What brokerages recommend on Pranav Constructions IPO:

Here's what brokerages are recommending on the offer:

 

SBI Securities

Pranav Constructions is a leading MMR redevelopment player with an asset-light model, delivering a revenue/Ebitda/PAT CAGR of 30.5 per cent/49.5 per cent/34.2 per cent during the FY24-FY26 period and industry-leading RoCE/RoE of 25.1 per cent/28.9 per cent, respectively, said SBI Securities.

 

"The company has significantly deleveraged its balance sheet, with borrowings declining from ₹538 crore in FY26 to ₹236 crore as of Jul’26. Supported by a strong pipeline of 37 projects aggregating 3.6 mn sq. ft. TDA, consistent addition of 7-8 projects annually, and high entry barriers in redevelopment, PCPL is well positioned to capitalise on the growing MMR redevelopment opportunity. Its strong brand also drives ~60 per cent pre-sales within the first year of launch, supporting cash flows and capital efficiency," it added.

 

At the upper price band of ₹124, the issue is valued at 19.6x FY26 post-issue P/E and 2.2x Mkt Cap/Pre-sales, which remains attractive relative to most listed peers, according to the brokerage. "Considering its asset-light model, superior return profile, improving balance sheet, and scalable business model, we recommend to SUBSCRIBE to the issue at the cut-off price."

 

Swastika

The company has an asset-light redevelopment model that keeps costs under control, while its financials have show a healthy growth, said Swastika.

 

"At around 18.8–19.6x P/E, the IPO valuation looks attractive compared with listed peers. The key risk is its high dependence on one geographic market, along with execution and regulatory risks, it added, suggesting to subscribe to the offer as it appears attractive for long-term investors and listing gains. However, it advised conservative investors to maintain prudent position sizing.

 

Master Capital Services

Pranav Constructions Limited is well positioned to benefit from the growing redevelopment opportunity in the MCGM Region, supported by its strong presence in the Western Suburbs, pure-play redevelopment model, proven execution capabilities and integrated in-house expertise, said the brokerage. "Investors may consider the IPO as a potential long-term investment opportunity," it added.
