INTRODUCTION

Initial Public Offering (IPO) is a company’s offering of newly issued shares from

treasury to general public .it is generally the first time that a company does so-making the transition

from being a closed –door privately operated company to being a public traded, highly visible,

entity. When doing an IPO, an under writer ,i.e. a share broker firm, handles the distribution of

shares to the public effectively, the brokerage firm subscribers(underwriters) for the shares and then

sell to the clients(investors).After the IPO the shares will then trade on a stock exchange, it is

sometimes refereed to as “going to the public”.enterpreneurs and VCs(venture or” vulture” capalists

sometimes call it “cash in “up until a company is public(i.e. any one can buy or sell its shares) ,it is

private and operates away from the lime light. Companies often go to public to raise huge amount of

money or to give up investor’s liquidity.

An initial public offering is the point at which a company ceases to be privately held and

becomes publicly held and IPO requires that a company become listed on a stock exchange, and that

its shares become publicity traded. Going public places very stringent reporting requirements on the

company and the sale of shares brings in new investment monies that the company can then use to

grow.

An "initial public offering" is a company's first sale of stock to the public. This is why it is also

referred to as "going public". When a company that has already issued stock issues more stock it is

called a "secondary offering".

DEFINITION of 'Initial Public Offering - IPO'

1. The first sale of stock by a private company to the public. IPOs are often issued by smaller,

younger companies seeking the capital to expand, but can also be done by large privately owned

companies looking to become publicly traded.

2.In an IPO, the issuer obtains the assistance of an underwriting firm, which helps it determine what

type of security to issue (common or preferred), the best offering price and the time to bring it to

market.

3. Initial public offering is the process by which a private company can go public by sale of its

stocks to general public. It could be a new, young company or an old company which decides to be

listed on an exchange and hence goes public.

4. A company's first sale of stock to the public. Securities offered in an IPO are often, but not

always, those of young, small companies seeking outside equity capital and a public market for their

stock. Investors purchasing stock in IPOs generally must be prepared to accept considerable risks for

the possibility of large gains. IPOs by investment companies (closed-end funds) usually include

underwriting fees that represent a load to buyers.

5. An IPO also known as a flotation, is a company’s first release of buyable stocks or bonds to the

market. IPOs are frequently issued by smaller companies looking to expand with the capital selling

equity would bring. However, it is also common for governments to oversee IPOs by offering

services owned by the state to the public. A recent pertinent example was the flotation of “Royal

Mail” shares by the UK government.

NEED OF THE STUDY

In recent times, in India, the allotment of shares in Initial Public Offerings (IPOs) of the firms has

invited considerable media attention. Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI)- the regulator

of the market, has imposed penalties on the Depository Participants (DPs) for not being able to

detect a scam in allotment of shares in IPOs under fictitious names. This raises an interesting

question of why do the investors adopt any means- fair or foul to get allocations in IPOs? It has been

well documented in Finance literature that world over the IPOs are underpriced (Welch and Ritter,

2002). Underpricing means that the IPOs on the day of their listing trade at prices which are higher

than those at which they are offered.

This market inefficiency ensures that investors who are allotted shares in the IPOs can make gains

by selling these shares off at higher prices on the day of listing. Finance literature is however unable

to fully explain the valuation of the IPOs. In other words, very little work has been done on how the

offer prices in IPOs are determined?

Some exceptions are those of Benveniste and Spindt (1989), Kim and Ritter (1999) and

Purnanandam and Swaminathan (2002).

The firms, which are going for IPOs, do not have a market for pricing their shares. The most

common starting point for setting the price of these shares is by comparable firms approach. In this

approach, the under writers take the Price to Earnings ratios (PE ratios) of comparable firms in the

industry and then arrive at a multiple for the firm that is going public.

Now if the earnings of the firm going public can be inflated, the price at which the shares would be

offered to the public would be higher. Since higher prices result in wealth increase for the issuers,

they have a motivation for inflating the earnings during IPOs.

REVIEW OF LITERATURE

Initial public offering:

An initial public offering (IPO), referred to simply as an "offering" or "flotation", is

when a company (called the issuer) issues common stock or shares to the public for the first time.

They are often issued by smaller, younger companies seeking capital to expand, but can also be done

by large privately owned companies looking to become publicly traded.

