Reasons not to invest in an Unishire Urban Infra IPO

  • Company revenues are not consistent. Its revenues have significantly increased only last financial year and in the first 7 months of this financial year. We need to wait and see about consistent performance in revenues.
  • The company incurred a loss for 2 financial years out of 5 financial years. Though revenues has increased dramatically in FY 2012-13 to Rs 478 Lakhs, it incurred a loss of Rs 12,000 in that year.
  • The IPO’s listed on the BSE SME platform are trading on low volume and  liquidity is an issue.

Recommendation / Investment strategy:

  • Average EPS for the last 3 years is Rs 0.06. At issue price of Rs 10, this translates to a P/E ratio of 169.08. We cannot compare FY-12-13 EPS as it incurred a loss. It peers like Aricent Infra Ltd are trading at a P/E ratio of 310.5 (Highest) and Lok Housing Ltd at P/E ratio of 3.8 (Lowest). Hence the issue price of Unishire Urban Infra IPO looks expensive for such SME IPO where it incurred a loss in the last financial year.
  • Though there is a sudden jump in revenues in last 19 months ended Oct-2013, the profits it received in 7 months ended Oct-13 are still questionable unless we see consistent margins.

Considering above facts, my suggestion to investors is to stay away from such investments in IPO.
