India’s estimated demand for micro-credit was Rs2,40,000cr in 2008 (Intellecap). By FY2010, Self Help Groups and MFIs had outstanding portfolio of just Rs45,200cr, indicating more than 80% unmet demand. SKSMF is India’s largest MFI, having increased marketshare from 2% to 10% over FY2007-10. In an industry growing at 30%+, larger MFIs like SKSMF to further gain marketshare on the back of scalable best practices and cheap capital(at 70% CAGR over FY2011-12E, SKSMF's marketshare would stand at 14.3%).
@394.Just bcoz something has happened in Kolar it doesnt mean all over India the samething is being followed. Further loans r given to women and there r criterias for providing loans.also the loans r unsecured. I have gone through the complete RHP and I have also visited areas like WB, Karnataka, AP. I am aware of the facts.
I have alread said they charge lesser than money-lenders. However, interest is high. Kolar is my neighbouring district. I know some villagers from that part. They don't lend to some community, police, lawyers, conductors & to people of some areas marked hyper-sensitive.
They lend to purchase house-hold articles. While lending personal loan, they don't check the purpose of loan. You better check-up facts & be clear.
It will sail through as it is large issue & QIB appetite is there. Its performance on browses could be compared to StanChart IDR.
There could be 10% of the cases where money could be utilised for non income generating purposes. But what microfinance companies are doing is great good to the society at large. Had these Microfinance companies not lent money for the poor they would have borrowed money from greedy moneylenders who charge interest @ 60% p.a. (yhis I have witnessed on my own in a tier-2 town). I think over a period of time the interest rate charged by Microfinance companies would come down due to intense competotion.
@376.Chk my message. Now its a fact that SKS IPO subscribed over 10.51 times over all and more than 20 times in QIB. Still monday left for retail.Superb!!
@381 Ravi has gone mad. micro finance institutions doesnt lend money for purchase TV or for any dowry purpose. and when it comes to interest rates the MFI r far better then moneylenders.
SKS KA BHAV 985 VERY HIGH.LOOTNE KI PLANING ACHI HI,AT THIS COST NO OF SHARES WITH GOOD EPS AND PE IS AVAILABLE IN SECONDRY MARKET.WHY DO ONE INVEST IN SKS.
Compared to Banks and Finance Companies & NBFCs it seems expensive based on all valuation parameters like P/E, Dividend Yield and P/BV basis. However, gross revenue of the SKS Microfinance has grown at a CAGR of 176% in last four years ended March 2010 while net profit has grown at a CAGR of 223% over the same period. The high asking valuations are based on this high growth rates. The book value will come-down post issue mainly on account of IPO premium collected. Given its size, the present institutional investors, the recent growth and prospects going forward and the fancy towards the sector, the issue could still give some listing gains.
CONCERNS
The average cost of acquisition of shares by promoters is less than Rs50/-.
It has issued shares in the past 15 months to private equity investors @ Rs.300 per share.
Even after the IPO, the pre-IPO shareholders will hold nearly 77% of the post-IPO equity. This would entitle them to 77% of the net worth. 77% will be owned by pre-IPO shareholders who have contributed in the past one to three years just an average acquisition price of Rs 24.54 to Rs 137.53 (promoters) and up to just Rs 300 for non-promoters.
Another related fact is that out of the total issue size of 1.68 crore shares, more than half or 55.7% shares are put on sale by Sequoia Capital. Investors are going to contribute to the profits of pre-IPO shareholders, especially Sequoia Capital. Sequoia Capital average acquisition cost is Rs 61.18 only and they have been allotted shares in 2007 and 2008 in three tranches at Rs 49.77,Rs 70.67 and Rs 103.91.
Earlier in February, SKS Microfinance's founder and Chairman Dr Vikram Akula sold 9.45 lakh shares at Rs.636 per share to Tree Line Asia Master Fund (Singapore) Pte. The price is 55% premium. Looks like this IPO is exit route to them. The IPO of SKS Microfinance will make the promoters, and other venture capitalists including some private equity funds that have stakes in these companies, millionaires.
According to the DRHP, the key management of SKS Microfinance has decided to sell their stake in the run-up to the IPO under both stock option and stock purchase plans at a significant premium. This raises a larger question of commitment on the eve of an IPO.
Unethical business model. They are lending money for buying a TV or pay dowry. Growth being fueled by healthy profits could result in defaults as competing micro lenders give too many loans to poor borrowers who can't repay them. It’s sub-prime all over again.
Suresh Gurumani - Managing Director's salary is Rs.12.25 lakhs & taken Rupees one crore bonus in 2009. Dr Vikram Akula's salary Rs.1.8 crore p.a. These people are trying to eradicate poverty!
The country’s largest micro financier is exploiting the poorest of the poor in rural India in the name of providing credit access to them. The company charges interest between 27%-36% p.a. on money lent to the poor. The promoters are being profited at the cost of the hapless poor, down trodden and other weaker sections of the society.
A bigger risk is the unusual credit risk involving mass defaults by borrowers. A decree issued by some religious leaders to not pay-back the loans taken from MFIs caused mass defaults in Kolar District of Karnataka last year.
RBI has pulled up MFIs for their high interest rates -- about 25-27 percent. That is about double the rate at which they borrow from banks, but still lower than moneylenders.
Protests were also staged in Andhra Pradesh against MFIs. Such instances could become more common as MFIs scale-up their operation unless they lower their charges.
The Andhra Pradesh government has constituted district level ‘Task Force Committees’ (TFCs) to investigate the unethical practices of micro finance institutions in the state. The committees were constituted after the government received many complaints against the loan shark practices adopted by some leading MFI’s of the state.
The initiatives taken by the Public Sector Banks – for financial inclusion will make the presence of MFIs in rural areas irrelevant in the next couple of years. Government is bound to regulate the interest rate in favor of the beneficiaries, which will make these kind MFIs redundant.
EIL : COST TO RETAIL = 275.5 TIMES OVRSBCRBD = 2.5 PRICE AT LISTING = 290-295 GAIN PER 1 LAC APJCN = RS 2700
SKS : COST TO RETAIL = 935 TIMES OVRSBCRBD = 2.5 PRICE AT LISTING = 1040-1050 GAIN PER 1 LAC APJCN = RS 4800
IN BOTH THE IPOS LISTING EXPECTATIONS ARE ON MODERATE SIDE THAT LISTING PRICE IS VERY MUCH POSSIBLE IF MARKETS REMAINS IN SAME MOOD TILL THEY LISTED.
EIL HAS MORE RISK TO FALL TOWARDS ISSUE PRICE TILL U GET THE SHARES IN FPO, GOOD CO BUT NOT TOO EXCITING BOTH IN TERMS OF BUSINESS AND VALN, PAST TRENDS IN GOVT FPOS/IPOS INDICATE LOWER GAINS.
WHEREAS SKS INSPITE HIGH VALN, THOUGH NOT HIGH IF U COMPARE GLOBAL MF COS, HAS VERY VERY EXCITING BUSINESS MODEL, DIFFERENT TYPE LIKE JUBLIANT, COX ETC.IT WILL COMMAND GOOD SCARCITY PREMIUM POST LISTING BECAUSE THERE IS NO SUCH CO LISTED EXCEPT SE INVST WHICH IS TOO SMALL FOR FIIS.
TAKE DECISION AS PER UR HEART AND MIND AND GO FOR THE KILL. DONT CONFUSED MUCH IN RATIO OF ALLOCATION BETWEEN EIL AND SKS LIKE ME, MY FINALS ALLOCATION IS STILL IN DILEMA.
