OUTLOOK & VALUATION
RR Kabel is a well-established player with strong brand recall and quality products. The company has a diverse product portfolio and an extensive domestic and global distribution network, and it is working on strategies for further enhancement as well. Other than the wire and cable industries, they are also well-positioned for growth in the FMEG segment.
Financial performance has been mixed, where there is growth in revenue and net worth but pressure on its margins with declining profits. The issue size is around 1964 crore, but most of its portion belongs to the offer for sale. Finally, the IPO is coming at a P/E valuation of around 60.5x, which is looking high-priced.
Due to the high valuation and current market sentiments, we will avoid this IPO for listing benefits. However, it could be a good pick for the long term, and investors may consider it during any post-listing correction.

Though the company does not have any listed peers to compare, its valuation is looking high in general. We will recommend this IPO only for high-risk investors.

The company has a competitive advantage since the industry in which it works has substantial entry barriers.
In Fiscal 2021, the company was India's top exporter of industrial salt and bromine.
Financials in Brief
Its revenue increased by 36% and 78% during the course of FY20-22, while its EBITDA margin increased from 24.3% to 41.3%. The company recorded FY22 revenue of Rs11.3 billion, up 53% YoY, and FY22 EBITDA of Rs4.8 billion, up 78% YoY. In comparison to FY21's PAT of Rs666mn and FY20's net loss of Rs362mn, FY22's PAT was Rs1.9bn. From 92% in FY21 to 72% in FY22, ROE has decreased. The business reported 2QFY23 sales of Rs 4 billion, up 99% YoY, EBITDA of Rs 1.6 billion (margin of 40.2%), and PAT of Rs 844 million, up 4.5 times YoY. In FY22, the company's Net Debt/Equity ratio dropped from 11.4x in FY21 to 3x.
Market observers report that the Grey Market Premium (GMP) for the Archean Chemicals IPO is now 70 per equity share. The shares will be allocated on November 16, 2022. On November 21, 2022, the Archean Chemical IPO is most likely to list on both NSE and BSE
In the calendar year 2021, the Indian chemicals industry was valued at US$178 billion, representing approximately 3- 4% of the value of the global chemicals industry, and with rapid industrialization, this market is expected to grow even more. Archean Chemical Industries Ltd. is a formidable player in the bromine, industrial salt, and sulphate potash industry. It has witnessed a significant improvement in its top-line and bottom-line performance in the last three years. Nevertheless, the high debt-to-equity ratio (3.25 based on March, FY 22 consolidated numbers), high product as well as key customer concentration, and restructuring of loans during FY 17-18 make us averse to the issue. Additionally, the 3 years of data is limited for concluding the sustainability of high growth and margins. In short, considering all the shortcomings, investors should consider this issue for listing gains only due to the company’s reasonable valuations and presence in the specialty chemical industry.

600 crore fresh equity shares will be issued in Fusion Microfinance IPO. Apart from these, an offer for sale (OFS) of 13,695,466 equity shares by promoters and existing shareholders is included. Devesh Sachdev, Mini Sachdev, Honey Rose Investment Ltd., Creation Investments Fusion, LLC, Oikocredit Ecumenical Development Co-operative Society U.A., and the Global Financial Inclusion Fund.
The issue comprises OFS and Fresh Issue. Net Proceeds from Fresh Issues will be used to Augment the capital base of the Company.
1) In the previous three years, company margins have been declining. Profits in FY20 were Rs 69.6 crores, compared to Rs 21.8 crores in FY22. Despite a rise in revenues, a decline in margins is a major issue.2) OFS receives Rs 504 crores from the total IPO proceeds, while the firm receives nothing.3) A Covid epidemic has previously harmed the industry. Such pandemics are unpredictable and may have an influence in the future.4) An increase in NPAs might have an impact on the firm.5) The microfinance business in India confronts specific risks owing to the borrowers it serves, which are not often connected with other types of lending.
The microfinance industry has recorded healthy growth in the past few years, with microfinance lenders emerging in good numbers. Fusion Micro Finance is one such company that is among the top 10 NBFCMFIs in India. It offers loans to women entrepreneurs. Its business runs on a joint liability group-lending model, wherein a small number of women form a group and guarantee one another’s loans. The company works with a strong focus on rural areas and has a well-diversified and extensive pan-India presence. The company also has access to diversified and recognized sources of capital and has a good financial track record. Although this company's margins are now in declining mode and it is facing risk due to the category of borrowers it serves, an increase in the level of NPAs could also be a concern for the company. Secondly, the company demands a price-book (P/B) multiple of 1.8 on a post-IPO basis, whereas its peers like credit access command a P/B of 3.3. Thus, considering all the factors, we recommend a Subscribe rating for this issue, but only for high-risk investors with a long-term view.
According to market watchers, the shares of Fusion Microfinance are trading at a premium (GMP) of ₹24 in the gray market today. The company's shares are expected to be listed on the stock exchanges BSE and NSE on Tuesday, November 15, 2022. The allotment of shares is expected on 10 November 2022. The company has said in its draft paper that it wants to use the capital received from this issue to increase its base.

