While Vedant Fashions did see volatility in sales due to the onset of the pandemic last year, the net margins were maintained above the 20% mark by tweaking the expense ratio to a more stable level. However, this also meant that the ROE has fallen sharply in the latest year and the real test will be for the ROE to bounce back to FY20 levels in FY22 and FY23.
Investment Perspective for Vedant Fashions Ltd IPO
Here is what investors must consider before investing in the Vedant Fashions Ltd IPO
a) Vedant Fashions has a dominant position in celebration wear and owns the total value chain from sourcing inputs to managing dealer networks, giving them better control.
b) Its combination of franchisee model and the EBO front end enables Vedant Fashions to grow the brand and store value at a much lower capital cost that is ROE enhancing.
c) There will be no dilution of equity since it is an offer for sale and the intent of the IPO is just to list the company and make available the equity as currency for inorganic growth.
d) At a post-issue market cap of Rs.21,017 crore and normalized FY20 net profits of Rs.240 crore, you have historic P/E of 85X. That is still expensive if you project 50% profit growth for next year. Amidst a good niche and a solid business model, valuations are definitely on the higher side of comfort. Vedant would fit in for aggressive investors with a higher risk appetite.
