Angel One Report

Pine Labs Ltd. launched its initial public offering today and will conclude on November 11, with a price band of Rs 210–Rs 221 per share.

Pine Labs is raising funds through an IPO of Rs 3,899.91 crore comprising a fresh issue of Rs 2,080 crore and an offer-for-sale of up to Rs 1,819.91 crore.

The fresh issue proceeds will be used for repayment/prepayment of borrowings (Rs 532 crore), investment in subsidiaries for overseas expansion (Rs 60 crore), investment in IT assets, cloud infrastructure and technology development (Rs 760 crore), and the balance for general corporate purposes and inorganic acquisitions.

The shares will be listed on both the National Stock Exchange and the BSE on Nov 14.

At the upper price band of Rs 221 per share, the company’s valuation cannot be meaningfully compared on a P/E basis as it remains loss-making at the net level and on EV/Ebitda its trading at a premium to its listed peers leading to valuation discomfort despite strong sector and company outlook.

Hence, we recommend a “Neutral” rating for investors with a medium to long-term horizon.