Furthermore, with strong sector macros such as lower hospital bed density in relation to population, lower expenditure on healthcare infrastructure as compared to developed and several developing countries, rising income levels & increasing affordability for healthcare services, and the government's Ayushman Bharat scheme, the healthcare delivery market is expected to grow at a 13-14% CAGR over FY22-26E to reach Rs. 8.3 lakh cr.
With long-term structural factors supporting growth, renewed impetus from PMJAY, and the government's focus shifting onto the healthcare sector, the healthcare delivery market is expected to grow at 13–15%. GHL is one of the largest private multi-specialty tertiary care providers operating in the North and East regions of India and operating under the most popular healthcare brand Medanta. It has generated strong revenue growth in the last 3 years, with a minor setback in FY21. Coming to the offer, the major proportion in this issue is the offer for sale, which could be a limiting factor in this issue. The promoter shareholding would come down to 33% post-IPO, which is another concern; nevertheless, the issuer has good patient volumes and cost efficiency, and its financial profile also shows an increasing trend. Finally, the issue is fairly priced at a P/E of 43 as compared to the average industry P/E of 51.93. Thus, we recommend a Subscribe rating for the long term.
According to IPO Watch, the grey market premium (GMP) for the Global Health IPO is now rs 25 per share. This suggests that the stock will most likely be offered at 361, a 7.44% premium to the IPO price.
The company's shares will be distributed to winning bidders on November 11, and refunds will be issued on November 14. Shares will be credited to the successful bidders' Demat accounts by 15 November, and the stock will begin trading on the stock markets on 16 November.

On Thursday, Bikaji Foods launched an initial public offering (IPO) to obtain funds up to Rs 881 crore. The IPO Bikaji is purely an offer for sale (OFS) by existing shareholders, which means the company would get no proceeds from the transaction. Fresh shares will not be issued in this.
For three trading days till November 7, Bikaji Foods shares will be available for bidding between 10 a.m. and 5 p.m. The IPO consists of an offer for sale (OFS) of approximately 2.94 crore equity shares by promoters and existing shareholders. Bikaji Foods raised 262.11 crores from 36 anchor investors ahead of its IPO on November 2.
Bikaji Foods said in a BSE filing that it has finalized the allocation of 87.37 lakh equity shares to anchor investors after consulting with merchant bankers. These shares were offered to anchor investors for $300 each.
Receive the advantages of listing equity shares on stock exchanges.
Bikaji expects the listing to enhance company exposure and brand image while also offering a public market for equity shares in India.
Bikaji's revenue from operations grew 22.90% to Rs. 1610.96 crore for fiscal 2022 against Rs. 1310.75 crore for fiscal 2021, primarily due to increase in the sale of food products, and an increase in volume and realization of products, in particular, bhujia, Namkeen, papad, western snacks, and packaged sweets, while its net profits stood at Rs 76.03 crore in FY22. For the three months ending June 30, 2022, revenue from operations stood at Rs 419.16 crore and net profit was Rs 15.70 crore.
Due to shifting lifestyles, rising incomes, and urbanization, India's packaged food industry has experienced tremendous growth over the past five years. Currently, pan-Indian demand for regional snacks is booming. Bikaji is a popular brand in this segment and is among the top three Indian ethnic snack manufacturers in India with a pan-India presence. The company has a strong management team and a significant percentage of promoter holdings. It generated strong revenue growth in the last 3 years where revenue improved from Rs. 1082.9 crores in FY2020 to Rs. 1621.45 crores in FY2022. However, the company's margins are on the declining side and a P/E valuation of 95.2 looks expensive. Finally, this issue is a complete offer for sale, and thus we recommend a Subscribe rating, but only for high-risk investors.
The company will finalize the IPO share allotment on November 11 and refunds will be credited to the bank accounts of unsuccessful investors by November 11. The IPO shares will be transferred to Demat accounts of eligible investors by November 14. Bikaji Foods will make its debut on the BSE and National Stock Exchange on November 16.

