An Infrastructure Investment Trust (InvITs) is like a mutual fund, which enables direct investment of small amounts of money from possible individual/institutional investors in infrastructure to earn a small portion of the income as return. InvITs work like mutual funds or real estate investment trusts (REITs) in features. InvITs can be treated as the modified version of REITs designed to suit the specific circumstances of the infrastructure sector.
S Chand & Company is valued at an upper price band of Rs 670 with P/E of 39.20x and EPS of Rs 17.09. The company has only one listed peer, i.e. Navneet Industries Limited which is valued at P/E of 25x with EPS of Rs 4.34 and delivered RoNW of 17.73%. Navneet’s consolidated revenue has grown at a CAGR 11.62% and PAT has grown at a CAGR 8.28%.
As we can see from the financials, the additional growth for the company is at the cost of margins. Margins have been eroding due to higher paper prices and also inability to pass on the cost of customers. Prices in paper industry are soaring up which is affecting EBITDA and PAT margins adversely. As compared to its peer, Navneet Industries, S Chand & Co is lacking in innovation of latest technology through digitization. As dependence on digital media is growing, S Chand & Co which has limited presence in digital space will see contained growth. Also, Navneet Industries has stationery segment as a growing market whereas S Chand & Co is lacking behind in this segment. The education sector currently is growing at a stable rate and competition is intense. In the long run, we expect the company may give returns of about ~10% to its investors which is not so promising. Looking at margins pressure, lower growth prospects and high valuation, we recommend our investors to avoid subscribing to this IPO.
May I know the reason for such an unconditional love for Navneet? To me Navneet ain''t cheap either. Fine, it is the closest peer but it doesn''t mean that we will value both neck-to-neck. Navneet is relatively cheap in some parameters but not in some others.
Actually it growth prospects is also good big upside is on card given it has streamlined its distribution network also demerger talks and NIL debt. Also priced at reasonable multiples.
BTW THAT ARTICLE WAS FROM SOMEONE ELSE I HAVE POSTED THE SOURCE OF THE ARTICLE
The pricing of the IPO is pretty aggressive. This has lot to do with current bullish market. Inspite of it or because of it there is reported to be an attractive grey market premium. While there are no issues with regard to the management or financial fundamentals of the company, the IPO pricing is the scary part. Inspite of marquee investors like Evertone, IFC etc there is a chance of traded price of the share later on may be at or below par of IPO price.Investors need to be cautious. One does not relish losing ones capital for possible listing gain.
We are going to have these discussions every-time when company like this come up with highly priced offer price irrespective of the facts that listings of companies like Sheela Foam defied everybody wrong. That''s the beauty of the market!

We can expect domestic mutual funds anchoring this IPO
Valuation and multiples do not change if we change the face value of the share. Yes, it is priced aggressively and market bull run has lot to do with its pricing I guess.
NEW DELHI: As many as three firms -- Cochin Shipyard, Prataap Snacks and Tejas Networks -- have received markets regulator Sebi''s approval to raise an estimated over Rs 2,300 crore through initial public offerings.
The three companies had filed their draft red herring prospectus (DRHP) with Sebi between September and March and received ''observations'' from the regulator during April 13-21, which is very necessary for any company to launch public offer, as per the latest update.
Cochin Shipyard, Prataap Snacks, Tejas get Sebi go-ahead for IPO

The standalone multiple on FY16 basis looks expensive at 50x. However, accounting for the Chhaya merger, adjusted P/E appears at 34x FY16. Completion of Chhaya acquisition would further strengthen S Chand’s leadership position in the K-12 segment, which would enable it to post 15% revenue CAGR in the near term. We have a SUBSCRIBE recommendation on the issue on the back of growth prospects.
GEPL Capital : Subscribe
S Chand & Company Ltd (SCHAND) stands to gain from operating leverage. At a P/E of 35xs of FY16 EPS. We believe that SCHAND. demands a discount to its domestic peers. We assign a Subscribe rating to the IPO.
LKP Research : Subscribe
We believe that its 7 decade legacy, leadership in K-12 education content market, strong margin & growth prospects have been captured well at the valuations of Rs 660-670 per share where the scrip would trade at 39XFY16 earnings. We recommend a SUBSCRIBE on the S Chand IPO for listing gains.
Angel Broking : Subscribe
considering the company’s leadership position in K-12 market, strong brand recall and pan India reach along with higher revenue/PAT growth (revenue/PAT grew at a CAGR of 33%/36% over FY2012-16 v/s 11%/7.5% of Navneet), we believe that SCCL is rightly placed for further growth. Thus, we recommend a SUBSCRIBE on the issue.
DSIJ.in : Avoid
In the long run, we expect the company may give returns of about ~10% to its investors which is not so promising. Looking at margins pressure, lower growth prospects and high valuation, we recommend our investors to avoid subscribing to this IPO.
Prabhudas Liladhar: However, considering strong parentage, branded portfolio, professional management, reducing debt profile post IPO, good growth opportunity & limited listed opportunities to play the Publishing segment, recommend 'Subscribe' with a long term objective.
When ICICI DIRECT says subscribe then it means DON''T SUBSCRIBE!!!! On 13th October 2015 they gave the same ''Subscribe'' call for CCD ipo and rest is history. You can always go to ipo dash board page of CCD and see it on page no 11.Post no:81 It is our hard earn money let no broker house having their own vested interest persuade us with their honey coated words. Only"SEPTA'''' firmly advised us against CCD.
Anyone tell me S chand and zota ipo ? For investment
Thx in advace

CHAND SAHIB TO AASAMAAN MEIN TARAA DIKHA RAHA HAI AUR HUM SAB ULOO HAME BANNANA RAHAI HAI
Actually Consolidated loss for 9 months is not 30 Crs it actually close to 90 crs yap that is pages 66 RHP (PLS DOWNLOAD AND READ) plus if it was not for increase in inventory the loss would have been worse by another 70 crs making the loss to 160 crs ( normally inventory increase is around 25 crs for the whole year however for some reason nine months ended inventory increase is close to 70 Cr.
This balance sheet is very weak serious u need to ask why would you pay such high premium for 90 crs loss making company for 9 months ended which in fact would be worse by another 45 Crs of inventory adjustment making a loss of 135 crs for 9 months ended
This is worse then i thought i thought say to make a profit of 70 crs for the whole year the last quarter they need to make a profit of 90crs plus 70 Crs
THAT IS IT NEEDS TO MAKE 150 crs FROM 3 MONTHS WHICH IMO IS JUST BIG PIE IN THE SKY
AVOID

CL Educate which was at least better valuation which was also part of education sector where it got listed below issue price recently. IMO one should be cautious and stay away from such IPOs.
I am at least putting financial data to back my argument why I am avoiding this IPO. Just be careful of those who say it good IPO with much financial arguments

SChand IPO Oversubscription
Current Market Estimates:
Category-wise:
1X Net QIB = 145.71Crs – assuming applications of 12.5KCrs. = 86X oversubscription
1X NII = 109.28Crs – assuming applications of 25KCrs. = 229X oversubscription
1X RII = 172,995 Forms – assuming 11L forms. = 6.36X oversubscription (applic-wise) i.e. average 3.46 shares per form
am i missing something 1.low RONW 2. high dilute of equity 3. low margin 4. highly seasonal 5. high valuation
Still market thinks this IPO will be oversubscribed by 100 plus time When no one understands how and why such high demand for a weak IPO, that''s usually a good sign that you''re right
Is this going to be another POWER MECH

Valuation of so many unknown unbranded fragile businesses have gone wild so u need to anchor ur expectation of valuation according to MKT.
