Recommendation / Investment strategy:

  • Based on last financial year EPS of Rs 0.07, the issue price of Rs 10 per share, P/E ratio works out to be 143. Last 3 years EPS of Rs 0.02 translates the P/E ratio to 500. Even last 9 months EPS of Rs 0.25 translates to a P/E ratio of 40.  The P/E ratio of its competitors Bajaj Finserv is 158.7 (Highest) and Nahar Capital is 3.3 (Lowest). Average at the industry level is 13.40. Though company cannot issue shares below Rs 10 per share, the issue price of Rs 10 is very high.
  • Company revenues are inconsistent. In FY 2010 it earned revenues of Rs 1321 Lakhs, however, in FY 2013, it earned just Rs 124.38 Lakhs. It has negative revenue growth in FY2011 and FY2013.
  • Considering inconsistent revenues, poor past record and high issue price, investors should be very cautious about investing in such IPO’s.

  2. Dear Mr Suresh!

    I am 62 and now I want to invest like SIP , share markets etc.  I am new to the field of finance management. What are the options for me. Thank you for your services.

    1. Hi Mr. Varadarasan, Stock market investment are high risk. Since you are senior citizen, I hope you have planned for your retirement. If you still want to invest in stock market, my suggestion is to try investing in large cap funds. If you still want to take high risk, you can look for best IPO’s which keep coming to market now and then. In case there is market fall, you can look to invest in NIFTY50 stocks, but you should be very careful as direct stock market investment are high risk and you may loose money.

  3. Dear Suresh,

    One small suggestion from my end. I have been seeing only SME IPOs in the portal. I request pls include general IPOs which would help the investors like us to invest. Most of these SME IPOs are expensive for retail investors. 

    Thanks

    1. Ravi, IPO’s are where I am analysing as and when they are coming up. Since majority are SME IPO’s, I am doing the analysis. Recently, Miami, Wonderla etc., were non SME IPO’s where I analysed. Keep watching my blog and any non SME IPO’s you can look for investment.
