Given the Management experience in the industry and the Indian cost advantage, Angel Broking believes that the company can post robust growth going forward.

“Advanced Enzyme Technologies has reported a strong CAGR of 23.9% in net profit in-spite of the 14.4% CAGR in sales during FY2012-16, helped by high entry barriers, which also enables the company to get high margins. However, we believe that the company’s scale of operations is small in comparison to its global peers and its business is dependent on few products,” the broking firm said in IPO note.
