What is IPO in Share Market? And Is it Worth Investing in IPOs?

Understanding what is IPO in Share Market: Everyone gets excited about new things. The new clothes, new bike, new car, new job, etc always attract the public. Investors are also like ordinary people and hence they are also tempted by the word ‘NEW’. Be it new technology, a new industry or a new company. And hence, listing on new companies in stock market always excites investors.

In this post, we are going to discuss what is IPO in share market and whether it’s worth investing in these new companies which enter the market for the first time.

What is IPO – Initial Public Offering?

When a privately held company offers its shares for the first time to the public, then it is called Initial public offering (IPO). It is a way for companies to enter the stock market. Until a company offers IPO, the public is not able to buy the company’s share.

Before the IPO of a company, its shareholders include limited people like founders, co-founders, relatives, friends and initial investors (like an angel investor, venture capitalist etc). However, after the company offers its IPO, anyone (public, institutional investors, mutual funds etc) can buy the shares of the company.

A few of the popular IPOs listed in the Indian share market in 2021 are Kalyan Jewellers, Craftsman Automation, Ease my trip, Indigo Paints, IRFC, etc.  You can get more details about the latest IPOs in India here.

What does ‘Going public’ mean?

Going public means that a ‘privately owned company’ is conducting an initial public offer (IPO) to the public in order to enter the stock market as a ‘public company’. In short, when a company is offering an IPO, it is said that the company is going public.

Why do companies conduct IPOs?

The basic reason why companies issue their shares or go for an IPO is to raise capital or funds.

Stock exchanges facilitate the exchange of shares for capital. The process involves shares being offered, shares being allotted to investors, and finally the shares being listed on an exchange where they can be bought and sold. By doing so companies can get access to a wider pool of investors which includes retail and domestic/foreign institutional investors.

There can be a number of reasons why any company offer an IPO. Here are a few of the top ones:

  1. For a new project or expansion plan of the company
  2. To raise capital (financial benefit)
  3. For carrying out new research and development works
  4. To fund capital expenditures
  5. To pay off the existing debts or reduce the debt burden
  6. For a new acquisition
  7. To create public awareness of the company
  8. For the group of initial investors desiring to exit the company by selling their stakes to the public.

In addition, IPOs generate lots of publicity for the company and hence helps in creating market exposure, indirect exposure, and brand equity.

Why are the Disadvantages of Conducting IPOs?

Here are the few disadvantages for the companies who offer their IPOs:

  1. Public disclosure: When a privately held company offers its IPO, it has to disclose a number of documents to the public like its financials, promoters list, debts etc.
  2. Entering a regulated market: Indian stock market is highly regulated by Securities and exchange board of India (SEBI) and hence the newly public company has to play by the rules of SEBI. There has been a number of cases of companies getting delisted by SEBI as they do not follow the norms of the market.
  3. Market pressure: The companies performance are closely scrutinized by the public and investors. Hence, the company’s management is consistently is pressure. Sometimes the companies focus more on short-term performance over long-term due to market pressure.
  4. Loss of control: As the shares are distributed among the investors, the decision making power is now in the hands of the shareholders.
  5. Failing of IPO: Many companies fail to attract investors during its IPO and the offered shares might remain under-subscribed. In such a scenario, the company is not able to raise enough capital that is expected to achieve the goal of IPO.

Why do most IPOs come in the bull market?

bull market ipo

The promoters of the company sell their stakes only when they are confident of getting a good price. This generally happens only in a bull market. During a bull market, the owners of the company can raise enough fund for their cause as the public is optimistic. People are willing to pay good prices to buy shares of the company.

Why do not many IPOs come in bear market?During bear market, people are pessimistic and are not willing to pay a good price for the shares of a newly public company. The owners feel that they won’t be getting the right price for their shares and hence most owners do not introduce their IPO during a bear market

Who gets MOST Benefits from IPOs?

There is a common myth that the company’s shares are undervalued during its IPO and hence the early subscribers of the IPO feel that they have made a very good deal.

However, IPOs are the by-products of a bull market and they are generally over-priced.

The owner and the initial investors of the company (like angel investors, venture capitalist etc) are the ones who get maximum profits during an IPO as they are able to sell the shares at a good price.

