How can the company expect so much of the valuations when the annual growth of the company is mearly 10% P.A. i think the company people have gone crezy. they will have to think about the repricing of the issue if they want it to be fully subscribed.
1. The sales are more or less stagnant for last 5 years.... 257 cr in 2002, 314 cr in 2003, 346 cr in 2004 (15 months), 317 cr in 2005, 366 cr in 2006, 329 cr in 9 months of 2007.
2. Had losses in 2004, primarily on account of high expenditure on promotion and schemes, and high input costs.
3. Barings Ltd bought shares at 143/- (FV:5/-) in 2000. It is getting 25.27% compounded rate of return on sell price of Rs. 690/-, in 7 years time.
4. CDC/SARF/Canzone bought shares at 291/- (FV:5/-) in 2003. They are getting 24.10% compounded rate of return on sell price of Rs. 690/-, in 4 years time.
5. The VC funds are COMPLETELY EXITING from the company.
6. Shares are offered at PE of 10.95 at upper band, based on 2006 figures. Sales figures for 9 months of 2007 are not very enthusiastic. ITC, having much higher brand value, is quoting at PER 25.
The upsides, if any, are limited even in a bull market.
Seems overpriced. benifit for Selling Shareholders (easy sell off / easy exit / too much gain for private equity firms CLSA and Actis along with a foreign subsidiary of ICICI Bank)and too overvalued benifit when listed on BSE/NSE for founder Chairman and Managing Director M P Ramachandran and his family.
I think people are jumping the guns here prematurely. Before crying dont apply let us wait for some of the brokerages come out with their analysis and valuations.. Jyothi has some great products and we are personnaly using some of them for years...Let us see
Hello Rakesh @ 2 How are you related to the promoters??? What research have you done to say 'Its a great issue.... just go for it.'Such a huge premium that the promoters are pocketing.A superb FMCG company like ITC has been stuck at the same level for the last 12 months!What has Jyoti got that ITC is not having?? Pl justify your recommendation. Otherwise you are a saala of the promoters.
Totally rip-off IPO. no fresh capital is being issued at all. only some promotors are off-loading their stake to the public. the company will not get any proceeds from this issue.
looks like a case of rats jumping from a sinking ship
