this classic is a difference between a trader mentality and investor mentality. but never mind, its these traders who keep the market alive, otherwise there wont be any liquidity in the market
Going by Manappuram and IIISL bonds, giving YTM in the range of 13.6-14%, Muthoot 5 year bond should list much below 975, As per my estimate it should list somewhere around 940-945, to give a comparable yield for a AA- rated bond. 3 Year bond could end up between 965-970.
hi coolboy, My 14.09% calculation was based on price of 980, which was ruling in the morning (it increased thereon to 1000 though!!!). Formula was simple: =+(1132.25/980)^(365/400)-1, cg tax rate of 10% to get 12.68%
