Ultracab India Ltd IPO Review (Avoid)

Review By Dilip Davda on September 11, 2014

Ultracab India is engaged in the manufacturing and selling in domestic market as well as exporting of wires and cables. Currently it exports its products to countries like UK, UAE, Africa, Singapore, Uganda etc. It also offers customized products as per requirement of user industry. It manufactures various ranges of cables and wires.

Now to part finance its working capital requirements, the company is coming out with an equity issue of 2214000 equity shares of Rs. 10 each at a fixed price of Rs. 36 per share to mobilize Rs. 7.97 crore. Minimum application is to be made for 3000 shares and in multiples thereon, thereafter. Post allotment shares will be listed on BSE SME. Issue is lead managed by Pantomath Capital Advisors Pvt Ltd and Bigshare Services Pvt Ltd is the registrar to the issue. Issue opens for subscription on 15.09.14 and will close on 23.09.14. Its current equity is Rs. 5.80 crore that will rise to Rs. 8.01 crore post issue. Company raised equity with preferential issue during March 2011 to July 2014 at a price ranging between Rs. 20 to Rs. 36 and issued bonus shares in August 2014 in the ratio of 1 share for every 1 share held.

On performance front, the company has posted rising pattern of turnover and profits for past five years. Its turnover rose from Rs. 10.66 crore in 2009-10 to Rs. 28.84 crore in 2012-13 and net profit marked rising trends from 2009-10 to 2011-12  from Rs. 0.15 crore to Rs. 0.28 crore and was down to Rs. 0.22 crore for 2012-13. However, for the fiscal 2013-14 it has earned net profit of Rs. 0.83 crore on a turnover of Rs. 31.81 crore marking huge jump in bottom line. If we attribute these earnings on enhanced equity post issue then the asking price is at a P/E of 34 which is very high. Its peers are trading at a P/E around or below 20.


Conclusion / Investment Strategy

SME investment is having entry barrier at entry and trading levels and many broking houses discourage marketing, recommendation and trading or deals on SME counters. Thus SME investment carries these additional blockades.

On merchant banker’s front, in past two mandates they have given marginal listing gains and currently quoting at better yields. Considering these, risks aver investors having surplus funds can park their money for medium to long term rewards. Others can just avoid it.
