ISSUE DETAILS:
The company is coming out with a Rights Issue (RI) of 16911111 equity shares of Re. 1 each at a fixed price of Rs. 4.50 per share to mobilize Rs. 7.61 cr. The issue has already opened for subscription on October 03, 2023, and will close on October 13, 2023. The company is offering RI in the ratio of 3 for 26 to eligible stakeholders as of the record date of September 23, 2023. The full amount is to be paid on application for the number of shares applied. Post allotment, shares will be listed on BSE and NSE. BHEL is spending Rs. 1.10 cr. for this RI process, and from the net proceeds, it will utilize Rs. 4.51 cr. for capex on expansion plans afoot, and Rs. 2.00 cr. for working capital. 

The issue is self-managed by the company itself, and Link Intime India Pvt. Ltd. is the registrar of the issue. 

Post-RI, the company's current paid-up equity capital of Rs. 14.65 cr. (146526950 shares) will stand enhanced to Rs. 16.34 cr. (163438061 shares). Based on the RI pricing, the company is looking for a market cap of Rs. 73.55 cr. 

FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE:
On the financial performance front, for the last three fiscals, the company has posted a total revenue/net profit of Rs. 226.05 cr. / Rs. 1.67 cr. (FY21), Rs. 283.44 cr. / Rs. 6.27 cr. (FY22), and Rs. 283.31 cr. / Rs. 6.51 cr. (FY23). As the offer document has a copy pest module of financial data info between pages nos. 68 to 152, there appear to be some mismatch/missing links for FY22 and FY23 profit and loss data. However, this data is taken from the other pages (after page no. 152) of the offer documents.

DIVIDEND POLICY:
The company has been paying a dividend of 1% since FY19 regularly. It will continue to follow a prudent dividend policy based on its financial performance and future prospects. 

SCRIP PERFORMANCE: BASED ON BSE WEBSITE DATA: SCRIP CODE: 512608 (FV Re. 1).
The scrip last closed on cum-right basis at Rs. 6.82 on September 21, 2023, and opened on an ex-right basis at Rs. 6.38 on September 22, 2023. Since then, it has marked a high/low of Rs. 6.67 / Rs. 5.71. The scrip last closed at Rs. 6.18 as of October 03, 2023. For the last 52 weeks, it has posted a high/low of Rs. 8.01 / Rs. 3.53. 

The promoters' holding has been constant at 24.95% for the last three quarters ended on June 30, 2023. The counter is well-managed above the RI price to lure investors.


Conclusion / Investment Strategy

The company has posted static financial data for the last two fiscals. The promoters’ holding below 25% remains a major concern. It is operating in a competitive and fragmented segment. Well-informed/risk seekers may park funds for the long-term rewards.
