Kaynes Technology is an internet-of-things (IoT) solutions-enabled integrated electronics manufacturing company.

The company’s business includes offering built-to-specification products, manufacturing printed circuit board assemblies (PCBA), making smart metres and smart street lights. Kaynes Technology also offers product engineering and IoT solutions to industries as well as common users.

The company intends to use the proceeds of the issue for repaying some of its borrowings, funding capital expenditure requirements for expanding its manufacturing capacity, and for working capital needs.

Analysts at Anand Rathi had said that at the upper price band of the IPO at ₹587 the company was demanding a price-equity multiple of 81.9 its trailing twelve-month earnings and a market cap of ₹3,412 crore. Anand Rathi said, “it is fairly priced considering its decent historical growth, strong revenue visibility and growing demand of automation across underlying industries.”

Besides, Angel One broking had raised concerns about the fact that the company was generating a majority of its revenue from its top 10 customers only. It had recommended a ‘Neutral’ rating on the issue.

Kaynes Technology noted in its red herring prospectus that in Q1 FY23, its top ten customers contributed to nearly 63% of its total revenue.

The company’s profit jumped to ₹42 crore in FY22 from ₹10 crore in FY21. Its revenue increased 68% to ₹706 crore in FY22 from ₹421 crore in FY21.
