VIP Industries Ltd. experienced an ownership change as a consortium led by Multiples, Samvibhag Securities, and entrepreneurs Mithun and Siddhartha Sacheti acquired a 32% stake in the company.
The new ownership brings strong backers with proven track records in turning around firms, including Renuka Ramnath's Multiples and Samvibhag, potentially signaling a transformation in VIP's strategic direction.
Investec views the new ownership positively, anticipating a turnaround for VIP with improvements in inventory management, pricing strategy, and marketing approach. Safari is expected to benefit from these developments as well.
VIP is trading at 47x FY27E PE with a target price set at Rs 375 by Investec, while Safari trades at 45x FY27E PE with a higher target price of Rs 2,530 due to a stronger growth outlook.
