8. Our View / Recommendation
Analyst Recommendation: SUBSCRIBE
Sushil Finance Research Stance & Valuation View
Karamtara Engineering is anchored by category leadership and consistent, accelerating profitability. Total Income grew from Rs.3,165.36 crore to Rs.4,316.36 crore in FY26 (36.4% YoY), while PAT grew from Rs.139.33 crore to Rs.228.75 crore (64.2% YoY), with EBITDA margin expanding from 10.98% to 11.55% and RoNW improving to 20.78%.
The Company holds genuine category leadership as India's largest integrated manufacturer (by installed capacity) of solar mounting structures and tracker components, backed by deep backward integration (India's largest galvanizing capacity in the solar sector) and a globally diversified export base (over 50 countries, 16 of the top 24 US EPC companies as customers).
At the Rs.241-254 price band, FY26 diluted EPS of Rs.7.83 implies a P/E of roughly 30.8x-32.4x, at the higher end versus listed peers (P/E range 9.65x-30.15x, covering Inox Wind, Waaree Energies, Suzlon Energy, Premier Energies and others), though the Company's RoNW and margin trajectory support a premium.
With 77% of the Rs.875 crore offer being fresh issue directed largely at debt repayment (Rs.600 crore), this materially strengthens the balance sheet while the modest OFS (23%) reflects contained promoter monetization. Karamtara Engineering merits a Subscribe.