Why are people excited about IPOs?

There are a few common reasons why people are excited about IPOs. They are:

  1. Under-pricing myth: When a company announces its IPO, it’s presumed that the offered price is less than its true value. People are excited about the fact that they are the first one to buy the stock and will be rewarded handsomely when the company’s true price will be realized by the market. However, it’s very rare that the owners will be willingly underpricing the shares.
  2. Herd-mentality: As everyone they know will be applying for the IPO, people do not want to be missed out.
  3. Overhype by media/ underwriters: Media gets a high advertisement fee for the promotion of the IPO. Moreover, IPOs are intentionally overhyped by the investment banker and the underwriters. They make sure that these IPO’s get enough attention as this is their job to promote and sell the shares.
  4. ‘The Next …’ strategy: People compare the upcoming IPO with the Winners in the same industry and conclude that it will perform the same. ‘The next Eicher motors’, ‘The next symphony’, ‘The next Infosys’ etc. This ‘Next’ philosophy makes a lot of people excited about the upcoming IPO.

Is it worth investing in IPOs?

A lot of investors have made huge wealth by investing in IPOs. Had you invested in ‘INFOSYS’ when it got listed, you might have been sitting at a huge pile of wealth today.

Also read:

However, the performance of the majority of the IPOs in the Indian stock market is under-satisfactory. The number of IPOs underperforming in long-term are comparatively quite larger than the number of IPOs that performs well in the market.

Further, IPOs are never priced in the benefits of the public. In the case where few IPOs are fairly priced, it gets a lot of demand from the public during its offerings and gets over-subscribed. Moreover, it soon becomes over-priced once it starts trading in the market. A few IPOs might give you a good return in the one or two months of its listing as they are introduced in the bull market, however, in the long run, their performance is quite poor.

If you are willing to invest in the long-term, then be cautious about investing in IPOs. Focus on the quality of the company, not the hype generated by media or underwriters.

Nevertheless, you can always pick these companies from the secondary market once the hype is over and the price is attractive. There are over 5,000 companies listed in Indian stock market. It’s better if you pick a good one among them than picking the upcoming hyped company.

EaseMyTrip (Easy Trip Planners) IPO Review 2021

EaseMyTrip (Easy Trip Planners) IPO Review 2021 – IPO Price, Offer Dates & Details!

EaseMyTrip IPO Review 2021: The Easy Trip Planners IPO which opens on March 8th and closes on March 10, is one of the first digital company IPOs this year. In this article, we cover the EaseMyTrip (Easy Trip Planners) IPO Review and look into important IPO information and find out the possible prospects of the company. Let’s get started.  

EaseMyTrip (Easy Trip Planners) IPO – About Company

EaseMyTrip IPO Review 2021 March

Founded in 2008, Easy Trip Planners Ltd is an online travel agency which offers a range of travel-related products and services which includes flight tickets, train tickets, holiday packages, hotel booking, bus tickets, cab booking services, and other value-added services which include travel insurance, visa processing, etc.

The company has offices throughout the country including major cities like Noida, Bengaluru, Mumbai, and Hyderabad. The company has also expanded its presence globally and has offices located in Singapore, the UAE, and the UK.

History of EaseMyTrip

 Easy Trip Planners offer their services through their website (EaseMyTrip) and their android and iOS mobile app. In its early years, the company started off with a B2B2C (business-to-business-to-customer) distribution channel. Here they provided travel agents access to their website in order to book domestic travel airline tickets to cater to the offline travel market in India.

By 2011 the company entered the B2C segment where they would directly assist clients in booking flight tickets through their website. By doing so they addressed the needs of the middle-class population of India by providing an easy-to-use alternative instead of travel agents.

Easy Trip Planners Net Assets

In 2013 the company entered the B2E (business to enterprise) segment where they would provide their services to corporates. They also introduced hotel bookings and holiday packages to their customers. The following year Easy Trip Planners launched their Android application.

The company also has developed an in-house technology team that focuses on providing a secure, advanced, and scalable technological infrastructure.

