“At a higher price band of Rs 306, SMEL is demanding a TTM EV/EBITDA multiple of 8.6x, which is at a premium to the peer average of 6.4x. Despite factoring in an exponential rise in EBITDA in Q4 FY21, the company still appears to be overvalued compared to its peers,” said Choice Broking.

With favourable macros for steel consumption, a cautious view of the international steel prices, and a higher demanded valuation, the brokerage assigned a “Subscribe with Caution” rating for the issue.
