IDBI Capital Market Services Ltd, Kotak Mahindra Capital Company Ltd and SBI Capital Markets Ltd are the BRLMs and Karvy Computershare is the registrar to the issue. CARE and CRISIL, both have rated this IPO at IPO Grade 3 indicating 'Average Fundamentals' of the company. The company also floats customer friendly schemes every year and is thus getting more business and fancy.

As far as BRLM's mandate performances are concerned, the first figure is for total mandate and in bracket are for failure to give listing gains. SBI Cap 22 (8), Kotak Mahindra Cap - 46 (13) and IDBI Capital - 16 (8).


Conclusion / Investment Strategy

As far company's performance is concerned, for last three fiscals it has posted average EPS of Rs. 13.40 and for first half of the current fiscal it stands at Rs. 10.60 along with NAV of Rs. 52.08. It has issued bonus in the ratio of 2 shares for every 1 share held in September 2011. Thus the asking price is at around 8.5 P/E on fully diluted equity and is thus priced reasonably compared to its peer that are quoting around 13 to 42 P/E. Considering fancy for gem and jewellery sector counters, investment is recommended.

Reviewer recommends Subscribing to the issue.