EaseMyTrip IPO Review – Achievements

EaseMyTrip Achievement - Profit after tax

Over the years the company has grown in leaps and bounds. One of their biggest USPs has been the end-to-end service that they provide for all travel needs making their platform a one-stop destination for all travel needs. This has made Easy Trip Planners the second largest online travel agency in India in terms of gross revenue. In order to achieve this, they have entered into various agreements with third parties, including airlines, GDS and API service providers, channel managers, IRCTC, corporate customers, and IATA.

The company provides its clients access to 400 international and domestic flights along with 1.1 million hotels in India or abroad. As of March 2019, it had 49,494 registered travel agents across major cities of India.

The company has also achieved the feat of being the only profitable online travel agency among the key online travel agencies in fiscal years 2018, 2019, and 2020 in terms of net profit margin. The expansion of the internet and smartphones across the country will only increase the company’s growth potential.

EaseMyTrip in the midst of COVID-19

What is even more impressive is the company’s performance in the midst of the pandemic. They reported a revenue of Rs 50 crore in the nine months period ended in December 2020. They also managed to recover 70% booking volumes in the third quarter of Fiscal 2021, in terms of segments in comparison to the third quarter of Fiscal 2020. 

EaseMyTrip IPO Review – Risks in the Company

One of the major weaknesses of the company is the industry it operates in. The operations of the Travel-related products and services get severely impacted in the case of pandemics which we already saw this year. The effects of COVID-19 are said to have a lasting impact on the industry. 

Easy Trip Planners IPO Review - Revenue segments

The table above shows the breakup of the sources of the online ticketing segment. Here you can see that the industry is majorly dependent on Airline ticketing. Similarly, Easy Trip Planners too generates more than 90% of its revenue through air tickets booked on its website and mobile application. Any impact on the airline industry will be carried on to  Easy Trip Planners. 

The company is also dependent on its website and mobile application for operations. Failure to adapt to technological advances or glitches in the systems could disrupt their operations.

MTAR Technologies IPO Review 2021 – IPO Price, Offer Dates & Details!

MTAR Technologies IPO Review 2021: The MTAR Technologies IPO opens on 3rd March and closes on 5th March 2021. In this article, we cover the MTAR Technologies IPO Review and look into important IPO information and find out the possible prospects of the company. Let’s get started. 

MTAR Technologies IPO – About Company

MTAR Technologies IPO Review 2021 - About the company

MTAR Technologies is the Indian leader in the precision engineering industry. The company manufactures mission-critical components with close tolerances (5-10 microns) in critical assemblies, to serve projects of high national importance. Precision engineering is a sub-discipline concerned with designing machines, fixtures, and other structures that have exceptionally low tolerances, are repeatable and are stable over time.

Its products are used in aviation, aerospace, space, defence, and nuclear power plants. The product’s applications in these sectors are critical as minute errors can lead to great damages. MTAR is able to specialize its products through its precision machining, assembly, specialized fabrication, testing, and quality control processes.

The company has precision engineering capabilities to build missile systems, aircraft components, nuclear and pressurized water reactors, aerospace engines, and many other vital components.

financials of MTAR Technologies IPO

History of MTAR Technologies

MTAR was founded in 1970 as a partnership firm. The same year they received their first order from Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited (BHEL).

The firm went onto manufacture products for companies like Hindustan Machine Tools (HMT), Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO), Defense Research and Development Organization (DRDO), Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL), Gas Turbine Research Establishment (GTRE), and Aeronautical Development Agency (ADA). MTAR was incorporated into a company in 1999. 

history of MTAR Technologies

In 2008, the company began an export-oriented unit by manufacturing 500-watt megawatt reactors. The company also began substituting imports by developing import substitutes. Over the years, MTAR has developed a wide product portfolio catering to customers in diverse segments.

Important projects of MTAR Technologies

Here are some important projects to which MTAR Technologies has contributed:

  • Supplied the first Vikas Engine( liquid-fuelled rocket engine in 1989)
  • Indian civilian nuclear power program
  • Indian space program
  • AGNI Program – MTAR manufactured base shroud, Fin assembly and pneumatic components. 
  • Liquid propulsion engines for GSLV Mark III. (A launch vehicle for crewed missions and dedicated science missions like Chandrayaan-2)
  • Actuators for LCA(Light Combat Aircraft) by HAL.

revenue profit of MTAR Technologies IPO Review 2021

MTAR operates through its 7 state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities in Hyderabad and Telangana. These facilities include end-to-end capabilities like precision machining, assembly, specialized fabrication, brazing and heat treatment, testing and quality control and other specialized processes.

