory.

On the valuation front, the pre-issue EPS for FY24 is ₹8.22 and post-issue EPS is ₹7.68. The pre-issue P/E ratio is 19.58x, and post-issue P/E stands at 20.96x, which is significantly lower than the industry average P/E ratio of 167x. The company’s Return on Capital Employed (ROCE) for FY24 is 37.81%, Return on Equity (ROE) is 38.88%, and Return on Net Worth (RoNW) is 32.55%, showcasing efficient capital utilisation.

Despite these promising numbers, the Grey Market Premium (GMP) is flat at ₹0, indicating lack of enthusiasm among retail and speculative investors. GMP, although unofficial, often serves as an early indicator of listing expectations, and the absence of any premium suggests muted demand or overvaluation.

The company intends to utilise the IPO proceeds for the following objectives:

1. ₹1,670.00 Lakhs for repayment or prepayment of certain borrowings

2. ₹120.42 Lakhs for setting up a new office at MINT Sahar, Andheri East, Mumbai

3. ₹90.80 Lakhs for establishing an interactive experience centre at MIDC, Andheri East, Mumbai

4. Remaining proceeds for general corporate purposes

A significant red flag for listing investors is the Offer for Sale (OFS) component, which comprises 75% of the total issue size. This indicates that existing shareholders are exiting, raising concerns about the company’s long-term capital needs and promoter confidence.

Although the company’s fundamentals appear strong and it operates in a booming cybersecurity industry, the IPO is seen as fully priced. Combined with a flat GMP and high ticket size for retail investors, the IPO may not be suitable for those seeking short-term gains.

Experts suggest that unless the IPO witnesses a surge in subscription or changes in GMP sentiment, retail investors should avoid Meta Infotech IPO for listing gains. Those with long-term conviction in the cybersecurity space may consider tracking the stock post-listing for better entry points.

In conclusion, Meta Infotech’s IPO, while backed by a solid business model and strong financials, lacks the immediate appeal for listing day profits. Investors are advised to make a cautious decision and evaluate their risk appetite before subscribing.
