The vertically integrated model has ensured high levels of growth and margins in a non-cyclical manner. Revenues are up 70.9% over FY19 while net profits are up 7-fold over FY19. EBIT margins and ROCE have also expanded sharply over last 2 years.

Data Patterns (India) Ltd is expected to have a listing market cap of Rs.3,035 crore assigning a P/E ratio 54 times FY21 earnings. However, if we factor in the robust margins and the profit growth over last 2 years, this does appear to be a reasonable pricing for the stock.