The company also emphasizes on R&D of their manufacturing processes as it allows them to evolve their own process technologies thereby enabling them to achieve design specifications with accuracy irrespective of the size of the products. 

MTAR Technologies IPO Review: Risks in Company 

Although the company shows impressive financials investors must note that these revenues are sourced from a few clients in a niche industry. Clients like ISRO, DRDO, NPCIL, and Bloom Energy contribute major chunks to its revenue. From April to December 2020 Bloom Energy accounted for 49% of the company’s revenue to its fuel cell segment. NPCIL accounted for 27% of the revenue to its nuclear segment. ISRO and DRDO accounted for 21% of its revenue in the space and defence segment.

The company also operates in an industry where the margin for error is minute to nonexistent. Any errors could cause lots of damage and also lose the few clients the company has forever. Any changes in government policies towards the sectors the company functions in will have an adverse impact on the company’s earning potential.  The increased liberalization of the defence/space sector in favour of foreign and private companies could also have an adverse impact on the MTAR.

Abhay Doshi, the founder of UnlistedArena.com associated the impressive growth in sales in the first six months of FY21 to the fear of the COVID-19 pandemic and patients avoiding visiting hospitals and clinics which led to an increase in sales.

The health market in India and its neighboring countries stood at Rs.20,757 crore in 2019 and is expected to grow to Rs.38,920 crore by 2025 at a CAGR of 11.0%.  This growth will be driven by rising awareness of Health and wellness, increasing spending power, the growing burden of chronic diseases, and the need for Healthcare stakeholders to reduce healthcare costs.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) about IPOs

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) about IPOs

IPOs have always been popular and bring a lot of excitement to the markets. We have a number of IPOs lined up for the Indian markets this year. It almost seems as if we’re making up for all the lost time. In order to help investors in their understanding of IPOs, we have compiled a list of Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) about IPOS’s:

1. What is an IPO?

An Initial Public Offer refers to the process where a company offers its shares to the public. In an IPO, the company offers shares to investors in exchange for capital. This is one of the means through which the company raises funds. Any company that fulfills the requirements of the SEBI can go public.

2. Do Companies list on stock exchanges without an IPO?

Yes. Companies can get listed on an exchange without an IPO as long as they meet the conditions set by SEBI.

3. What are the opening and closing dates?

It is between these dates that investors are allowed to apply for the IPO.

4. What is the price band?

This refers to the lower and upper limit of the share price within which the company will offer its shares to the public. The investors are allowed to bid equal to or in between these lower and upper limits.

5. What is ‘Market Lot Size’ (Minimum and Maximum)?

In an IPO the total shares offered to the public is divided into lots. In an IPO the investors are not allowed to purchase shares of any quantity. They have to do it in lots. In addition, a minimum and maximum lot size is set beforehand. For eg. say Company A going public sets a lot size of 10 shares for each lot with a minimum and maximum lot purchase set at 1 and 10 respectively. This basically means that the minimum number of shares an investor can purchase is 10 and the maximum a 100. If an investor wants 65 shares he will not be able to do so. But he can purchase 6 lots which is the closest denomination. This is one of most Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) about IPOs

6. Does applying for an IPO guarantee investors a certain amount of shares?

  No. Applying for shares does not guarantee allotment. Applying for shares means that you are bidding for the shares. The allotment depends on the number of bids received and the price at which these bids are made. 

7. What is the life cycle of IPO?

The IPO process includes the following steps

  1. The company approaches and appoints investment banks to act as the lead managers and registrar to the IPO issue. They then register with the SEC
  2. The lead managers prepare a draft prospectus for the IPO and file the prospectus with the SEBI.
  3. The SEBI reviews and approves the prospectus. If any changes are required they revert back to the company for the changes to be made.
  4. The lead managers bring attention to the IPO.
  5. The company along with the lead managers price the IPO and release dates for the issue.
  6. The IPO is opened for public bidding.
  7. Registrar processes IPO applications allocated them to respective DEMAT accounts and processes refunds.
  8. Shares are listed on the stock exchange.