The next in line would be Patanjali Medicine, which also owns Divya Pharmacy, followed by Patanjali Wellness, which manages hospital and outpatient clinic networks in India. The objective of launching this IPO is to operate 25,000 beds under Patanjali Wellness. It has around 50 such centers and has plans to make it to 100, including IPD and OPD, and then gradually expand on the franchise model.
The last would be Patanjali Lifestyle. Clothing, transportation, cattle feed, and several other newly emerging businesses are all part of Patanjali Lifestyle.

From Rs 8,778.03 crore in FY21 to Rs 9,241.27 crore in FY22, the company's FMCG business revenue rose.
In FY22 compared to FY21, its Ayurveda business generated revenues of approximately Rs 1,273.92 crore.
From Rs 9,810 crore in FY21 to Rs 10,664 crore in FY22, the company's total revenue grew.
Compared to FY21, Patanjali's net profit was down to Rs 740.38 crore from Rs 745.03 crore.

At the national level, they are developing a new indigenous and upright (Sattvik) Multi-Level Marketing model for Natural Nutraceuticals that will benefit the general public's health and prosperity and give accurate information about nutritious food alternatives.
Last year in October, Oyo parent company Oravel Stays Ltd filed a draft red herring prospectus (DRHP) with SEBI to launch an Rs 8,430-crore IPO
The prospectus was approved in January of this year, and the IPO is slated to start soon.
OYO submitted its DRHP with SEBI in October of last year and has now requested permission to file its financial accounts for FY22.
OYO is an online marketplace for travelers to locate hotels and other places to stay. Ritesh Agarwal founded OYO in 2013 to aggregate and standardize services given by budget hotels and hostels across India. OYO Hotels and Homes manages India's largest hotel network.
The intial public offering includes a fresh issuance of shares worth Rs 7,000 crore and an offer-for-sale (OFS) by existing shareholders for Rs 1,430 crore. The business also stated that it will explore offering shares worth up to Rs 1,400 crore in a pre-IPO placement.
According to the sources, SoftBank, which owns 48% of OYO, will decrease its interest in the business, and its share sale would likely account for the majority of the OFS. A1 Holdings Inc (Grab) and China Lodging are two other investors that are expected to sell their IPO stakes.
The issue's global coordinators and book running lead managers are Kotak Mahindra Capital Company, JP Morgan India Private Ltd, Citigroup Global Markets India Private Ltd, ICICI Securities, Nomura Financial Advisory and Securities, and JM Financial Ltd.
OYO is aiming to cut the amount of its IPO from $1.2 billion to $800 million.
Negative market sentiment, pandemic challenges, and investor withdrawal have prompted the business to seek a lower valuation of $7 billion to $8 billion.
The offer consists of a new issue and an OFS totaling 84,300 million. The proceeds from the IPO will be utilized to reduce the company's debt and for other corporate reasons.
The fresh issue component of 70,000 million rupees would be used for repayment/prepayment of certain debt availed by their subsidiaries, 29,000 million rupees would be used for funding their organic and inorganic growth initiatives, and the remainder of the fresh issue would be used for general corporate purposes. The OFS is $14,300 million, with the proceeds going straight to the selling stockholders.
OYO reported a 47% increase in monthly gross book value per hotel in Q1 FY23 compared to the previous fiscal quarter.
In Q1 FY23, OYO recorded revenue from operations of Rs 1,459.3 crore.
The company's Adjusted Gross Profit Margin has steadily increased from 33.2% in FY21 to 40.1% in FY22 and 41.3% in Q1 FY23.
Adjusted profits before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) for the first quarter were 72.66 million Indian rupees (IPO).
Oyo recorded a loss of 18.9 billion rupees ($237 million) for the fiscal year ending March 2022, substantially lowering the previous year's loss of 33.83 billion rupees in 2021
The addendum filed by OYO shows that in the first quarter of FY23, i.e. April, May, and June, the company's sales increased and losses have come down. Gross booking value (GBV) was 24.87 billion rupees in the June quarter and 81 billion rupees in fiscal 2022, up 22% from the previous year.
OYO's revenue from operations in the first quarter stood at Rs 1,459.3 crore. The firm has registered a growth of 47% in gross booking value per hotel in Q1FY23. It stood at Rs 3.25 lakh, which was Rs 2.21 lakh in FY22.
