Anmol Industries IPO Recommendation

Now, let us discuss some of the greatest strengths and risks related to the business of Anmol Industries Limited.

One of the biggest strengths of the company is its well-established brand name and good presence in terms of numbers in the Northern and Eastern parts of India.

Since the company provides a huge variety of biscuits and cakes, they are able to enjoy the customer satisfaction of consumers of different preferences and tastes.

Another major strength of the company is their strategically located manufacturing facilities in different parts of India. They are not only close to their consumer markets but also to the locations from where they procure their raw materials.

The large distribution network has made it possible for them to sell their products to about 1.8 million retail outlets in India.

From the financial point of view also, the company has shown good performance over the last few years. The company has promising strategies for further growth and expansion of their business.

Now, let us discuss some of the major risks faced by the company.

The future profitability of the company depends on the implementation of its growth and expansion strategies. If that does not happen in a timely manner, the company may be adversely affected in terms of decreased sales and profits.

It is exposed to the risk of ever-changing preferences and tastes of customers. Companies’ dependence on third parties for the procurement of raw materials and supply of finished products to consumer markets are also another major risk factors for Anmol Industries.

There is an inherent risk of injury or illness to consumers in the food industry. Any such reported injuries or illnesses can cause negative publicity for the company which may affect its future sales and profits.

The company faces fierce competition from huge companies like Britannia, Parle, ITC, etc. The company is also exposed to the risk of labour related problems like strikes, work stoppages, etc.

The company, its group companies, promoters, Directors, etc. are involved in certain legal proceedings and any adverse ruling in them may pose a risk to the overall profitability of the company.

A considerable amount of revenues of the company come from their sub-brands, “Butterbake” and “Dreamlite” because of which the company’s profitability may suffer if there are any adverse changes in the sales of these sub-brands.

Since the company is into business related to perishable items, it is also exposed to the risk of adverse effects on operating results in case of not managing the inventory levels in an effective manner.

After analysing different aspects of the company, it may be said that investors need to remain careful and go through the Draft Red Herring Prospectus for further details about the company. Investors may subscribe to the Anmol Industries IPO for the long term although the IPO may provide mild short-term returns on investments as well.