8. What are the primary & secondary markets?

The primary market is the part of the capital market where securities are first created and sold to investors. This market deals with IPO’s. 

Secondary markets refer to the part of the capital market where they buy and sell securities which they already own. Shares can only be sold and bought here-after the listing of the company opting for IPO takes place.

9. What is Follow on public offering (FPO)?

A Follow on Public Offering(FPO) refers to when the company opts to offer shares to the public when it has already issued shares in an IPO in the past. 

10. Who decides the date of the issue?

The most appropriate offering dates are decided by the company after their prospectus is approved by SEBI.

11. How many days will an IPO remain open for the public?

An IPO remains open for at least 3 working days, but not more than 10 working days.

12. What is the listing date?

IPO listing refers to the date when the shares will begin trading at the stock exchanges.

13. What is the role of the registrar of an IPO?

The registrar is appointed by the company. They are responsible for processing IPO applications and allocating the shares to the applicants. They also process refunds or transfer of shares to Demat accounts of IPO applicants. All this is done in accordance with SEBI guidelines.

14. What is the role of Lead Managers in an IPO?

These lead managers or underwriters are independent financial institutions appointed by the company. They are responsible for coordinating all the activities surrounding the issue. The activities include getting attention towards the IPO, creating draft documents, getting the draft approved by the SEBI, etc.

15. What is the difference between the Book Building Issue and the Fixed Price Issue?

These are methods through which the issue price is set in an IPO

In the Fixed Price Issue, the company fixes a price at which the shares are offered to the investors. 

In the Book Building issue, the price band is set by the company. The investors then place their bids equal to or above the floor of the price. These bids are then sent to the lead manager who enters the bids in the book. This method helps in efficiently setting the price.

16. What is the difference between Floor Price and Cut-Off Price?

The floor price is the minimum price at which bids can be made.

The cut-off price is the offer price that is finalized by the company and the lead manager after receiving the bids. This can be any price in between the price band.

17. What is the difference between RII, NII, QIB, and Anchor Investor?

RII: Retail Institutional Investor refers to investors who apply for stocks below the value of Rs.200,000.

NII: Non-Institutional Investors refer to Investors who apply for more than Rs 2 lakhs worth of IPO shares.

QIB: SEBI has defined a Qualified Institutional Buyer as Institutional investors who are generally perceived to possess the expertise and the financial muscle to evaluate and invest in the capital markets. These include Public financial institutions, commercial banks, mutual funds, and Foreign Portfolio Investors, etc.

Anchor Investors: They are QIB’s who are the first investors in an IPO and can attract investors to the IPO. They invest an amount of Rs. 10 crores or more.

18. Is it mandatory to have a PAN number to apply in an IPO?

Yes. SEBI has made it mandatory since 2006.

19. What information should I keep after I submit the IPO application form?

-Application Number

-Copy of Payment

-Copy of Application form.

20. IPO’s are less riskier than directly investing in the stock market?

IPO’s come with their own set of risks:

– There is limited data available from the company for individual investors.

– IPO’s generally take place during bullish markets where investors are optimistic.

– It is hard to predict the price movement for listing gains. Flipping IPO’s is common if the shares make a profit on a listing day.

– Retail investors may not even be allotted shares if the IPO is oversubscribed.

21. Can I apply in an IPO through multiple applications of the same name?

No. Applying multiple times does not increase the chances of allocation. In fact, if the IPO receives multiple applications with the same PAN number then all your applications will be rejected. 

22. What is the Basis of Allocation or Basis of Allotment?

In the case where bids do not exceed the offering, the investors will be allotted shares as long as they have provided accurate and appropriate applications. If the IPO is oversubscribed then the shares may be allotted on a pro-rata basis or through a draw of lots. 

23. Can I revise or cancel my IPO application?

Yes. An investor can cancel his IPO application. 

An investor may also change his bid using. This can be done using the form for changing /revising bids that comes along with the application form. 

This however must be done before the IPO issue is closed.

24. Where do I get an IPO application form?

An investor can download the online ASBA form provided by the advisories or they can download it from the BSE/NSE website. These forms are made available 2 days before the IPO.