Revenue from customer contracts grew 21% to 47.8 billion rupees for the fiscal year ending March 2022
OYO claimed that its general and administrative expenses have come down by 44.4% in FY22. In FY22, it became 515.4 crores, which was Rs 927 crores in FY21. Employee expenses also declined by 26.5% to Rs 1,117.2 crore from Rs 1,520.4 crore in FY21. Oyo said its 'storefronts' stood at 1.68 lakh at the end of Q1FY23, from around 1.57 lakh at the end of FY21.
Last year, the hotel-booking start-up Oravel Stays announced that it has sustained net losses every year since its inception and that its capacity to attain profitability may be delayed because of the economic consequences of the epidemic.
But now SEBI may consider the IPO document of OYO Hotels after the submission of financials for the second quarter. Considering this speed, OYO Hotels can launch its IPO by the fourth quarter of FY23. OYO submitted its DRHP with SEBI in October of last year and has now requested authorization to file the financial accounts for FY22.
Negative market sentiment, pandemic headwinds, and investor withdrawal have caused the business to seek a lower valuation of $7 billion to $8 billion. Book your IPO today!
Venus Pipes & Tubes Limited (“Venus Pipes”) was incorporated on February 17, 2005. Venus Pipes is a pipes and tubes manufacturer with the sole focus on manufacturing welded and seamless pipes in a single metal category, i.e., stainless steel.
The company has grown well in the last three financial years due to improvements in the commodity cycles and high steel prices. The company’s current capacity utilization is above 90% and the company expects to more than double its capacity using the SME IPO proceeds. Further, they also plan to set up a piercing line for manufacturing hollow pipes with the capacity of 800 MT per month, as their backward integration strategy.
With the piercing plant, they will be able to produce hollow pipes from the SS round bar. Their products are largely used in industries like pharmaceuticals, food processing, etc. The GoI has announced Production Linked Incentive (“PLI”) schemes for boosting the domestic manufacturing in certain sectors, which shall have a consequent positive impact on their order book.
And schemes like Make in India, and Atmanirbhar Bharat that focus on indigenous manufacturing augur well for the company. China export rebate cessation and BIS norms provide industry tailwinds. The company has priced the issue at a P/E of 21.03 based on annualized numbers for FY22 which is slightly above its industry median P/E. Further, the commoditized & cyclical nature of the business and small issue size makes this issue suitable for aggressive investors only with a long term view.

The company has a good track record of execution built on its proprietary technology and has scaled up significantly since its incorporation in 2011 to emerge as the largest fully-integrated logistics player in the country.
The runway of opportunity also appears good given India’s long-term growth prospects and the crucial role logistics plays when it comes to commerce. Another point to note is that, in India, the share of organized players is much lower compared to developed countries.
It reported revenue from operations of ₹4,811 crores for the nine months ended December 21. Annualizing this implies a very strong FY19-22 revenue CAGR of around 57 per cent.
However, the high growth of the company is due to the acquisitions made, organic growth has been slower in comparison to overall growth. The company does not have a past track record of profitability given its focus on growth.
While it has reached near break-even on an adjusted EBITDA basis for nine-month FY22 (adjusted EBITDA margin of negative 0.72%), the profitability at net profit levels is yet to be seen and depends on a lot of variables in the future. Investors need to note that the logistics business is a low-margin business and the scale of operation determines the profitability due to operating leverage.
Nevertheless, the current market environment is not conducive to aggressive risk-taking when it comes to unprofitable companies.
The issue is priced at a Price to Sales ratio of 5.4 (based on annualized revenues of 9 months ending December 2021). We suggest investors enter the company post listing after analyzing how the business evolves in terms of revenue growth and profitability. Thus, we recommend “Avoid” the issue.

