Financial Health and Future Use of Proceeds​

Tempsens Instruments demonstrated solid financial momentum in FY26. The company’s total income rose by 19% year-on-year to Rs 455.86 crore from Rs 382.47 crore in FY25. Profit After Tax (PAT) also improved, increasing 14% to Rs 71.07 crore compared to Rs 62.56 crore in the previous financial year.

The funds raised are earmarked for strategic growth and debt management. Of the net proceeds from the fresh issue, Rs 18.13 crore will be allocated towards capital expenditure within its electrical heating and specialised cable solutions businesses. A significant portion of Rs 55 crore is dedicated to prepayment or scheduled repayment of outstanding borrowings.

Expert Viewpoint on Valuation and Investment Outlook​

AnandRathi’s research notes that based on FY26 earnings at the upper end of the IPO price band, Tempsens Instruments holds an implied P/E multiple of 35.4x and an EV/EBITDA multiple of 25.64x. The brokerage suggests that while the company’s expanding international footprint and diversified product portfolio support a premium valuation, the IPO appears fully valued at the upper price band.

Despite the premium assessment, Anand Rathi has maintained a “Subscribe: Long Term” rating for the issue, advising investors with a long-term investment horizon to consider subscribing.
