The profit margins have been averaging around 10% plus on a net basis, which should be seen as a positive. The company has an established model with a matured market and a highly lucrative export market to boot. However, investors must remember that this is a traditionally export dependent business and global dynamics can play a big role.

The weighted average EPS of the last 3 years comes to around ₹6.21, so at the upper band of ₹107, the P/E ratio works out to around 17 times earnings. This is at par to above competition and may not leave much scope for appreciation of price post listing. Investors must factor this into their calculations.
