According to Sushil Financial Services’ research report, Varmora Granito has demonstrated improving financial performance, with Total Income growing 1.4% in FY2025 and 4.7% in FY2026. PAT declined 31.5% in FY2025 before rebounding 79.0% in FY2026, driving diluted EPS from Rs. 1.74 to Rs. 3.05 and improving RoNW to 7.79%. EBITDA margin also expanded to 14.18% in FY2026 from 13.28% in FY2025, supported by a shift toward premium GVT and technical tiles. However, at the upper price band, the issue is valued at around 48.5x FY2026 diluted earnings, broadly in line with the disclosed listed-peer average of 47.1x (range: 28.6x–72.0x), leaving limited valuation cushion. Given the broadly fair valuation relative to peers, the competitive and cyclical nature of the tile industry, and the company’s 23-year track record, premiumisation strategy and deleveraging balance sheet, the report recommends subscribing to the issue.
