1. Business Overview: The Compact Spinning Edge

3. Financials: Strong Growth, Improving Margins
The company’s financial trajectory shows a significant shift toward efficiency:
Revenue: Grew 10% to ₹255 crore in FY25.
Profitability (PAT): Jumped 22% to ₹8 crore in FY25. More impressively, they reported a PAT of ₹7 crore in just the first half of FY26, indicating a massive margin expansion.
Return on Equity (ROE): Currently stands at a healthy 15.8%.
Valuation: At the upper price band of ₹104, the P/E ratio is approximately 29x, placing it in a competitive position compared to premium peers like Ambika Cotton Mills.
4. Grey Market Premium (GMP) Update
As of February 18, 2026:
Current GMP: ₹0 (Flat).
Market Sentiment: While the GMP is currently quiet, analysts expect interest to pick up as the company is a "Mainboard" entrant with a strong ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) story due to its solar and wind projects.
5. Strategic "Use of Proceeds": The Energy Pivot
In the textile industry, power accounts for roughly 6-8% of total costs. Shree Ram Twistex is using a majority of the IPO funds to eliminate this expense:
₹46.85 Crore: Setting up a 6.1 MW Solar plant and a 4.2 MW Wind power plant for captive use.
₹14.89 Crore: Repayment of existing debt to reduce interest burden.
₹44.00 Crore: Funding working capital for higher-volume production.
6. Investor Analysis: Pros & Cons
Strengths:
100% Captive Power: Once the solar/wind projects are live, their operating margins are expected to see a permanent structural boost.
No OFS: Promoters are keeping their skin in the game; the entire issue stays within the company.
High-Tech Moat: Use of European technology ensures lower wastage and higher quality than localized competitors.
Risks:
Customer Concentration: A significant portion of revenue comes from a few large clients like Welspun.
Geographic Risk: Over 90% of revenue is currently generated within Gujarat.
Cotton Prices: Like all spinners, they are vulnerable to the volatility of raw cotton commodity prices.
7. Conclusion
Shree Ram Twistex is more than just a textile mill; it is an efficiency play. By using the IPO to become energy-independent and doubling down on value-added yarns, the company is positioning itself for a higher valuation tier. For investors, the H1 FY26 profit surge is a strong signal of things to come.
