According to reports, Motilal Oswal has also assigned a ‘subscribe’ tag to the public issue, saying, “The IPO is reasonably priced at 26.9x Q1FY25 P/E (on a diluted basis). With Waaree Energies being a market leader in the solar module segment and positive factors like growing global demand for solar energy, strong government focus on the renewable sector, and impetus on the China Plus One Policy, the company is favourably positioned. Hence, I recommend ‘SUBSCRIBE’ on the issue. Given the current buoyant market and high interest for renewable energy-related stocks, the issue could catch investors’ fancy and see listing gains.”
