Vedant Fashion, which owns ethnic wear Manyavar brand has come up with a three-day IPO (initial public offer) that opened on February 4th and was subscribed to 14% on the first day. The IPO closed on February 8th. Its price-band is ₹824-₹866 per share for its ₹3,149 crore issue.
Anil Singhvi, Zee Business Managing Editor has recommended that investors can apply for these shares for the long-term as it is a strong brand leader, boasts of strong financials, margin and cash flow. Speaking of negatives, he added that the upper price band of ₹866 appears to be expensive.
“Currently, promoters holding in the company stands at 85%, which has to be reduced by at least 10%,” he added. The grey market premium of the company has been decreasing. It was ₹18, it went down to ₹12 and it is ₹10 today.
The IPO is purely an offer for sale by promoters and existing shareholders. 1.74 crore shares will be sold by Rhine Holdings Ltd; Kedaara Capital Alternative Investment Fund-Kedaara Capital AIF will sell up to 7.23 lakh shares and up to 1.81 crore shares will be sold by Ravi Modi Family Trust.
36,364,838 equity shares are on offer and half of them have been reserved for qualified institutional buyers, 35 per cent for retail investors and the remaining 15 per cent for non-institutional investors. Since it is an offer for sale, the company will not receive any proceeds from the issue.
The company owns brands like Manyavar, Mohey, Twamev, Manthan, and Mebaz and has an exclusive retail network of 546 brand outlets in India and abroad. Further, it operates via online platforms, multi-brand outlets (MBOs), and large format stores (LFSs).

“Vedant Fashions commonly known as Manyavar is a well-known name in a market of celebration wear. However, the financials are not promising and in a downward direction since the Covid-19 pandemic. The company’s total assets and profit margins have also been reduced. The IPO price band seems at the higher side as compared to the valuations.” said Ravi Singh, VP and Head of Research at Share India.