History:

In 1602, the Dutch East India Company was the first company to issue stocks and bonds

in the world in an initial public offering.

Advantages of IPO:

The Advantages of IPO are numerous. The companies are launching more and more

IPOs to raise funds which are utilized for undertakings various projects including expansion plans.

Advantages of IPO – Overview:

The Advantages of IPO is the primary factor for the immense growth of the same in the last few

years. The IPO or the initial public offering is a term used to describe the first sale of the shares to

the public by any company. All types of companies with the idea of enhancing growth launch IPOs

to generate funds to cater the requirements of capital for expansion, acquiring of capital instruments,

undertaking new projects.

8

Major Advantages of IPO:

The increase in the capital: An IPO allows a company to raise funds for utilizing in various

corporate operational purposes like acquisitions, mergers, working capital, research and

development, expanding plant and equipment and marketing.

Liquidity: The shares once traded have an assigned market value and can be resold. This is

extremely helpful as the company provides the employees with stock incentive packages and

the investors are provided with the option of trading their shares for a price.

Valuation: The public trading of the shares determines a value for the company and sets a

standard. This works in favor of the company as it is helpful in case the company is looking

for acquisition or merger. It also provides the share holders of the company with the present

value of the shares.

Increased wealth: The founders of the companies have an affinity towards IPO as it can

increase the wealth of the company, without dividing the authority as in case of partnership.

Disadvantages of an IPO:

There are several disadvantages to completing an initial public offering, namely:

* Significant legal, accounting and marketing costs

* Ongoing requirement to disclose financial and business information

* Meaningful time, effort and attention required of senior management

9

* Risk that required funding will not be raised

* Public dissemination of information which may be useful to competitors, suppliers and

customers

Stock market:

A common platform where buyers and sellers come together to transact in stocks and shares. It may

be a physical entity where brokers trade on a physical trading floor via an "open outcry" system or a

virtual environment.

Stock exchange:

A stock exchange is an entity that provides services for stock brokers and traders to trade stocks,

bonds, and other securities. Stock exchanges also provide facilities for issue and redemption of

securities and other financial instruments, and capital events including the payment of income and

dividends. Securities traded on a stock exchange include shares issued by companies, unit trusts,

derivatives, pooled investment products and bonds.

The role of stock exchange:

Raising capital for businesses:

The Stock Exchange provide companies with the facility to raise capital for expansion through

selling shares to the investing public.[3]

10

Mobilizing savings for investment:

When people draw their savings and invest in shares (through a IPO or the issuance of new company

shares of an already listed company), it usually leads to rational allocation of resources because

funds, which could have been consumed, or kept in idle deposits with banks, are mobilized and

redirected to help companies' management boards finance their organizations. This may promote

business activity with benefits for several economic sectors such as agriculture, commerce and

industry, resulting in stronger economic growth and higher productivity levels of firms. Sometimes it

is very difficult for the stock investor to determine whether or not the allocation of those funds is in

good faith and will be able to generate long-term company growth, without examination of a

company's internal auditing.

Facilitating company growth:

Companies view acquisitions as an opportunity to expand product lines, increase

distribution channels, hedge against volatility, increase its market share, or acquire other necessary

business assets. A takeover bid or a merger agreement through the stock market is one of the

simplest and most common ways for a company to grow by acquisition or fusion.

Profit sharing:

Both casual and professional stock investors, through dividends and stock price increases that may

result in capital gains, share in the wealth of profitable businesses. Unprofitable and troubled

businesses may result in capital losses for shareholders.

11

Creating investment opportunities for small investors:

As opposed to other businesses that require huge capital outlay, investing in shares is open to

both the large and small stock investors because a person buys the number of shares they can afford.

Therefore the Stock Exchange provides the opportunity for small investors to own shares of the

same companies as large investors.

Barometer of the economy:

At the stock exchange, share prices rise and fall depending, largely, on market forces. Share prices

tend to rise or remain stable when companies and the economy in general show signs of stability and

growth. An economic recession, depression, or financial crisis could eventually lead to a stock

market crash. Therefore the movement of share prices and in general of the stock indexes can be an

indicator of the general trend in the economy.

Have you applied for the shares in an Initial Public Offer (IPO) lately? Did you observe the

statement that claims, 'The company plans to raise Rs 3,600 crore (Rs 36 billion) through book

building method'?

