DIIs-backed multibagger penny stock under Rs 20: This civil construction company is into expansion of business; details inside!

The stock gave multibagger returns of over 120 per cent from its 52-week low of Rs 8.83 per share.

SEPC Ltd, an engineering and construction company, is expanding its business into the United Arab Emirates (UAE) through the acquisition of a 75 per cent stake in ALMOAYYED Electrical Equipment & Instrumentation Systems LLC (AEEIS). AEEIS is a Bahrain-based company established in 2004 that specializes in electrical equipment, control & automation systems, field instrumentation systems, and transmission, protection & metering systems. They operate in both the UAE and Bahrain.

This acquisition is a strategic move for SEPC Ltd. to gain a foothold in the UAE market, particularly focusing on government projects, including those related to Oil & Gas giant ADNOC. The acquisition is being funded entirely by SEPC's promoter, Mark AB Capital Investment LLC, on an arm's length basis for a cash consideration of AED 1 million. The transaction is expected to be completed within 6 weeks.

AEEIS has shown steady growth in its revenue over the past 3 years, with a total revenue of USD 1,00,55,193 for the year ending December 2023. Their financials show a profit of USD 19,36,394.47 for the same period. This acquisition will not only provide SEPC with a presence in the UAE but also offer access to AEEIS's established client base and expertise in the Oil & Gas sector. Additionally, SEPC plans to rename the acquired entity to SEPC Middle East Engineering & Construction LLC, potentially to strengthen its position in securing projects across the GCC countries.