LIC's embedded value, which is a measure of the consolidated shareholder's value in an insurance company, is around Rs 5.4 lakh crores as of September 30, 2021. So, at a valuation of ~Rs. 6 lakh crores, the issue is priced at a Price to Embedded Value of ~1.1, which is at a discount compared to its listed Indian as well as global peers. LIC is synonymous with insurance in India and enjoys a huge competitive advantage in terms of brand value, a huge network of agents and behemoth scale.
However, there are concerns with the company like losing market share to private players, lower profitability & revenue growth compared to private players, lower VNB margins and short term persistency ratios, but the valuation at Price to Embedded Value of 1.1 discounts the above concerns.
The company plans to focus on protection products, non-par products, and linked products to improve its VNB margins in the future. The issue has an Rs. 60 discount for policyholders and an Rs. 45 discount for employees and retailers.
Nevertheless, investors must be aware that the business of insurance is long term in nature; therefore we recommend this issue for the long term only.

Life Insurance at 9.8%, ICICI Prudential Life Insurance at 8.4%, Aditya Birla Sun Life Insurance at 5.4% and SBI Life Insurance at 4.2%.
"It is not surprising that LIC has maintained its leadership position amid the Covid-induced crisis," said Madan Sabnavis, chief economist at CARE Ratings Ltd., "due to its vast network across India and strong brand recall among customers."
For the roadshows of Life Insurance Corporation of India's (LIC's) listing, the government will approach large investors who have not yet anchored any initial public offering (IPO) and those who focus only on large public offerings, officials in the know said.
In an effort to connect with more than 180 investors, government officials have started virtual roadshows.
The roadshows are part of the government's preparations for the biggest-ever public listing in India.
The government wants to make sure that there is a good spread among anchor investors and it is not just limited to a few big names.
The Government of India is approaching new investors as well.

The company has mixed set of financials over the few years where the revenue grew in FY20 and fell back from Rs. 9,47.97 cr to Rs 625 cr in FY21. Similarly, profit also declined from Rs. 236.6 cr in the year FY20 to Rs. 132.9 cr in the FY21 which can be attributed due to the pandemic. However, the company's performance returned to normal in the first 6 months of FY22. Vedant Fashions is among the top companies in the Indian wedding and celebration wear segment. The company's financials suffered a setback, which could be due to COVID 19. The issue is valued at P/E 161(x) to its FY21 EPS of Rs. 5.36 and P/BV of 24.42(x) on NAV of 35.45 that seems to be overpriced also the issue is purely OFS based. Thus we assign an "AVOID" rating to the IPO.

Adani Wilmar is an FMCG food company offering most of the essential kitchen commodities for Indian consumers, including edible oil, wheat flour, rice, pulses, and Sugar.
The Company also offers a diverse range of industry essentials, including oleochemicals, castor oil and its derivatives, and de-oiled cakes. The company's products are offered under a diverse range of brands across a broad price spectrum and cater to different customer groups.
The company's product portfolio is categorized into (i) edible oil, (ii) packaged food and FMCG, and (iii) industry essentials.
The Company has shown a strong growth in revenue where it grew from Rs 29,766 cr to Rs 37,195 cr over the period of FY20 to FY21 and during the same period, profit has grown from Rs 460 cr in FY20 to Rs 727 cr in FY21.

It will be the seventh listed company of the Adani Group, which has already established itself as a brand in the FMCG sector. The company is a leader in branded edible oils and packaged foods in India. The IPO is priced at a P/BV of 7x on a NAV of 28.86 and PE of 36x on its FY21 earnings which are slightly lower than its listed peers. Thus we assign a "SUBSCRIBE" rating to the IPO for listing gain and long term.

