The company's offerings as listed on its site include ATM cash management, retail cash management, cash in transit, banking automation, brown label ATM, remote monitoring and multi vendor software etc.

Issue objectives:

This is a complete offer for sale and hence the IPO proceeds will not be received by the company. All in all through the issue, company's shares will make their way on the Indian bourses.

Financials: The company is a profitable concern with no long term debt. For the Fy21, the firm's consolidated profit came in at Rs. 1.7 billion, 31% higher than the previous year's figure of Rs. 1.3 billion.

Valuations and Brokerage's view:

At a higher price band of Rs. 216, CMS is demanding a P/E multiple of 19x (to its FY21 earning of Rs. 11.4), which is in-line to the multiple of the sole listed peer. "Considering the continued vital role of the cash in the domestic economy and the company's diversified product portfolio across the cash management value chain coupled with its dominant market position in the sector, we assign a "SUBSCRIBE" rating for the issue", says Choice Broking.

Experts suggest that given the strong fundamentals of the company and key leadership position, one can bet on the issue for the medium term.

Ankur Saraswat, Research Analyst at Trustline Securities is quoted as saying in a leading daily "CMS Infosystems is coming with an IPO which is basically an offer for sale of ₹1100 Cr. It is a leading market player in the ATM management space. The company has a strong pan-India network, long standing customer relationship with increased business opportunities. It is equipped with an integrated business platform offering a range of products and services. However, pledging of an entire promoter stake, lack of experience of promoters, entire dependence on the banking sector, limited customers and operating in highly regulated and controlled environment with intense competition are few serious concerns."

So, all in all while the valuations and the business model are attractive, the issue also poses some risk which also need to be factored in before betting on the issue for both listing and long term.