Are you aware what book building is all about? No? Then, read on to know more about this new

method of determining the share price of a company during IPO.

What is book building?

When companies are on the look out to raise money for their business operations,

they use various means for the same.

Two of the most popular means to raise money are Initial Public Offer (IPO) and Follow on

Public Offer (FPO). 

12

During the IPO or FPO, the company offers its shares to the public either at fixed price or

offers a price range, so that the investors can decide on the right price. The method of offering shares

by providing a price range is called as book building method.

Book building:

Book building is actually a price discovery method. In this method, the company doesn't

fix up a particular price for the shares, but instead gives a price range, e.g. Rs 80-100.

When bidding for the shares, investors have to decide at which price they would like to

bid for the shares, for e.g. Rs 80, Rs 90 or Rs 100. They can bid for the shares at any price within

this range.

Based on the demand and supply of the shares, the final price is fixed. The lowest price (Rs 80) is

known as the floor price and the highest price (Rs 100) is known as cap price. The price at which the

shares are allotted is known as cut off price. The entire process begins with the selection of the lead

manager, an investment banker whose job is to bring the issue to the public. Both the lead manager

and the issuing company fix the price range and the issue size. Next syndicate members are hired to

obtain bids from the investors. Normally the issue is kept open for 5 days.

Once the offer period is over, the lead manager and issuing company fix the price at

which the shares are sold to the investors. If the issue price is less than the cap price, the investors

who bid at the cap price will get a refund and those who bid at the floor price will end up paying the

additional money.

13

For e.g if the cut off in the above example is fixed at Rs 90, those who bid at Rs 80, will

have to pay Rs 10 per share and those who bid at Rs 100, will end up getting the refund of Rs 10 per

share. Once each investor pays the actual issue price, the shares are allotted.

Book building vs fixed price:

The main difference between the book building method and the fixed price method is that in the

former, the issue price is not decided initially.

The investors have to bid for the shares within the price range given and based on the

demand and supply of the shares, the issue price is fixed. On the other hand, in the fixed price

method, the price is decided right at the start.

Investors cannot choose the price, but must buy the shares at the price decided by the

company. In the book building method, the demand is known every day during the offer period, but

in fixed method, the demand is known only once the issue closes.

Book building vs. Reverse book building:

While book building is used to raise capital for the company's business operations,

reverse book building is used for buyback of shares from the market. Reverse book building is also a

price discovery method, in which the bids are taken from the current investors and the final price is

decided on the last day of the offer. Normally the price fixed in reverse book building exceeds the

market price.

14

Book building is the price discovery method in which the investors bid for the shares

of the company during IPO/FPO. They are given a price range in which the investors have to bid for

the shares.

Depending on the demand and supply of the shares, the issue price is fixed. Those who

bid at the price higher than the issue price end up getting refund and those who bid at the price below

the issue price end up paying the remaining amount.

Allotment procedure:

Few things frustrate an investor more than applying for shares and not getting them,

especially when talk of booming share prices leaves them with stars in their eyes.

A number of my friends have been similarly disappointed.

They simply did not get an allotment after they applied for an IPO refers to the first time a

company offers its shares to the public. After the shares are allotted through the IPO, the stock will

be listed on the stock exchange

so that the shares can be bought and sold. A number of IPOs are in the limelight at the moment.

Since many people apply for an IPO, very few end up with the shares. Let me explain why this

happens and how the IPO game works. The company will 'discover' its price Earlier, the company

determined a fixed price for the stock issue. The issue was marketed to the general public through

advertisements and a media campaign. Today, companies prefer a book building process. Book

15

building is the process of price discovery. That means there is no fixed price for the share. Instead,

the company issuing the shares comes up with a price band. The lowest

price is referred to as the floor and the highest, the cap. Bids are then invited for the shares. Each

investor states how many shares s/he wants and what s/he is willing to pay for those shares

(depending on the price band).

The actual price is then discovered based on these bids.

Who can play the game?

Three classes of investors can bid for the shares:

Qualified Institutional Buyers: QIBs include mutual funds and Foreign Institutional Investors. At

least 50% of the shares are reserved for this category.

Retail investors: Anyone who bids for shares under Rs 50,000 is a retail investor. At least 25% is

reserved for this category.

The balance bids are offered to high IIFL individuals and employees of the company.

