I was going through the RHP, read something and got a query. On june 3, 2016, L&T alloted 2.67 crore equity shares to themselves at 281 a piece and now offering 1.04 crore equity shares to public at 860 a piece. So, according to them, the value of LTT shares increased from 281 to 860 in few months. When they were planning for an IPO, was it a honest move to allot themselves 2.67 crore shares at such a low price of 281? Am I wrong here somewhere?
If one considers earlier allotments which were @ Rs.10 per share cost of acquisition for promoters is even less than 281 .. The difference between the issue price and cost of acquisition is the price the new investors are paying as goodwill to the existing promoters for having developed the business . That is how the process works . Some promoters are considerate or some are magnanimous or most of them are greedy.
You r not right.Most of the companies issue huge bonus shares, take out reserve by giving huge dividend to themselves before ipo.Interglobe aviation is a classic case which made its reserves negative and gave a huge bonus.In that comparison, its fair
Hi all, There are three IPO''s coming in the next couple of weeks and was little bit confused about Funds allocation. If we apply for L&T and GNA Axels, if not allocated will the funds get un blocked by 21st so that I can apply for ICICI Pru IPO
WARNING - IT shares are coming down and major agency downgraded TCS stocks. Not applying for this IPO and will wait to buy at lower levels after listing. All d best to all who are applying.
About Company: L&T Technology Services (LTT) is coming with public issue of 1.04 cr, which is 10.2% of post offer paid up capital. LTT was incorporated in 2012 only as PES (product engineering services) business by transferring some business from L&T and L&T Info to it. Its top 10 customers accounted for 38% business in Fy16 and 36.2% business in Q1FY2016. Around 80% of LTT’s revenue comes from US and Europe. LTT operates mainly in 5 verticals i.e. transportation, industrial products, telecom & hitech, medical devices and a new vertical, IOT (internet of things) which include smart products, smart services, digital technologies etc. LTT operates from its 12 global delivery centres in india and overseas and its 32 labs.
Financials (consolidated): LTT’s revenue grew by 19% in FY16 from Rs.2643 cr to Rs.3142 cr on consolidated basis. LTT’s PAT grew by 34% in fY16 from Rs.311 cr to Rs.416 cr. LTT has networth of Rs.1092 cr as on March 31st 2016 and Rs.1126 cr as on June 30th 2016. LTT’s NAV is 110 for 3 months of FY17 on consolidated basis. Its diluted EPS for FY16 was 32.1 which gives a PE of 26.8 on issue price of 860. Its diluted EPS for 3 months ended 30th June 2016 is 11.02. Now if I annualise this with 25% growth in the earnings than PE for FY17 comes at 21.4. LTT’s RONW is 38.8% for FY16 which is good. LTT’s operating profit margin for FY16 was 17% and for 3 months ended 30th june 2016 it has operating profit margin of 22.3%, which is again good. Similarly, its EV/EBIDTA is 14-14.5 times, EV/sales is 2.7 times & P/B is around 7.8 times. Now if we compare LTT with Tata elsxi which has EPS for FY16 at 49 resulting in PE of 32. Tata Elsxi has NAV of 124, P/B of 12.5 times, RONW of 40%, EV/EBIDTA of 20 times and EV/Sales of 4.6 times. So comparing all these parameters with LTT, LTT is available at discount. Now if we compare LTT with Cyient whose Operating margin is 13% (less than L&T tech), RONW is 17 (approx. half of LTT), EPS of 30 for FY16 and PE of 16.5. Hence LTT should command premium compared to Cyient. Similarly, Altran technology (global E&RD player) trades at PE of 18.4 for FY17 and RONW of 16% for FY17. Hence LTT commands premium here too. Now if I take 25% growth in LTT’s earnings for FY17 than at EPS of 40.1, PE comes 21.4. So now if I give a 23 PE multiple price comes to 920. So cosidering all this we can expect a premium of 7-8%. With 25 PE FY17 it can touch 1000. On the lower side it can touch 830.
Conclusion : Investors with medium to long term should go for it.
@SRK thanks, it''s very informative. I too got encouraged by your post and did some number crunching myself :) Comparing LTT and TataElxsi, the OPM of TE is ~23%, far better than 17% for LTT. The P/E is 26.79 for LTT and 30.87 (CMP of 1535). RONW is also better. today TE hit 52-week low of 1527. If it comes below 1500, it''s P/E will be under 30. TE is debt free company while LTT has D/E ratio of .18 (as RHP). TE has a longer history too with a renowned TATA brand attached to it. As such, won''t TATA Elxsi a better bet than LTT if TE is available at any value under 1500? Please share your valuable thoughts.

Extremely overpriced since issue price is Rs.860 per share. Fair Value is Rs.281 per share of Face value Rs.2 on account of the following reason: 1. Read RHP Page no.222, para starts with "Pursuant to the order dated 1 April 2016 of the High Court of Judicature at Bombay, sanctioning the scheme of arrangement for reduction in the face value of the equity shares of the Company, the Company reduced the face value of its equity shares.............." 2. Book Value as on date is Rs.110.81 and since this company is incorporated on June 14, 2012 which means it is less than 5 years in the market, book value cannot be ignored"
Conclusion: Do not subscribe to this IPO, since it is extremely overpriced. However, if it still gives listing gains, it will only be because of investors subscribing without any knowledge.
