JSW Cement IPO: Buy or not?
10] JSW Cement IPO review: Assigning a ‘subscribe’ tag to the public issue, Anshul Jain, Head of Research at Lakshmishree Investment, said, “The IPO aims to fund significant expansion and reduce debt, strengthening its balance sheet for future growth. However, a closer look reveals declining profitability and return on equity despite rising revenues. The company also faces risks from industry cycles and reliance on steel by-products. Despite these challenges, JSW Cement Ltd’s strong brand, strategic growth plans, and alignment with India’s sustainable infrastructure push make it an attractive long-term play. Verdict: Subscribe for sustained value creation.”
Giving the public issue a ‘buy’ tag, Religare Broking said, “At the upper price band of ₹147, JSW Cement is valued at $140 per tonne, which is a bit on the higher side on a relative basis. However, seeing the company’s track record and strong promoter group, we recommend a Subscribe rating for long-term investors.”
Whether one should apply for the public issue, Gaurav Goel, Founder & Director at Fynocrat Technologies, said, “JSW Cement brings strong group backing, a sustainability-focused product portfolio, and a clear roadmap for capacity expansion. However, profitability has come under pressure, with a net loss in FY25, while valuations are steep compared to larger and more profitable peers. At ~29.7x EV/EBITDA, the issue leaves limited margin for safety, especially with weak return ratios. While the long-term growth story remains intact, the current IPO pricing appears aggressive given the negative earnings and subdued financial returns.”
Highlighting the fundamentals of the green cement maker company, Shivani Nyati, Head of Wealth at Swastika Investmart, said, “JSW Cement is among the top 10 cement companies in India. The company is expanding pan-India via greenfield and brownfield projects, aiming to double its grinding capacity. However, revenue growth and profit after tax have been inconsistent over the past three years. The IPO valuation appears aggressive based on current financials. JSW Cement is a growth-phase story. Short-term returns could be volatile due to high valuation and current losses. High-risk investors may apply for minor listing gains and hold for the long term.”
Besides these, AUM Capital and Canara Bank Securities have also assigned a ‘subscribe’ tag to the JSW Cement IPO.