How the game is played

Individuals who apply for the IPO put in their bids.

The process is transparent. You can check on the issue subscription at the BSE and NSE Web sites.

After evaluating the bid prices, the company will accept the lowest price that will allow it to dispose

the entire block of shares. That is called the cut-off price.

Let's take an example.

Number of shares issued by the company = 100.

Price band = Rs 30 - Rs 40.

Now let's check what individuals have bid for.

16

Bid Number of shares Price per share

1 20 Rs 40

2 10 Rs 38

3 20 Rs 37

4 30 Rs 36

5 20 Rs 35

6 20 Rs 33

7 20 Rs 30

The shares will be sold at the Bid 5 price of 20 shares for Rs 35.

Why?

Because Bidders 1 to 5 are willing to pay at least Rs 35 per share.

The total bids from Bidders 1 to 5 ensure all 100 shares will be sold (20 + 10 + 20 + 30 + 20).

The cut-off price is therefore Bid 5's price = Rs 35.

Bidders 1 to 5 get allotments at that price. Bidders 6 and 7 don't get an allotment because their bids

are below the cut-off price.

How to make bidding work for you

Go for the higher price band.

As a retail investor, you don't have to specify an exact price.

Make out a cheque for the number of shares you are applying for at the highest end of the price

band. If you are applying for 10 shares, the amount wll be Rs 400 (10 x Rs 40 -- the higher end of

the price band).

On allotment, the extra amount paid will be refunded to you. Since the cut-off price is Rs 35, the 10

shares will cost you Rs 350 (10 x Rs 35). The balance Rs 50 will be refunded to you.

17

How the allotment is done

The bids are first allotted to the different categories and the over-subscription (more shares

applied for than the shares available) in each category is determined.

Retail investors and high IIFL individuals get allotments on a proportional basis.

Assuming you are a retail investor and have applied for 200 shares in the issue, and the issue

is over-subscribed five times in the retail category, you qualify to get 40 shares (200 shares/5).

Sometimes, the over-subscription is huge or the issue is priced so high that you can't really

bid for too many shares before the Rs 50,000 limit is reached.

In such cases, allotments are made on the basis of a lottery.

Say a retail investor has applied for 5 shares in an issue, and the retail category has been over-

subscribed 10 times, the investor is entitled to half a share.

Since that isn't possible, it may then be decided that every 1 in 2 retail investors will get

allotment. The investors are then selected by lottery and the issue allotted on a proportional basis

among.

That is why there is no way you can be sure of getting an allotment.

How to make an allotment work for you

Put in bids in the names of your family members. The problem is, you will need to open demat

accounts for them first.

Most regular IPO investors try to calculate how much the issue will be over-subscribed and

then put in their bids accordingly.

For instance, if you want 10 shares and feel the retail portion of the issue will be over-

subscribed three times, you should bid for 30 shares.

You could also apply separately in the high IIFL category if you have the money.

(Sanskrit word for a symbol used to focus the mind). It predates the Vedas and is supposed to be the

favourite Yantra of Lakshmi, the Goddess of Wealth and Prosperity. This powerful symbol, said to

promote harmony and tranquility as well, has endured for many centuries. IIFL is engaged in the

business of creating wealth and the adoption of the Shree Yantra as its logo was but natural.

Positioning

When we pioneered ONLINE TRADING in India with the launch of our brand 5paisa, the tag line

was “It’s all about money, honey”.

We recently realigned our positioning from “Knowledge is the Edge” to “When it’s about Money” .

The IIFL brand is associated with trust, knowledge and quality service. But more importantly, the

brand stands for timely assistance provided to the country’s under-banked customers.

1996

A small group of professionals formed an Information Services Company*

The company was formed in October 1995 with a vision to produce high quality, unbiased,

independent research on the Indian economy, business, industries and corporates.

*The company was originally incorporated as Probity Research and Services Pvt.Ltd. The name of

the company was later changed to India Infoline Ltd.

