Will Sedmac’s IPO deliver long-term growth for high-risk investors?


ET Intelligence Group: Sidmic Mechatronics, an auto components company, plans to raise Rs 1,087.5 crore through an offer for sale. The promoter group’s stake will drop slightly to 26.2% from 26.4% after the IPO. The company designs and manufactures robust electronic control units (ECU) for leading original equipment manufacturers (OEMs). Its revenue grew at double digits while net profit doubled between FY23 and FY25. However, nearly 75% of the revenue comes from TVS Motors, which reflects the customer focus. Given these factors, investors may consider an IPO with a higher risk appetite.
