Buyback Type: Tender Offer Buyback Record Date: Apr 22 2022 Buyback Offer Amount: Rs 1082 Crores Date of Board Meeting approving the proposal: Mar 31 2022 Date of Public Announcement: Mar 31 2022 Buyback Offer Size: 1.28% Buyback Number of Shares: 5,69,85,463 Price Type: Tender offer FV: 10 Buyback Price: Rs 190 Per Equity Share
The company primarily makes steel products. I dont think Indian steel industry needs an introduction. The industry has one unit for sponge iron and another for pipes that include feedstock production as well. Valuation: The offer is coming with P/E ratio of 14.4 and P/B ratio of 1.82. In general it looks very attractive. But comparing with the giant peers like TATA steels (4.25 & 1.75) and JSW (8.02 & 2.85), the valuation looks high. The company has yielded good return with RoNW (avg) of 19.85, RoE of 15.5 and RoCE of 19.8. Business potential: Ofcourse, it has a lot of opportunity. Their facility utilization is more that 70 % as an average. From this offering, atleast 50+ cr will be used for capex. Two new plants will be set up to increase the production capacity by 37 % and also they are investing to upscale feedstock production. The company has average trade receivable period less than 30 days. Addition of 40+ cr for capitals will help the circulation easier. Overall, the company has clear plan and future potential. Financials: The net worth of the company is 83 cr, while its borrowings stands at 88 cr. Moreover, borrowings increased gradually (51 - 62 - 76 - 85). Nearly 33 % of the earnings goes to interest. The IPO money may not be used for reducing debts. This disturbs little bit. Post listing promotor (including group) holding will be 67 %. My opinion: The valuation is reasonable, but not the best in the industry. Has good business potential and plans. The debt part is not good. Overall, this good not the best. I will apply in retail category, certainly not in full force, as i have its giant peers already in my portfolio. Disclaimer: This is my personal opinion. Please consult SEBI registered advisors.
Sir with due respect, please see if the following argument is correct.🙏
The increase in turnover must be due to just trading revenue. Actual production might be lesser than last year. Power bill for FY19-20 was 36.55Cr for a turnover of 160 Cr and for FY 20-21 the power bill is lesser than FY19-20 at 33.81Cr for an increased turnover of 254Cr. Funny isn't it? I will definitely not apply.
@Arasan, I have gone through few of your messages/reviews recently. Please accept my sincere appreciations for your efforts with detailed, expertise and unbiased opinion. Keep up the great work.

i think your selection of peers may be wrong one, even this company has shown APL Apollo, Hi-Tech Pipes, Rama Steel Tubes and JTL Infra as its listed peers. you may revise your study according to these peers
@ Nilaykumar, Sir, most of the steel companies, including TATA, JSW, SAIL, Jindal are trading around 5 PE. Please check it.
@MRavichandran, Thank you sir. I just see this as an opportunity to share my view on each public issue. These are certainly not recommendations. I do not really worried about the grades.
@ kl patel, Sir, Thank you for pointing it. In fact i have noted them in the RHP. But my view is, "should i go with full force when i have TATA and JSW in my portfolio?" Anyways, i request the readers to do own research based on our portfolio mix.
@ Vivekk, Sir, my post is purely for educational purpose only. If it is used/reused in constructive way, i will be happy. No one should take this as a recommendation.

@Arasan, Thank you for the analysis and comments about this IPO. Valuations and comparison with peers was also helpful to take a final decision to go for or skip it. Hope you will continue to offer similar comments for upcoming issues.
Are new HNI rules (effective from April 1) applicable for this IPO (closing on April 5)? I want to try as small HNI here, but definitely do not want to take the risk if there is probability of getting 2L/10L worth shares.

Over the last few years, the company has delivered strong sales growth while maintaining a stable margin profile. HPIL is fairly valued when compared to its listed peers.
I am planning to buy in 3 or 4 part till 20 April so you can plan accordingly . 52 week low 125 and High 171 If you buy at 155 and accepted only 33 % then you will earn 7.5% that is good return in 2 months.
Brothers I have seen many ipo with good listing that being rated by David dowda sir as "APPLY", DO YOU THINK EXPERTS THIS IPO WILL GET GOOD SUBSCRIBERS PLEASE GIVE YOUR VIEW

Yes cancel or withdraw your application from angel broking. You need to delete application from where you applied. After you cancel application from angel broking Upi mandate will revoke & Fund will unblock.

Brother Arca, Thanks but I am just a commoner, due to my nature (when in doubt - stay on sidelines), I am not applying any mainboard ipo (applying only SMEs) untill this new rule's implementation is confirmed. (I am not even searching about it) The last discussion that took on the thread created by Arun Sir, where we deduced that new rule will be implemented by Sebi this financial year April 1. My Regards 🌹
Thanks k atar ji ,even i read that thread but then i saw in a website posting kostak as well as 2 lakhs application rate separately that is why i posted this question. I hope others will have any idea about this.
Dear Aniket, avenue,ipo bull,septa,jai mataji,hostpacker,manjitsing,eagleeyemam,owleyes,lekker,lokes,chalak lomdiji and chittorgarh family members..Should we go for apply or skip this ?
Most probably last IPO of this FY, Same old HNI allotment rules No clash with any good or even average IPO, All funds of Uma, SME IPOs will be available for this one. In Richa investors hardly block any fund. All these are good but above all let's wait for expert reviews and financial analysis.I am positive so far.

apply and pray for allotment. IPO will be oversubscribed heavily. Hariom !!!
We need to find out the actual tonnage sold vis-a-vis the last year's tonnage. The increase in turnover and profitability should be because of price arbitrage and not due to increased sales and distribution. This can be disturbing and scary. What is the growth tonnage wise? How many distributors added since last year or say in the last 3 years? What is the component of profit due to increase in the market prices for commodities? There are a lot of information black hole in this IPO.
