Analyst View

SEBI-registered analyst Aditya Hujband has given an ‘Apply’ rating on the Jinkushal Industries IPO.

Hujband said Jinkushal’s key strengths include its recognition as a Three-Star Export House by the Government of India, a diversified business model that spans machinery exports, mining services, and logistics, and a strong global footprint across more than 30 countries. 

He also highlighted the company's own proprietary HexL brand, which gives the product lines additional strength and positions the company even more favourably in the marketplace.

At the same time, he highlighted several risks associated with the business, including high working capital requirements, exposure to global demand fluctuations for construction and mining machinery, dependence on third-party suppliers, vulnerability to changes in international trade policies, and competition from both domestic and international players.
