Recommendation / Investment strategy


  • At an issue price of Rs 19 and EPS for FY 2013-14 of Rs 3.25, P/E Ratio works out to be 5.85. At an issue price of Rs 19 and weighted average EPS of Rs 2.67, P/E Ratio works out to be 7.13.
  • Means, company is asking for share price where P/E ratio is between 5.85 to 7.13 There is no listed company exclusively in similar business, hence we cannot compare whether the share price is high or low. However, its NAV before the issue is 18.90 and after IPO issue, it would be 17.63. Hence, we can assume issue price is reasonably priced.
  • Jiya Eco Products Limited revenues show good improvement in last 3 years. Margins are also impressive. Considering risk factors indicated above, one can subscribe to this IPO. This unique business model can make this company successful and I hope investors of this IPO would enjoy good returns.

  1. Sir I have applied 3 application for jiya eco ipo. Should I will get listing gain above15 percent?

  2. My brokerage house is Kotak but in Live IPO section there is no IPO issue. How to buy Jiya Eco? Is there other way?

      1. Hi Suresh, I have a Trading account with Reliance money. Even I do not see any SME IPO listing in IPO section for applying. But I see that I can Trade, when the market open for these stocks. If I find any SME IPO as good, then I apply via SBI ASBA option. (SBI ASBA options is available only for BSE SME IPOs. It does not support NSE SME IPOs). If I get shares, They credit those shares in RMoney account and I can trade them there. I did this for ADCC Infocad and Filtra SME IPOs.

        After seeing the reviews, I applied for this IPO too.
