Avalon Technologies IPO Valuation

How the issue prices the company before and after the fresh shares are created.

Valuation Metric Pre-Issue Post-Issue
EPS (₹) ₹11.76 ₹10.44
P/E Ratio (x) 37.07 41.76
Market Cap at Offer Price (₹ Cr) ₹1,267.59 ₹1,427.86

Pre-issue figures use the shareholding reported in the RHP; post-issue figures use the shareholding once the fresh issue has created new shares. The two differ because of that dilution and because post-issue earnings per share are often annualised, so the change can run in either direction. Market capitalisation is calculated at the ₹436 offer price. Compare the post-issue P/E against listed peers before deciding — a premium there is growth you are paying for in advance.
