IPO's Strengths

• Towards US$190 billion by 2025-26, India's textile and apparel industry is projected to grow at 10% CAGR. With significant cotton production and expanding exports, this industry is poised for significant growth. 
  
  
• India's textile industry sees promising growth prospects as global pandemic-related needs for personal protective equipment (PPE) drive demand for technical textiles-sustainability efforts and rising disposable income also drive growth, with a projected US$ 209 billion market by 2029. 
  
  
• Approximately 60 million people survive on cotton produced by India, the world's biggest cotton producer. During 2021-22, the Central and Southern zones contributed significantly to the industry's production of 31.2 million bales. 

 

IPO's Weaknesses

There are many risks associated with Piotex Industries Limited, including reliance on third-party manufacturers, equipment breakdowns, vendor reliance, intense competition in the textile industry, and price fluctuations and cotton supply shortages. 

• A contract manufacturer is the only source of production for the company and there are risks, such as vendor dependency and equipment breakdowns. The failure to secure alternate vendors may hamper growth and negatively affect the company. 

• Especially in cotton yarn and cotton knitted fabrics, they face significant competition in the Indian textile industry. The business may be negatively affected by price reductions, sales declines, and lower profit margins as a result. 

• Due to weather and other factors, the price of domestically sourced cotton fluctuates significantly. Cotton prices may be rising, compounded by potential supply shortages and quality problems, adversely affecting their operations and finances.

Dividend Policy

There have been no dividends declared since the company was incorporated. According to the company's financial performance and future prospects, it will adopt a conservative dividend policy. 

 

Conclusion

There is a high degree of competition and fragmentation in the market that the company operates in. Third-party contract manufacturing raises major concerns. The sudden rise in its bottom line from FY23 onwards appears to be a window dressing to raise its valuation. An issue like this can be characterized as a "High Risk/Low Return" bet. The small post-IPO equity base indicates a longer gestation period for migration. A well-informed/cash surplus investor may park moderate funds for the medium term.
