Utilizing advanced 3D modeling and NX (Unigraphics) CAD/CAM software, the team simulates and validates complex component designs prior to production. Additionally, to reduce its carbon footprint and dependency on conventional energy, the company operates a 1 MW solar power plant in Surendranagar, Gujarat, which fulfills 40% to 60% of its total energy requirements.

So as per previous financials data, the company has shown consistent and robust top-line and bottom-line growth, alongside a successful debt reduction strategy that improved its Debt-to-Equity ratio from 1.61x in FY25 to 0.95x in FY26. Company has an average EPS of Rs 7.07 and average RoNW of 45% for the last three fiscals.

If we attribute the latest earnings of FY24, FY25, and FY26 to the expanded equity base post-issue, then the asking price is at a Post-Issue P/E of around 43.26, 20.48, and 14.92 respectively.

On BRLM's front, Smart Horizon Capital Advisors Private Limited are associated with this IPO and Smart Horizon Capital Advisors Private Limited has handled 25 IPOs in the last three fiscal years. (as on 17.07.26) As per financials, Metalic Technoforge Limited has shown excellent revenue and profitability growth driven by an increasing export share and higher capacity utilization - RoNW is 37.00% and the Post-Issue P/E is 43.26, 20.48, and 14.92 respectively as per FY24, FY25, and FY26 earning. So the issue looks attractively priced, but negative cash flow in FY26, higher trade receivables and inventory are red flags. The company is a highly accredited, integrated precision-machined and closed die forged components enterprise offering products starting from basic gear blanks to complex, safety-critical hydraulic and transmission assemblies. So, we give a NEUTRAL rating for this IPO. Readers must consult a qualified financial advisor prior to making any actual investment decisions.
