Recommendation / Investment strategy: Bothra Metals and Alloys average EPS is the last 3 years is approx Rs 2.35. For 6 months ending Sep-2012 is Rs 3.52 (annualized). Post this issue the EPS would be around Rs 3.03 with a P/E ratio of Rs 8. P/E ratios for its peers in the same industry are trading at below Rs 5. Considering this, the issue price is bit expensive.
Thought the revenues are growing year on year, the pressure on margin continues. Currently the profits are @ 3.28% in last financial year. In the long run, unless the margins are in control, there are high chances that the profits would get eroded. All SME IPO’s are not getting listed gains. Investors should think twice before investing in such IPO’s.