There has been a lot of buzz in the stock market about IPOs as many IPOs came in the year 2021 and gave extraordinary returns to their shareholders.
Also, people take much interest in IPOs as they find them as a major investment product and provide new hopes to the people.
In other words, investors find new investment hope in these IPOs and as a result of this, the IPO of Zomato, which opened on July 14, was subscribed 1.05 times on the first day of its launching.
The retail investors subscribed to the Zomato IPO almost 2.69 times which is a history in itself. If we talk about the non-institutional investors, then they have put in bids of 13 per cent against the reservation which is a difficult thing to forget in the history of SME-IPOs.
Here, an important question often comes to the investor’s mind: How did the listing price of an IPO decide?
Before getting a dig deep into the whole scenario, let's take a sneak peek at the listing price:
When a private limited company wants to become public for the very first time, it needs to get its stock listed on the major stock exchanges. To complete a process, the company is required to decide the opening price of shares which is known as the listing price.
The launching period of IPO is of three days and post that the investors are allowed to purchase the shares at a given price. Here, the listing comes into place.
Please note that the allocation of shares takes place only after IPO launching.
The IPO listing price is different from the offer price and is decided majorly by the investment bank which is assisting the company during the IPO launching process.
After the successful launching of an IPO on the stock exchange, it becomes available for every shareholder to trade in the stock market.
Now, the shareholders can be actively involved in buying and selling shares in the secondary market.
Several factors will impact how the good IPO gets listed on the stock exchange and how does it affect the IPO listing price:
Demand for a share makes a huge impact on the listing price of an IPO. Hence, the IPO price is also affected by the market demand of the company as the higher the demand, the higher will be the listing price.
The demand for the SME-IPO is affected by numerous factors including the potentiality of a company, its expected valuation, growth sector and more.
Let’s understand the listing process with a suitable example:
If the demand for an IPO is higher, then the chance of that IPO getting oversubscribed more, which in turn makes few of many get a chance to subscribe to it. If it is oversubscribed, many investors will get deprived of the IPO allotment process, and hence the demand surge.
The rising demand makes the IPO firm increase its listing price and hence more investors will trade it in the stock market.
Hence, a high demand, low availability of shares can result in great listing prices and hence great listing gains or vice-versa.
The listing price of an IPO is also affected by the growth prospects of a company. For instance, a company that wants to launch its IPO often comes with several objectives like paying debts, operational costs, which also plays a major role in the listing prices.
If a company comes with the objectives of growing and expanding its businesses, the majority of the retail investors will look forward to the same.
This will increase the orders, which in turn increase the demand of the IPO which eventually increases its listing price. The company is likely to list at a good price if there are any chances for good growth.
A grey market is a place that is considered under regulated but often gets highlighted when it comes to a demand for IPO. It is the extra amount investors pay along with the offer price.
For example: if the offer price of an IPO is Rs 150 and its GMP is Rs 50. This indicated that the investor is willing to pay Rs 200 for the same IPO in the grey market.
An offer to sell an IPO indicates the number of shares that existing investors are willing to dilute in the IPO.
If OFS is more than a fresh issue, it certainly means that there is a reason why current investors no longer want to be part of the company.
This can be a turn-off for some investors. However, this is not always the case. If a company has high growth potential, it can prosper.
However, a large OFS value can adversely affect the list price.
Retail investors play a crucial role in deciding the IPO listing price. As more retailers are looking for an IPO, it further results in deciding the listing price.
A comparative analysis of the stock market analysts can also affect the market sentiments to a greater extent. If the investors are looking interested in a particular IPO and the market sentiments are positive, it is a good indication.
However, if there is a lack of interest of the retail investors, there are higher chances that the IPO listing price is considered low.
These are various factors that have a significant impact on the listing price of an IPO.
Therefore, always keep these factors in mind if you don't know how to choose an IPO listing time in India.
Good IPO listings are those which can give you attractive profits and also help you to increase the visibility of the company.
As stated above, numerous factors help promoters find the listing price of the company which includes investors’ interest, GMP, company valuation and most importantly the demand and supply of an IPO.
