2. Financial Performance: Scaling Towards 2026
CKK Retail Mart has shown aggressive growth, moving from a general trader to a specialized distributor.
Revenue Momentum: Revenue grew from ₹103.27 Cr in FY23 to ₹301.19 Cr in FY25. For the first half of FY26 (H1 ending Sept 2025), the company has already clocked ₹159.93 Cr, on track to beat last year's performance.
Profitability: Net Profit (PAT) for FY25 stood at ₹16.36 Cr, a significant jump from ₹4.51 Cr in FY23.
Debt Status: The company operates with a very healthy balance sheet, showing Total Borrowing of ₹0 Cr as of March 2025.
Key Ratios:
ROE: 38.47% (FY25)
ROCE: 51.59% (FY25)
EPS (Pre-Issue): ₹10.94
3. The "Dual Engine" Business Model
CKK Retail doesn't just trade; it uses a structured distribution system to ensure market penetration:
Three-Tier Model: Supplies to "Super Stockists" who handle regional distribution. This lowers working capital needs for the company.
Direct-to-Distributor: Higher margins are realized by cutting out the middle tier and serving large distributors directly.
Digital Pivot: The company is now live on Zepto and Blinkit, capturing the urban demand for its "FruitzzzUp" juice and "Braunz" sugar.
4. Grey Market Premium (GMP) & Sentiment
As of January 27, 2026, the GMP for CKK Retail Mart is currently ₹0 (Flat).
Market View: Market observers suggest a neutral listing. The absence of a high premium is largely due to the high price band and the overall range-bound nature of the SME segment this week.
Peer Comparison: Trading at a post-issue P/E of 18.38x, it is more affordable than its peers like ADF Foods and NHC Foods, which often trade at higher multiples.
5. Strategic "Use of Proceeds"
Unlike some IPOs used purely for debt repayment, CKK is focusing on infrastructure:
₹10.20 Cr: Acquiring leasehold plots and existing warehouses in Kolhapur to stabilize logistics.
₹43.00 Cr: Dedicated to working capital to fuel the "FruitzzzUp" and packaged commodities expansion.
6. Risks to Consider
Sugar Dependency: A majority of the revenue still flows from sugar trading, making the company sensitive to government export quotas and pricing caps.
Client Concentration: The top 10 customers contribute roughly 89.5% of total revenue, which creates high dependency on a few key relationships.
7. Final Verdict: The "Value" SME Play
If you are looking for a company with high ROE (38%+) and zero debt, CKK Retail Mart is a strong contender. While the current GMP suggests a modest listing, the company's entry into Quick Commerce and its ownership of its own warehouse infrastructure provide long-term defensive moats.1.