2013

The biggest AIF and all time high income and profits

We launched AIF raising Rs6.28bn, the largest AIF fund in India, till date. Over the years, our

business model has been de-risked and is no longer dependent on cyclical capital markets. Reported

all time high income of Rs26.65bn and PAT of Rs2.79bn.

was Rs. 52.48 crore. For the six months ended September 30, 2014, its total income was Rs. 73.32

78

crore and loss was Rs. 53.53 crore respectively. Thus the company posted negative EPS of Rs. 11.23

and Rs. 11.04 (not annualized). Thus company has carried forward losses of operations. Its NAV

stands at Rs. 54 as on 30.09.14 is due to preferential issues made at hefty premiums. Based on this

the issue is at a negative P/E and at P/BV of 4 plus.

Ortel Communications is a flagship company of Panda group and is a regional cable television and

high speed broadband services provider focused in the Indian states of Odisha, Chhattisgarh, Andhra

Pradesh and West Bengal. It has built a two-way communication network for 'Triple Play' services

(video, data and voice capabilities) with control over the 'last mile' and has pioneered the primary

point cable business model in India by offering digital and analog cable television, broadband and

VAS services in Orissa, Chhattisgarh, West Bengal and Andhra Pradesh. The company holds a

dominant position in Orissa, with a fast-emerging presence in our three other markets, covering an

addressable market of approximately five million under the brand names, "Ortel Home Cable",

"Ortel Digital" and "Ortel Broadband". Now to expand its network for providing Video, data and

meeting the capital expenditure of digital cable services and broadband services and raising general

corpus fund, the company is coming out with book building process issue of 1,20,00,000 equity

share of Rs. 10 each with a price band of Rs. 181-200 and targeting to raise between Rs. 217.20-240

crore. The issue consists of 60,00,000 fresh equity issue and 60,00,000 offer for sale by existing

stakeholders. 75% shares are reserved for QIBs, 15% for HNIs and just 10% to retail investors.

Minimum application is to be made for 75 shares and in multiples thereon, thereafter. Issue is lead

managed by Kotak Mahindra Capital Co. Ltd and Karvy Computershare Pvt Ltd is the registrar to

the issue. Post allotment the shares will be listed on BSE and NSE.

 

79

Issue opens on 03.03.15 and will close on 05.03.15. On 2nd March, it is inviting bids from Anchor

Investors. Post issue, equity share capital of the company will stand at Rs. 30.37 crore. The issue will

dilute 39.25% equity on the basis of post issue paid up capital. Between October 1999 and July 2014

it issues equity shares at a premium ranging from Rs. 5 to Rs. 135 per share to reach paid up capital

of Rs. 24.37 crore. For last three fiscals it has posted an average negative EPS of Rs. 7.63 and thus it

has negative P/E and NAV of Rs. 8.31 as on 30.09.14. Thanks to premium collected on preferential

issue that has helped more erosion in NAV.  

 

On performance front, the company has incurred losses till last fiscal. For the first half of fiscal

2014-15 it has clocked in turnover of Rs. 71.93 crore with a net profit of just Rs. 0.66 crore. It has

carried forward losses. Based on this, if we annualized the earnings on the post issue expanded

equity of Rs. 30.37 crore, then it is at a P/E of 400 plus and thus is aggressively priced. Although

management claimed that in India no exact peer is available for comparison as this is the only

company with 90% plus "last mile" distribution. But then the pricing is discounting its next two

years earnings and thus has nothing on table for new investors. On merchant banker's front, as per

Chittorgarh.com data, it has 49 mandates in the past out of which 14 issues failed to give listing

gains. Thus the ratio of success is around 60%.

 As SEBI has done away with, this offer has not opted for any grading, has neither any safety net nor

any discount for retail investors.

At last a main line IPO from Wonderla is breaking the ice for the fiscal 2014-15 after a very dull

season in past few months with only SME IPOs and few debt offers making the bee line. No doubt,

80

two IPOs planned their issue i.e. Maiam Global Foods and Loha Ispaat, but the first one got

postponed before even road show starts and the other one failed to garner minimum subscription

despite longer duration period and lowering of rates, indicating at no trust from retail masses at

large. And this has happened when the secondary market has made historic highs in past few weeks.

Amidst such scenario, the main IPO from Wonderla is coming in this month.

 

 Wonderla that got SEBI node in April 2013 and wanted to hit the market around last Diwali is now

coming out just before its SEBI card gets expired. The company is from the stable of V-Guard group

and has a commendable performance in the stock market from the parent company. Now it is

coming out with a maiden offer for its amusement arm called Wonderla Holiday Ltd (WHL).

