This Recently Listed Kolkata-Based Company Has Potential Upside Of 30%, Says MOSL — Here's Why
The Indian industrial gas market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 7.5% by 2028, providing a favorable backdrop for the company.
Recently listed Ellenbarrie Industrial Gases Ltd. has received a bullish price target with a 'buy' initiation from brokerage Motilal Oswal Financial Services. The company debuted on the stock market on July 1 following an IPO. After the initial gain, the stock performance has been subdued.
The company manufactures and supplies a broad portfolio of gases, including oxygen, nitrogen, argon, hydrogen, helium and carbon dioxide. These gases are integral to essential systems and applications across industries such as steel, pharmaceuticals, healthcare, engineering, defense, energy, and food and beverages.
The Indian industrial gas market is projected to grow to $1.75 billion by 2028 at a 7.5% CAGR, which provides a favorable backdrop.
Ellenbarrie delivered a CAGR of 23% in revenue, 81% in Ebitda, and 71% in net profit over FY23-25, a note from Motilal Oswal said. Moreover, the company has scaled its capacity 4.5 times over FY23-25 to 3,870 tons per day and aims to increase its capacity to 4,630 tpd by FY27.
Given such a track record, analysts estimate the company to deliver a CAGR of 39% in revenue, 49% in Ebitda, and 52% in net profit over the next three years, driven by capacity additions, a better product mix, and market share gains.
They noted Ellenbarrie's aim to improve margins through higher contributions from argon, green energy initiatives, capacity ramp-up leading to operating leverage, and lower power consumption in the new plants.
