ISSUE DETAILS/CAPITAL HISTORY:
To part finance its working capital (Rs. 3.72 cr.) and general corporate fund (Rs. 0.45 cr.) needs, SHSJL is coming out with a maiden IPO of 4500000 equity shares of Rs.10 each at par value. Through this issue, the company mulls mobilizing Rs. 4.50 cr. The issue opens for subscription on 30.09.19 and will close on 04.10.19. Minimum application is to be made for 10000 shares and in multiples thereon, thereafter. Post allotment, shares will be listed on NSE SME Emerge. The issue Constitutes 26.81% of the post issue paid-up capital of the company. The issue is solely lead managed by Fedex Securities Ltd. while Link Intime India Pvt. Ltd. is the registrar to the issue. NNM Securities Pvt. Ltd. is acting as a market maker for this issue. The company is spending Rs. 0.33 cr. for this issue proceeds.
 
Having issued initial equity at par, SHSJL issued/converted further equity in the price range of Rs. 13.50 to Rs. 62 per share from March 2010 to June 2019. It has also issued bonus shares in the ratio of 4 for 1 in July 2017. The average cost of acquisition of shares by the promoters is Rs. 11.86 and Rs. 13.78 per share Post issue, SHSJL's current paid-up equity capital of Rs. 12.29 cr. will stand enhanced to Rs. 16.79 cr.
 
FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE:
On the financial performance front, for the last three fiscals, SHSJL has posted turnover/net profits of Rs. 54.48 cr. / Rs. 0.06 cr. (FY17), Rs. 59.03 cr. / Rs. 0.19 cr. (FY18) and Rs. 67.18 cr. / Rs. 0.39 cr. (FY19).  For the last three fiscals, the company has reported an average EPS of Rs. 0.38 and an average RoNW of 2.87%. The issue is priced at a P/BV of 0.75 on the basis of its NAV of Rs. 13.41 as on 31.03.19 and at a P/BV of 1.18 on the basis of post-issue NAV of Rs. 8.50. If we consider FY19 earnings and attribute it on fully diluted equity post issue, then asking price is at a P/E of around 43 against the industry average of 110.51. Although the issue is at par, it appears highly valued based on its financial performance.
 
COMPARISION WITH LISTED PEERS:
As per offer documents, the company has shown Ashapuri Gold, Palm Jewels, Shubhalaxmi Jewel, D P Abhushan and Moksh Ornaments as its listed peers that are currently trading at a P/Es of around 91, 111, 124, 8.4 and 5.37 (As on 27.09.19). Fancy P/Es in some of the peers are purely on account of well-managed market operations.
 
MERCHANT BANKER'S PERFORMANCE:
On merchant banker's front, this is the 9th mandate from its stable in the last three fiscals (including the ongoing one). Out of last 8 listings, 1 opened at discount, 1 at par and the rest with premiums ranging from 1.65% to 56.52% on the day of listing. Thus it has an average track record.


Conclusion / Investment Strategy

Although the issue is at par value, its financial performance is not compelling. The company is in a highly competitive business that has high volume, low margins. SHSJL has just one store and 9 employees. Investors have burnt their fingers in similar kind of issues in the past. Considering listless performance, only cash surplus, risk savvy investors may consider investing in this at par offer on their own risk.