 

The company has two amusement parks at Bengaluru and Kochi and now planning third part at

Ranga Reddy District of Andhra Pradesh. WHL’s parks offer a wide range of water and land based

attractions catering to all age groups.  It has 22 water based attractions and 33 land based attractions

at Wonderla Kochi, situated on 93.17 acres of land and 20 water based attractions and 35 land based

attractions at Wonderla Bangalore, situated on 81.75 acres of land. The company recorded total

Footfalls of 23.40 lakhs in Fiscal 2013 and 17.50 lakhs in the nine month period ended December

31, 2013 across its two existing amusement parks in Kochi and Bangalore. Total Footfalls across the

two amusement parks has grown at a CAGR of 7.42% from Fiscal 2011 to Fiscal 2013. WHL also

has resort that is operated under the name, Wonderla Resort and, is a ‘Three Star’ leisure resort

located beside its amusement park in Bangalore comprising of 84 luxury rooms, with amenities

81

including banquet halls, a board room, conference rooms, a multi-cuisine restaurant, a solar heated

swimming pool, recreation area, kids’ activity centre and a well equipped gym. Further, for setting

up the proposed amusement park in Ranga Reddy District of Andhra Pradesh, it has acquired 49.57

acres of land. 

 

To part finance this expansion plan, the company is coming out with a maiden IPO of 14500000

equity share of Rs. 10 each via book building route with a price band of Rs. 115-125. Minimum

application is to be made for 100 shares and in multiples thereof, thereafter. Issue opens for

subscription on 21.04.14 and will close on 23.04.14. Post IPO, its existing equity of Rs. 42 crore will

rise to Rs. 56.50 crore. Issue is lead managed by Edelweiss Financial Services Ltd and ICICI

Securities Ltd and Karvy Computershare Pvt Ltd is the registrar to the issue. This issue is rated as

“IPO Grade 4” by CRISIL indicating above average fundamentals of the company. Post allotment

shares will be listed on BSE and NSE. During January 2008 to Mach 2008 the company allotted

around 1.5 crore equity shares at a price of Rs. 12 per share. 

 

For past three fiscals, the company has posted an average EPS of Rs. 7.61. For first nine months of

the fiscal 2013-14, it has earned net profit of Rs. 30.91 on a turnover of Rs. 121.53 crore translating

in to annualized EPS of Rs. 9.81 on existing equity of Rs. 42 crore and at Rs. 7.30 on fully diluted

equity of Rs. 56.50 crore post this IPO. Its NAV as on 31.12.13 is Rs. 36.29.  Thus the asking price

is at a P/E of 17+ and at a P/BV of 3.44 on upper price band basis. For a while, company will have

southern centric play in the field with next project being planned at Chennai. 

82

 

On merchant bankers’ front, Edelweiss had 20 mandates so far out of which 15 gave positive returns

and 5 negative whereas ICICI Securities had 28 mandates out of which 15 gave positive returns and

13 negative. 

As there is no comparable peer available as of now, the issue appears to be fully priced based on

current market parameters, but being the first such company going public and has a average

EBIDTA margins of around 45% for last three fiscals, issue is worth applying for handsome rewards

in medium to long term.

197.4 crore on the basis of lower and upper price bands. Issue opens for subscription on 26.08.14

31.3.14. For fiscal 2013-14 it posted net profit of Rs. 22.48 crore on a turnover of Rs. 155.23 crore

and if we attribute these earnings on expanded equity past IPO, the asking price is at a P/E of 32-35

84

on lower and upper price bands which makes it a pricey bet but considering its earnings and future

plans, it is worth considering for medium to long term as the company has lion share in the segment

of temperature controlled warehouse and logistics. For last five fiscals it has outperformed on Y-o-Y

basis with a CAGR of 35% in Revenues and PAT of 72%. Its pallets installation too has marked

CAGR of 53% and the management is confident of maintaining the same for coming years with

aggressive plans that has many firsts to its credits in this segment. 

 On merchant banker’s front, its past mandate had mixed trends for just two IPOs. One gave and the

other one failed to give return on the day of listing. 

 Although this IPO looks pricey, considering the performance parameters and this being the first IPO

from new specialized segment; it is set to reward investors in medium to long term. It is said to be

another Just Dial / Wonderla in the offing.

