“At the higher end of the price band, Heranba IPO is reasonably priced at a PE ratio of ~25.05 times FY20 earnings per share.

Given the company’s steady topline growth, robust margins, good return ratios, strong market share position, low debt and reasonable valuations, we remain positive on the prospects of the issue,” INDmoney said in a report.
