Here’s what key brokerages say:

Anand Rathi:

The company has recently expanded their business by entering a new business vertical of design, engineering, fabrication and manufacturing of pilot plants. Their order book from pilot plants as of December 31, 2023, is Rs 106.08 million whereas the over all order book value stood at Rs 8,287 million, analysts said. 

The company's P/E ratio is 73.2 times its FY24 annualised earnings, with a market capitalization of Rs 14,016.9 million after
the issuance of equity shares and a market cap-to-sales ratio of 1.92 times its FY24 annualised earnings.

The company notably benefits from a solid order book and consistent financial performance. Looking at these factors analysts at Anand Rathi advised subscribing the IPO.

Swastika Investmart:
The brokerage firm stated in a note that DEE has a strong competitive position with established clients and boasts a diverse portfolio of specialised offerings. It also benefits from a robust order book and consistent financial performance. 

However, some key risks necessitate careful consideration. DEE's business is susceptible to downturns in the industries it serves, such as oil and gas, power, and chemicals, analysts said. Additionally, competition from both domestic and international players presents a challenge. Furthermore, losses incurred by its subsidiaries require monitoring. 

“Despite the premium valuation, DEE's market leadership, consistent growth trajectory, and strong order book warrant consideration for long-term investors. Thus, we recommend a 'Subscribe' rating for long term,” analysts at Swastika Investmart recommended. 

Reliance Securities:
According to analysts at Reliance Securities DEE’s increasing focus on high margin products with additional contributions from modular skids and usage of high-grade materials, forging technology tie-ups with select global OEMs is set to derive consistent order flow for the company. This will also make DEE a preferred partner for its clients for the next few years, they said. Hence, the brokerage recommended subscribing to the issue.
