The Anup Engineering Ltd - Can it scale up?

Hi there folks, just wanted to know if there is any impact or potential challenges of Trump tariff scenario on this company? Last 3-4 days the price action seem to be not that great which may indicate that there’s some fear. Thanks

ANUP’s export revenue was 46% in the last quarter and the company is targeting to achieve 50% by year-end. Of course, there is likely to be some impact due to the ongoing tariff issues, as they also supply to the United States. If an investor has a long-term perspective on this company, they should not worry about daily, weekly, or even monthly price movements. One should only buy if they believe the stock is at a cheaper valuation and closely track the business performance. Don’t worry about price movements as long as you feel that the growth story remains intact.

Thanks a lot, Avinash.

As per Q4 concall - Management has guided for revenue of 900 cr in FY26, with 20% + EBIDTA margin. With 25% tax outflow, PAT turns out to be around 124 cr ( EPS of 60 rupees).

For FY 27 in a best possible scenario company can do a revenue of 1270 cr, i.e. 1200 at 100% capacity utilization of all 3 plants + 70cr from technical service. Leading to EPS of 85 rs.

Even at 40 PE, I believe upside is very limited.

One key monitorable to watch out for is inorganic growth. Management is looking for acquisition to add capabilities. Hopefully it will fructify soon.
