Recommendation / Investment strategy: Average EPS for the last 3 years is Rs 0.22. The EPS for the year ended Mar-2013 is Rs 0.35. Company runs on low revenues and margins. Satkar Finlease NAV as on 31-Mar-2013 is Rs 65. Post this issue, the NAV would get reduced to Rs 19.54. Diluted EPS post this issue would be Rs 0.01. This translates to 1800 P/E ratio. Its competitors like Sundaram Finance EPS are Rs 35.80 and IKF Finance is Rs 2.40. Considering all these negative points, my suggestion to investors is to stay away from Satkar Finlease IPO.
