GCM Commodity & Derivatives Ltd IPO Review (Avoid)

Review By Dilip Davda on July 30, 2013

We have yet another BSE SME platform IPO entering this week and thus primary market is having some action in the lull season. Details of the issue are as under:

GCM Commodity & Derivatives Ltd. is currently engaged in the business of investing in National Spot Exchange Limited (NSEL) Investment Products for arbitrage opportunities and commodity broking. It provides commodity broking facilities through its membership of NSEL. The Company become the Trading-cum-Clearing member of National Spot Exchange Limited and started the commodity broking business in May 2013. In the past our Company was engaged in the business of Commodity and Equity Trading.

Now the company mulls expansion of its business and planning the Membership of Multi Commodity Exchange of India Limited (MCX) and also raises general corpus fund and margin money for its business operations. To part finance this, the company is coming out with an issue of 3510000 equity share of Rs. 10 each at a affixed price of Rs. 20 per share to garner Rs. 7.02 crore. Issue opens for subscription on 01.08.13 and will close on 05.08.13. The company is also in the business of investing in NSEL Investment Products for arbitrage opportunities since FY 2013 through another broker. Issue is lead managed by Inventure Merchant Banker Services Pvt. Ltd and Purva Sharegistry (India) Pvt. Ltd is the registrar to the issue. Minimum application is to be made or 6000 shares and in multiples thereof, thereafter.  Post allotment, the shares will be listed n BSE SME.

As for the performance of the company, it has shown inconsistency in it with an average EPS of Rs. 0.52 for last three fiscals (EPS of Rs. 0.97 for 2013, Rs. (0.04) for 2012 and Rs. 0.29 for 2011). Thus for the fiscal 2012 it posted loss. Thanks to premiums collected during March 2009 to 2013 with preferential offers ranging between Rs. 20 to Rs. 50 per share that helped it boosting its NAV at Rs. 24.03 that will come down to Rs. 22.13 post issue. The current paid up equity of Rs. 3.92 crore will rise to Rs. 7.43 crore after the offer.


Conclusion / Investment Strategy

As for the merchant banker, this is the third SME offer from it. Inventure group has established itself as the mega player in stock market as it has operated in its parent company’s shares Inventure Growth post listing and has also done similar operations in past two SME offers of Bronze Infra-Tech and GCM Securities. This may lure speculative investors for investment in this offer, but others should stay away from this pricy offer that is made at a P/E of 40 plus.

Reviewer recommends Avoid to the issue.

With entry barriers, SEBI wants only well-informed investors to participate in such offers. With crazy listings in the recent past, SME IPOs drew the attention of investors across the board and lead to seer madness. However, as SME issues have entry barriers and continued low preference from the broking community, any reader taking decisions based on any information published here does so entirely at their own risk. The above information is based on information available as of date coupled with market perceptions. The Author has no plans to invest in this offer.
