Lagnam Spintex IPO Recommendation

Before deciding whether to invest in Lagnam Spintex IPO or not, let us examine its strengths and risks related to the company.

Their one of the biggest strengths is their focus on quality and innovation. Also, their management team is quite experienced in the textiles industry. Their decades of rich experience and goodwill in the market provides the business with a competitive edge.

Good relations with suppliers which ultimately helps in fulfilling their orders in a timely manner is a good strength they possess. They also share long-term relationships with their clients and constantly try to cater customer needs with products in demand. No strikes, lockout or any labour protest since inception proves that the relationship between management and labour is also cordial.

Usage of latest technology and machinery procured from suppliers/distributors in the world also ensures production of good quality yarn. The company also has strategies listed out and promising expansion plans.

From the financial point of view, the company has been showing a consistent rise in revenues and profit after tax.

But Lagnam Spintex has shown negative cash flows from its investing activities as well as financing activities in the past years. If this continues, it may adversely affect the profitability of the company as cash flows tell us about the ability of a company to grow, pay dividends, repay its loans and execute expansion plans with relying on loans.

Some of the risks related to Lagnam Spintex IPO are that there is a certain tax-related proceeding, notices and claims pending with relevant statutory authorities at various jurisdictions against the company.

Any adverse rulings may have a negative effect on the business and operations of the company.

Also, the project in which the use of proceeds of the Lagnam Spintex IPO is in progress and the company has not still placed orders for machines and pieces of equipment. Changes in technology may make the current technology obsolete.

Also, the business is subject to seasonal volatility and the cost of production is exposed to fluctuations in the prices of raw material are some other risks related to the company. Their debt financing agreements contain restrictive covenants or lenders’ options that may adversely affect the business.

By looking at the experienced and efficient management, their existing clients and future expansion plans, it may be said that investors may subscribe to the issue. This could be beneficial for them in a long term.

Furthermore, if you are someone who is a risk-averse investor, it is better to let this one go and not invest.
