Recommendation / Investment strategy


  • On an issue price of Rs 15 per share, based on FY 2014 EPS of Rs 0.29, P/E Ratio works out to be 51.72 times. Last 3 years EPS is Rs 0.26 and P/E ratio works out to be 57.69. Its competitors highest P/E Ratio is 132 (Shristini Infra) and the lower P/E ratio is 1.9 (Zandu Realty). Considering 52 to 57 P/E ratio of Anubhav Infrastructure IPO for the issue price of Rs 15 per share (where it is making thin margins) seems to be high.
  • Though company revenues grew in the last 5 years, thin margins makes this IPO unattractive. We should wait and watch the performance for another few quarters and if this company profits are grown, one can look at investing in such company. As of now, investors should avoid investing in such IPO.
