OUTLOOK & VALUATION

Azad Engineering stands as a prominent player within its segment, boasting strong, long-standing relationships with renowned global OEMs. Its diverse product offerings and technologically advanced manufacturing facilities position it for continued growth. Additionally, the company's consistent financial track record instills confidence.

However, investors should carefully consider potential risk factors. Stringent compliance and quality requirements inherent in the business, reliance on a limited number of key clients, and global market exposure all require careful monitoring.

Currently, the IPO is fully priced at a P/E ratio of around 50x. While this may appear fully priced, Azad Engineering's strong market position, promising future growth prospects, and current optimistic market sentiment could still present a potential opportunity for investors. Thus, we suggest Subscribe rating for this IPO.

पिछले सप्ताह सोने और चांदी की कीमतों में थोड़ी बढ़ोतरी हुई, जो एक स्थापित व्यापारिक दायरे पर कायम रही, क्योंकि बाजार इस बात को लेकर अटकलें लगा रहे है कि फेडरल रिजर्व ब्याज दरों में कटौती कब शुरू करेगा। इस बीच, क्रिसमस की छुट्टिओ के चलते कीमती धातुओं में कारोबार अभी कम है जिससे कीमते सीमित दायरे में बनी हुई है। एमसीएक्स में सोने की कीमते सीमित दायरे में बनी हुई है। हालांकि, सोने की कीमते पिछले सप्ताह 1.3 प्रतिशत तेज़ हो कर 63000 रुपये प्रति दस ग्राम के स्तरों पर रही और चांदी 1.80 प्रतिशत तेज़ हो कर 75800 रुपये प्रति किलो कर कारोबार करती रही। जबकि फेड के नरम संकेतों ने सोने को 2,000 डॉलर प्रति औंस के स्तर से ऊपर निकलने में मदद की, लेकिन जोखिम उठाने की क्षमता में सुधार होने और निवेशकों द्वारा फेड से जल्दी दर में कटौती की उम्मीदों के कारण इसे और अधिक बढ़त बनाने के लिए संघर्ष करना पड़ रहा है। कई फेड अधिकारियों ने यह भी चेतावनी दी कि केंद्रीय बैंक की ओर से शीघ्र दर में कटौती की उम्मीद जल्दबाजी होगी, क्योकि  मुद्रास्फीति अभी भी फेड के 2 प्रतिशत वार्षिक लक्ष्य से काफी ऊपर चल रही है। फेड अधिकारियों की टिप्पणियों ने डॉलर को इस सप्ताह लगभग पांच महीने के निचले स्तर से उबरने में सक्षम बनाया, और सोने की तेज़ी को सीमित कर दिया। हालांकि, फेड फण्ड फ्यूचर प्रिंसेस के अनुमान के मुताबिक मार्च में 0.25 प्रतिशत की ब्याज दर कटौती हो सकती है। अमेरिका की तीसरी तिमाही और रोज़गार बाज़ार के कमजोर आकड़ो ने भी कीमती धातुओं के भाव को सपोर्ट किया है। सोने में साल 2023 में 14 प्रतिशत और चांदी ने 9 प्रतिशत की रिटर्न दिया है।

तकनिकी विश्लेषण

इस सप्ताह क्रिसमस और न्यू ईयर हॉलीडेज के चलते कीमती धातुओं में सीमित कारोबार रहेगा, हालांकि कारोबार का दायरा सकारात्मक रहने की सम्भावना है। एमसीएक्स फ़रवरी वायदा सोने में सपोर्ट 61000 रुपये पर है और रेजिस्टेंस 64000 रुपये पर है। मार्च वायदा चांदी में सपोर्ट 74000 रुपये पर है और रेजिस्टेंस 78000 रुपये पर है।

RBZ Jewellers manufactures and distributes gold jewelry, serving both wholesale and retail markets. The company's organized manufacturing infrastructure, geographical reach, and risk mitigation systems are promising strengths.

OUTLOOK & VALUATION

Happy Forging is a well-experienced and fourth-largest manufacturer of complex machine components. The company shares along-standing relationship with its large customer base. It has a diversified business model and a track record of consistent growth. The financial performance of the company has also been strong. Further, it has plans for capacity expansion and new business acquisitions.

However, investors should remain mindful of certain business dependencies. Reliance on the top 10 customers, potential pricing pressure from clients, and competition within the industry introduce some risks. Dependence on a limited number of suppliers also merits consideration.

Despite these considerations, Happy Forgings' attractive valuation of 36.44x P/E, coupled with its impressive track record and promising outlook, makes it a worthy investment option for investors seeking exposure to the manufacturing sector.
