Valuation Verdict

The IPO is priced at aggressive valuations compared to traditional auto ancillary companies. However, given:

The premium pricing reflects growth expectations.

  • First-to-market advantages in certain control technologies
  • Strong OEM relationships
  • Patented sensor-less technology

  • Multi-market presence

Risk Factors

  • Entire issue is Offer For Sale (no fresh funds to company)

Latest GMP of Sedemac Mechatronics IPO indicates volatile and mixed among leading websites.

While IPOWatch indicates GMP as ₹ 130, other prominent websites like InvsestorGain indicate GMP as ₹ 70 and IPOGuru  indicate the GMP as 60.

However GMP is just an nidication and should NOT be considered as sole reason to invest or avoid.


Should You Invest in SEDEMAC Mechatronics IPO?

Positive Factors

✔ Strong revenue growth
✔ Significant jump in profitability
✔ Low debt
✔ High ROCE & ROE
✔ Positioned in electrification theme

Concerns

✖ High valuation (P/E above 85x)
✖ 100% Offer For Sale
✖ Auto sector cyclicality

Should you subscribe or avoid?

SEDEMAC Mechatronics operates in a niche and high-growth technology segment within the auto electronics space. The company has delivered strong financial improvement in FY25 and maintains healthy return ratios.

However, valuations are aggressive and the IPO is entirely OFS.

My Personal View – Moderate risk investors may wait for listing or better valuations. Long-term investors with very high risk appetite can consider subscribing in moderation for potential growth story exposure.
