Laxmi Organics - Indian Specialty Chem Candidate

Laxmi had a good listing and a good run post listing. The closest peer in terms of products portfolio is Ingrevia which also recently demerged from JLS & started trading. The current valuation for Laxmi seems significantly high given the current financial position and maybe trading at high valuations due to expected Fluro capex which should be quite high margin business, but that is still to fructify in numbers.

The valuation comparison done with Ingrevia is as below which is also detailed in this post of Ingrevia thread assumed at Stock prices of today INR 336 for Ingrevia & INR 202 for Laxmi for simplicity.
