Aegis Vopak Terminals IPO: Should You Subscribe?
Giving a 'subscribe for long term' rating for the IPO, Bajaj Broking in its IPO note said, 'While the company has demonstrated a strong financial turnaround posting a net profit of Rs 86.54 crore in FY24 after a marginal loss in FY23, the valuation requires careful consideration."
It added that based on FY24 EPS of Rs 1 and a NAV of Rs 13.27, the IPO price band of Rs 223-Rs 235 appears expensive on traditional valuation metrics like price-to-earnings, especially as a meaningful P/E cannot be derived due to the company's recent shift to profitability.
'While the company's strategic importance in India's LPG and liquid bulk infrastructure space justifies a premium to some extent, the pricing seems to factor in strong future growth expectations. Investors should view this IPO as a play on long-term infrastructure and energy logistics growth, but must weigh the premium valuation against the company's limited historical profitability and execution risks in upcoming capex projects," said Bajaj Broking.
Another brokerage firm BP Wealth has also granted 'Subscribe' rating to the IPO. 'The company has demonstrated stable financial performance over the last three financial years, aided by its annuity-like business model and long-term customer contracts. The company has managed debt levels, indicating strong financial flexibility to support its expansion plans under project GATI. The company's asset-heavy model and predictable cash flows from storage contracts provide visibility in earnings, making it well-positioned for future growth," it said in its IPO note.
The issue is valued at a P/E of 198.0x on the upper price band based on FY25 earnings. 'Therefore, we recommend a SUBSCRIBE rating for the issue," BP Wealth stated.
Brokerage firm Ventura also granted 'Subscribe' rating to the IPO. It said, 'At the upper price band of INR 235, the IPO is priced at a TTM P/E of 187.7x. While this valuation appears steep, the company's ongoing LPG capacity expansion and planned future ventures into green ammonia present substantial long-term growth potential. We therefore recommend 'subscribe' to this IPO."
Granting 'subscribe for long term' rating to the IPO, Aditya Birla Capital in its note said, 'The company plans to raise Rs 2,800 crore with objective of loan repayment of Rs 2,016 crore and balance for funding expansion capex. At upper price-band of Rs 235, the issue is priced at a ~57x FY25 EV/EBITDA. The aggressive expansion and strong parentage instil confidence in the company, we recommend 'subscribe for long term' to the issue."
Risks
According to brokerage firms, the IPO faces the following risks: 1) Slowdown in India's oil & gas industry; 2) Damage to assets owing to natural calamities or any other reasons; 3) Non-compliance of safety or legal regulations applicable to the business; and 4) Promoters are involved in similar businesses.
Aegis Vopak Terminals has raised Rs 1,260 crore from anchor investors, ahead of its initial share-sale that opens for public subscription. The company is valued at around Rs 26,000 crore at the upper end of the price band.
The IPO is entirely a fresh issue of equity shares worth Rs 2,800 crore with no offer-for-sale (OFS) component, according to the red herring prospectus (RHP). Previously, the IPO was planned to raise Rs 3,500 crore.
Proceeds worth Rs 2,016 crore will be used for payment of debt, Rs 671.30 crore to fund capital expenditure for the acquisition of a cryogenic LPG terminal at Mangalore and the remaining amount will be allocated for general corporate purposes.
Aegis Vopak Terminals owns and operates storage tank terminals across India. These terminals provide secure storage facilities for liquids like petroleum, vegetable oil, lubricants, chemicals, and gases such as LPG, propane, and butane.
The strategic location of the company's terminals near key ports, closer to major shipping routes, offers competitive advantages, including faster evacuation through pipelines, rail, and road, lower delivery costs, and improved delivery times.
The terminalling industry relies heavily on the strategic location of storage terminals. Terminals near major shipping routes and well-connected ports gain a competitive edge by reducing last-mile delivery costs and ensuring faster delivery times.
ICICI Securities, BNP Paribas, IIFL Capital Services, Jefferies India and HDFC Bank are the book running lead managers to the issue.

RIL earnings in next 2 years should be better than last 2: JPMorgan
Live Events (You can now subscribe to our (You can now subscribe to our ETMarkets WhatsApp channel With shares of Reliance Industries RIL ) having underperformed over the past year with just a 2% return, global brokerage firm Jefferies said on Thursday that the blue-chip stock has felt the pressure of large earnings cuts, but growth in the consumer business could drive a rally going Sanjay Mookim said RIL's earnings over the next two years should be better than in the previous two, as weaker commodity EBIT is unlikely to recur given the already low margins.'Consumer business growth should translate better to the bottom line, helping relative performance,' Mookim said in a report, assigning an Overweight rating with a target price of Rs 1, oil-to-chemicals (O2C) segment now accounts for only a third of RIL's consolidated EBITDA. JP Morgan noted that the drag from any margin weakness should be lower, and base effects are favorable for retail and telecom in H1/Q1FY26. This, it said, should support near-term earnings growth.'In the short term, RIL's relative performance to the Nifty has tended to respond to Nifty relative EPS revisions. The unanticipated weakness in refining and petchem margins drove sharp earnings cuts in FY25—hurting stock performance, in our view,' the report Retail and Jio now account for about 54% of RIL's total consolidated EBITDA in FY25.'On our estimates, these two segments will account for almost all of the net EBITDA growth over the next three years. RIL has operated with materially negative free cash flow over the last three years, driven by telecom spending. As that fades, and with an EBITDA run rate of approximately $20 billion a year, we expect Reliance to generate positive free cash flow—despite elevated capex plans at the New Energy complex, in retail, and in petchem capacity expansions,' JP Morgan company guidance of maintaining net debt to EBITDA below 1x also supports the outlook for positive free cash flow, the brokerage said. RIL shares rose nearly 2% following the brokerage report, touching an intraday high of Rs 1,454.50 on the BSE.
