Emkay Global: Subscribe
Analysts at Emkay Global believe AGS provides an opportunity to invest in a cash-cum-digital play from a long-term perspective. “The IPO size has been toned down to Rs 680 crore. At the higher price band of Rs 175, the stock is valued at 3.7x FY21/3.8x annualized FY22E BV, similar to its peers like CMS Info Systems (recently listed with decent upmove) trading at 4.4x FY21/3.7x annualized FY22E BV and SIS with multiple business lines trading at 3.7x FY21 BV,” they added. Analysts believe that continued focus on ATM/CMS business, digital business scale-up and cost management to drive profitability for AGS.
Choice Broking: Subscribe for long term
AGS Transact is demanding a P/E multiple of 38.5x (to its FY21 earning of Rs. 4.6), according to Choice Broking. This, they say, is at a premium to peer average of 21.8x. “With ease in pandemic restriction, anticipating a ramp-up in ATM deployments by banks and further evolution in the digital payment space, we feel the company is well placed to benefit from its diversified product & services portfolio, varied customer base and multiple revenue streams. Thus we assign a “Subscribe for Long Term” rating for the issue,” Choice Broking said.
Marwadi Shares and Finance have highlighted the high debt on the books of AGS Transact Technologies and have hence given a ‘subscribe with caution rating’. “Considering the FY-21 adjusted EPS of Rs.4.55 on a post-issue basis, the company is going to list at a P/E of 38.46x with a market cap of Rs.21,069 mn,” they added.
Yes Securities: Avoid
Analysts at Yes Securities note that the revenue outlook for the ATM managed services business, which represents 46% of the total revenue of AGS, is tepid. The brokerage firm has given an Avoid rating to the issue while adding that AGS Transact would trade at an FY21 P/E of 37.9x on the higher end of the price band. Yes Securities believes the ATM management has mild growth prospects and with 84% market share there is little room for AGS to grow. On the other hand, the CMS is a fast-growing business for the firm but occupies only 13% of total revenue.
