DRE. Reddy, CEO and Managing Partner at CRCL LLP:

The Indian Government’s decision of limiting the export of sugar to 10 MT is not very surprising. The move comes on the backdrop of rising inflation and is made to keep on the rising domestic food prices. 

This decision is in line with the centre’s decision of limiting the export of wheat. This decision will impact the global sugar supply as India is the second-largest exporter of sugar after Brazil. However, it is too soon to say if this restriction will have an impact on the pricing in India.

Rupak De, Senior Technical Analyst at LKP Securities:

Nifty remained directionless during the day leading to volatility in the market. On the higher end, 16400 is likely to remain a resistance over the near term. Support on the lower end remains at 16000-16020. 

Going ahead, the volatility may continue over the near term. Any decisive breakout above 16400 may induce a strong directional move in the market.

Vinod Nair, Head of Research at Geojit Financial Services:

Anxiety of slowing economy & rising interest rates underpinned by soaring inflation continued to haunt the global market. 

The UK and Eurozone composite PMI registered the slowest rise in business activity in the month of May, worsening global investor risk sentiment. 

On the domestic front, while all major sectors succumbed to the pressure, the auto sector bucked the market trend this month gaining on fuel price cut and rise in steel custom duty.

Marwadi Financial Services view on Aether Industries Limited IPO

Considering the TTM (Dec-21) EPS of Rs 8.50 on a post issue basis, the company is going to list at a P/E of 75.6x with a market cap of Rs 79,918 Mn whereas its peers namely Clean Science & Technology Ltd and Fine Organic Ltd. are trading at PE of 82.7x and 80.2x. 

We assign the “Subscribe (With Caution)” rating to this IPO as the company is the sole manufacturer of chemicals namely 4MEP, MMBC, T2E, OTBN, and others, in India. 

However, the company has low and declining Operating Cash Flow to EBITDA ratio which keeps us cautious from a long-term perspective.
