Brokerages appear cautiously optimistic. Bajaj Broking has issued a long-term subscribe call on the IPO, citing strong revenue momentum and operational performance.
“Prostarm has a strong balance sheet, with robust cash flow from operations and a healthy return on net worth. The IPO is fully priced, but its leadership in integrated power solutions and growing demand for energy infrastructure make it a compelling story for patient investors,” Bajaj Broking said.
The company’s financials reflect a growth trajectory: revenue rose from Rs 232 crore in FY23 to Rs 259 crore in FY24, and it reported Rs 270 crore in income during the first nine months of FY25. Net profit for the nine-month period stood at Rs 22.11 crore, nearly matching FY24’s Rs 22.80 crore.
