Brokerage's take
ICICI Direct gives it an 'Avoid' rating and said ether Industries is a niche player in the speciality chemical business and enjoys dominating market share in few select products with high margins. That said, at the upper price band, it is valued at ~58.9x EV/EBITDA and ~72.4x P/E for 9MFY22 (annualised), which looks demanding. The IPO can be AVOIDED due to stretched valuation.
Also, the concerns and risks mentioned are
Derives a major chunk of revenues from marquee customers without having long term contracts with all of these customers
Dependency on certain industries for significant portion of sales
Dependency on certain export incentives
