Recommendation / Investment strategy – Dilip Buildcon IPO

• On the upper price band of Rs 219 and on FY15 EPS of Rs 8.19, P/E ratio works out to 15.6x. Similarly, on last 3 years EPS of Rs 13.75, P/E Ratio works out to 26.7x. Means company is asking the upper band of issue price of Rs 219 for a P/E ratio between 15.6x to 26.7x. As per prospectus is peers are trading in P/E ratio of 15x to 39x. Hence the company issue price is reasonably priced. These nos may change once company announces FY16 financials.
• Company revenues grew at 58% CAGR in last 5 years. Its issue price is reasonably priced. However, its profits are on declining mode which is major concern.  High risk investors can invest in this IPO for medium to long term perspective. However, one may not expect any listing gains. If you get listing gains, you can do party.

Note: Company held a Analyst meet few days back. Some of the analysts have started writing only positive features of the IPO. One should review both positive and hidden factors before investing in an IPO.
