Standard Chartered annualized EPS for CY 2009 on post-issue equity works out to Rs 79.5 per share or Rs 7.9 per IDR. At the price band of Rs 100 to Rs 115 per IDR (without considering discount of 5% to retail Investors) P/E of IDR is 12.6 to 14.5 times. Taking in to account, the premium from the fresh IDR issue, post-issue Book Value per IDR is Rs 63.7 and Rs 63.9 at issue price of Rs 100 and Rs 115, respectively. P/BV at both the bands works out to be 1.6 and 1.8 times, respectively.
Comparing Standard Chartered with any Indian bank will not be proper as none of the Indian banks has scale of international operations as Standard Chartered. Moreover, the peer group for Standard Chartered will be global banks and not Indian banks and, hence, the price of the Standard Chartered share will be decided on other global exchanges.
The current share price of Standard Chartered on the London Stock Exchange (LSE) is 16.20 GBP (Rs 1092.22) and on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange (HSE) 185 HKD (Rs 1110.00). The three-month, six-month and one-year average price on the LSE is GBP 17.21, GBP 16.20, and GBP 15.27, respectively, while that on the HSE is HKD 202.29, HKD 196.65 and HKD 192.1, respectively. The average three-month, six-month and one-year premium/discount on the HSE compared with the LSE is 0.3% premium, 1.61% discount and 0.6% premium (with a range of -6.2% to 7.3% in the one year period ended 23 May 2010).
The Indian IDR can trade at premium/discount to price on LSE/HSE depending on liquidity and interest in the scrip on Indian exchanges. Notably, domestic insurance companies, which are major investors in banks, cannot hold IDRs. FIIs may prefer buying Standard Chartered on the HSE or the LSE, especially due to restricted fungibility of IDRs in India. Retail/HNI investors may also not prefer Standard Chartered IDR due to higher taxes involved in holding and trading.
Moreover, Indian investors have enough choice with so many Indian public and private sector banks listed and the domestic growth story considered as far superior and safer than the global growth story. Hence, the possibility of IDRs trading at discount to the HSE/LSE is high.
The price of the Standard Chartered IDR on Indian stock exchanges will be substantially determined by the prevailing price of Standard Chartered on the LSE and HSE and relative exchange rate between UK, Hong Kong and Indian currency. Global economic, political and stock market conditions will have more influence on the IDR price than Indian economic, political and stock market conditions. If the IDR gets priced near the prevailing market prices on LSE/HSE, the 5% discount to retail investors will leave little cushion in view of the high volatility currently prevailing in global markets and possibility of IDR trading at discount to the LSE/HSE share prices post listing.

@32 Mr Rakesh considering 52 week high low for any listed securities & Stanchart's 1 share for 10 IDR rate is Rs124 & Rs74. Is it a good bet then NMDC NTPC or other FPO on the basis of 52 week high/Low rates ? also we have to keep in mind about financial freedom available to foreign banks in their country resulting in Lehmen type fiasco. It's PE is no way comparable with sound indian banks who are safe from global banking bankruptcy & subprime loan concerns . In my opinion issue is avoidable at current price in current global finacial market n financial stocks situation.
DEAR 27 & 28 correct your self. rates given by you for 52 weeks high and low are in Pence. so the rate in Indian Rupees comes to Rs 1240 - 750. current price is Rs. 109.30 so no margin left for Indian Public.
MY VIEW ABOUT STAN CHART: WE ARE APPLYING TO FOREIGN BANK SHARES THROUGH IDR. IT'S SHARE IS LISTED ON LONDON STOCK EXCHANGE.EVEN AT LOWER PRICE BAND NOT GREAT MARGIN OF SAFETY. I EXPECT FULL ALLOTMENT TO RETAIL.
