Conclusion
The following is a summary of the views from analysts.
According to experts, Aequs Ltd. operates in a high-barrier, niche sector — aerospace precision manufacturing — where very few Indian companies operate at scale. While the aerospace division is profitable, other segments such as plastics and consumer durables continue to make losses. The IPO is priced at a negative P/E due to losses in FY24 and FY25. However, the company has:
Strong global relationships
Vertically integrated ecosystem
Significant capex-driven expansion
Improving order pipeline
Analysts believe that ONLY informed or long-term investors should consider the IPO.
