The promoter group's stake will fall to 73% after the IPO from 100%. Its product portfolio consists of automotive sheet metal & casting parts, polymer components, suspension & mirror systems. Its recent acquisition of H-One India is likely to improve the product portfolio. However, its operating margin before depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA margin) has been declining since the past two years. The debt-equity ratio at around one is higher than 0.1-0.4 for some of the peers. It is expected to reduce after the IPO, which in turn may bring down interest expenses. Though the IPO valuation is cheaper than peers, investors may wait to see improved financial performance after listing.Incorporated in 1996, Belrise Industries specializes in component manufacturing for automotive & white goods industries. It has also started delivering e-mobility components & subsystems. As of March 31, 2025, the company operated 17 manufacturing facilities across 10 cities in nine states across India. As of December 31, 2024, the company serviced 29 original equipment makers (OEMs) globally. Exports contributed 25% to revenue in the nine months to December. In March 2025, Belrise acquired H-One India, a subsidiary of Japan's H-One Company, to enhance capabilities in metal stamping and fabrication for 4-Wheelers. The company plans to expand the distribution network to over 150 points across India within the next 2 years.Revenue grew by 18% annually to Rs7,484 crore between FY22 and FY24 while net profit rose by 9% to Rs311 crore. EBITDA margin declined gradually from 14.2% in FY22 to 12.5% in FY24. In the nine-months to December 2024, revenue grew by a modest 1% to Rs6,013.4 crore while net profit reduced by 17% to Rs245.5 crore due to higher finance cost and higher deferred tax credit in the year-ago period. EBITDA margin remained constant at 12.8%.Considering the post-IPO equity and annualised net profit for the nine months to December 2024, the company demands a price-earnings (P/E) multiple of upto 24 compared with P/Es between 42 and 80 for peers including Motherson Sumi Wiring India Minda Corporation and JBM Auto

Alongside, it unveiled 17 high-conviction stock picks , signaling a clear pivot toward domestic-facing sectors."Assuming benign risk premium and low yields, we raise the target valuation multiple to 21x (from 19.5x previously)... suggesting potential upside of 6% from current levels,' Nomura said in a note to clients. The firm's new March 2026 Nifty target is based on 21x FY27 earnings, up from its previous 24, Nifty currently trades at 20.5x one-year forward earnings, near the top of its three-year range. Yet, Nomura points to a reassuring spread of -1.4% between earnings yield and bond yield — at the high end of the past four years — to argue that valuations remain cuts in aggregate earnings estimates, Nomura notes that 'there were more beats than misses' in India's Q4 season. Consensus FY26/27 earnings have been trimmed by 2.3%/1.4% since March 2025, and by 7.6%/6.3% since September 2024.