25. Can investors sell the stock allotted to them in an IPO before the stock gets listed?

No. An investor can place a sell order during the pre-opening time and sell when the IPO trading starts at 10 am on listing day.

26. What are the tax implications of selling IPO allocated shares on listing day?

If an investor sells his shares on listing day or within one year of listing he will be subject to pay ordinary income tax on the gains. Beneficial capital gains tax rates are applicable only in case the shares are sold after one year in the case of IPO. This is the most common concern amongst traders and investors when we talk about Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) about IPOs

27. How many days issue takes to list in the market?

It takes 6 days for a stock to get listed on an exchange after the IPO is closed. This period is expected to be reduced to 3 days by market regulators in the coming future.

28. How is the listing price calculated?

The listing price is calculated based on the market forces of demand and supply for the company shares.

To Conclude…

We hope that the list above answers most of the questions which most of the investors have. That’s it from us in this write up about Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) about IPOs. We will see you in our next meeting.

Brookfield REIT IPO Review – IPO Price, Offer Dates & Details!

Brookfield REIT IPO Review

It almost looks like we are already making up for all the lost time from 2020. It at least seems that way in the primary markets with IPO’s every other week. In this article, we cover the Brookfield REIT IPO Review and look into important IPO information and find out the possible prospects of the company.

About the Company – Brookfield REIT IPO Review

Brookfield  Real Estate Investment Trust India is the Indian REIT wing of the Canadian asset manager Brookefield Group. The company is looking to raise Rs. 3,800 crore this week during its IPO from 3-5 Feb 2021. REITs are listed entities that invest in income-generating properties and distribute at least 90 percent of their income proceeds to unit-holders through dividends. The company has 4 large campus-format office parks strategically located in Mumbai, Noida, Gurugram, and Kolkata. They have a Committed Occupancy of 92% and leased to marquee tenants with 75% of Gross Contracted Rentals. Their clients include MNC’s like Barclays, Bank of America Continuum, RBS, Accenture, Tata Consultancy Services, and Cognizant. The company currently owns 1.4 crore square feet of its commercial properties across the country. The company is also looking to add another 1.5 crore square feet of space in the next few years.

Brookefield REIT owns $17 billion across real estate, infrastructure, renewable power, and private equity in India. The company also owns seven toll roads totaling more than 600 km of roadway, solar and wind assets,  construction business, and real estate management services.

So far there have been only two other Reit IPO’s in the Indian markets. Those being the Embassy REIT IPO launched in April 2019, the Mindspace REIT IPO which was launched in July 2020 in the midst of the pandemic. However, Brookfield REIT is the only institutionally managed public commercial real estate vehicle in India.

(Rs. in millions)

WFH and Office Parks

Investors may be concerned when it comes to responses given by companies during the pandemic. Most of the companies shifted their activities to the Work From Home(WFH) mode of functioning. This could have been a challenge to the office parks like those provided by Brookefield. But the company has stated that there is no data to suggest that the WFH concept is the new normal and exuded confidence that benefits like closely working together for productivity purposes will eventually get teams to work from offices. Brookefield REIT also stated that they have over 90% occupancy at present. All the properties have been working through the lockdown. Their collections have been over 98% and 5 lakh square feet of space has been re-leased during the pandemic.

 Experts have also stated that the IPO could not have come at a better time as the real estate markets in India have matured and there could be a correction within 3 months when the loan moratorium period ends. 

Brookefield REIT going public would also encourage more real estate owners to go for REIT listing and being a global company can also further increase the inflow of capital into the domestic real estate. 

Key IPO Information – Brookfield REIT IPO Review

BSREP India Office Holdings V Pte. Ltd is the promoter of the company. Morgan Stanley India Co., DSP Merrill Lynch Ltd, Citigroup Global Markets India Pvt, and HSBC Securities and Capital Markets (India) Pvt. have been appointed as the global coordinators and book-running managers to the issue.

Closing Thoughts – Brookfield REIT IPO Review

 Looking back at other REIT IPOs, both Embassy Office Parks REIT and Mindspace Business Park REIT are currently trading at a premium to their issue price. These companies are worthwhile investments for long term investors who look for steady incomes. REITs receive stable rental income and this is transferred to the unitholders in the form of dividends. Let us know what you think about the Brookefield REIT IPO.
