Reasons not to invest in Sadbhav Infrastructure Project IPO
- Company has been incurring losses in last 3 years from FY 2013 to FY 2015.
- Other risk factors (Internal and external) can be read in prospectus Page. SEBI website for this IPO prospectus has some problem to download, hence unable to provide complete negative factors. Would update as soon as it is up.
Recommendation / Investment strategy
- Thought it is asking for Rs 100 to Rs 103 issue price, since it has negative EPS, we cannot ascertain the P/E Ratio.
- Sadbhav Infrastructure Project revenues have been growing aggressively in last 4 years. However, company has been incurring huge losses in last 3 years. For such loss making company, an issue price of Rs 100 to Rs 103 is very very high. Investors should stay away from such IPO’s.
Please note that one of the Leading IPO portal shows that this company is generating profits after tax in last 3 years giving false impressions. The above table of revenue and losses are from Edelweiss which proves that company is incurring losses. Investors should read restated consolidated statements and be careful and should check prospectus from SEBI website before believing such false statements.

One should NOT constitute this as investment advice to buy or not to buy. Please consult your investment advisor before you invest in such high risk investment options.
