Data Patterns IPO valuation (Overpriced or Underpriced?)

Calculating with its upper price band of Rs 585

Now, the EPS (earning per share) for FY21 is 11.89 so the P.E ratio (price to earnings ratio) comes at 585/11.89=49.20x

If we consider the last 6 months ended Sep-21 EPS which is 4.97, therefore the P.E comes at 585/4.97=117.70x

Now, if we annualise it for FY-21 the P.E appears as 117.70/2= 58.85x

Therefore, the company is asking P.E ranging between 49X to 59X which is reasonably priced

However, there are listed peers like Paras Defence trading at P.E 139x and Bharat Electronics trading at P.E 23x, comparing with peers it seems IPO is well priced.