Suggestions

                   As there are many IPO's flodding into the market recent times, thought of discussing

some useful tips to be considered while going for any IPO.The present project work gives an idea

how to invest in the IPOs.

Objective of IPO: 

                   Firstly we need to concentrate the purpose of the company for going public and where

they are using the amount come from IPO, because the future of the company depends on what it is

going to do in future. We can expect the growth of the company. For an example, if a company is

95

using the amount to develop its infrastructure or business expansion then we can expect a good

growth of that share. Else if it is investing in any other non productive areas then there are less

chances of our share to increase.

Fundamentals of the Company: 

                   Company fundamentals is an important factor to be considered. the stronger the

fundamentals are, then the strongest is the company. Fundamentals like Assets, liabilities, Profit and

Loss statements history can constitute the list of fundamentals. A company with strong fundamentals

can be listed at a price more than the quoted price in offer. And also can be oversubscribed from

demand coming from Investors. Such companies can definitely bring good results for an investor.

Current Market Trend:

                   We have to analyse the current market trend as it would play an important in demand

from investors and listing price. If the market has hitted with a major IPO recently, then most of the

investors might have invested in that blocking a large capital and further enabling very less number

of investors to turn up for new IPO. Hence there would not be much demand and the price may be

low at the time of listing.

Ability to Withstand:

                    We should assess ourselves before going to invest in an IPO as this would block the

amount and even after listing if it doesn't yield anticipated returns or listed very low than the quoted

price we should be able to sustain. So be prepared to face any unanticipated risk ahead before

investing in any IPO.

96

Banker's history: 

               Merchant Banker who is involved in IPO can also be considered. Previous IPO brought up,

respective company's current position etc. Good bankers can bring up good companies and also

ensure proper liquidity so that all the shares issued are bought.

Others:

       If you want to invest more than 1 lakh in a particular IPO, invest in more than 1 application.

Never invest more than 1 lakh per application. You can invest in your spouse’s name or your

mom/dad’s name

         If you find 3 or 4 IPO’s which are good but have only 1 lakh of capital to invest, select the best

IPO among the 3 and invest in it. Don’t split your money. You might end up not getting allotment in

any of the IPO. Diversifying doesn’t work in IPO’s

         If you want to invest more than 1 lakh in a particular IPO, invest in more than 1 application.

Never invest more than 1 lakh per application. You can invest in your spouse’s name or your

mom/dad’s name.    

Conclusion

97

corporates may raise capital in the primary market by way of an initial public offer, rights issue or

private placement. an initial public offer (ipo) is the selling of securities to the public in the primary

market. this initial public offering can be made through the fixed price method, book building

method or a combination of both.

An initial public offering (ipo) occurs when a company first sells common shares to investors in

the public. Generally, the company offers primary shares this way, although sometimes secondary

shares are also sold as IPOs. For a company to offer IPOs, they need to hire a corporate lawyer as

well as an investment banker to underwrite the offer. The actual sale of the shares is generally

offered by stock exchange or by regulators. When the company starts to offer ipos, they are usually

required to reveal financial information about the company so that investors know whether the

companies a good investment or not. you should include information on your bank term deposit if

you have one.

Being able to answer the question what is an ipo? and knowing what ipo stands for is

important if you're going to be investing in stocks or companies. once you understand the definition

of ipo and of stock market ipo, you can begin learning how to use this investment opportunity to

make a profit. Initial public offerings make a good opportunity to make a profit because they are so

inexpensive. in fact, many of the dot com millionaires of the 1990s made their money simply

through IPOs. in general, companies offer ipos in order to raise money that they need for business

expansion and new business opportunities. by offering shares to investors, a company stands to bring

in a lot of money. They can then use this money to grow their business. the more their business

grows, in turn, the higher the share prices grow and the more money is generated by investors

purchasing shares. Unlike business loans, which need to be repaid with interest, ipos do not have this

98

disadvantage. It is investors who take the risk -- although also a potential gain -- buying shares. if the

company loses money and they will not have to repay their investors, although investors in general

demand high accountability from a company they are buying stocks from. Many companies simply

see offering IPOs as the next stage in business growth. since public companies often enjoy larger

profits and can draw on a larger capital base than private businesses, ipos seem like the logical way

to grow a company for many ceos. The present project work is an attempt to study the advantages of

an ipo and is done satisfactorily.
