• As per Frost & Sullivan Report, The MSW Management market is estimated at ₹50,000 million for FY2020 and is expected to reach ₹98,000 million by FY 2025 at a CAGR of 14.4%.
• The company proposes to utilise its fresh issue proceeds towards part-financing for waste-to-energy project at Pimpri Chinchwad through investment in its subsidiaries, AG Enviro and/or ALESPL; reduction of consolidated borrowings; and general corporate purposes.
• Antony Waste Handling Cell will take a second shot at going public. In March, the company had to withdraw its initial public offer (IPO) due to poor response.
• Antony Waste has raised both issue price and the IPO size from the last IPO that failed to click.
• Based on FY 2020 results, the consolidated EPS on the post issue equity works out to be Rs 15.8. The TTM EPS for period ended Sep 30, 2020 was Rs 13. The upper price band of Rs 315 discounts the FY20 and TTM EPS by 19.9 times and 24.2 times respectively. There is no other comparable listed company.
• The post-issue EPS for FY2020 works out to Rs 15-16. P/E works out to 20-21 times.
• The high GMP of Rs. 180+ commanded by the issue in the grey market may be due to high levels of shorts by operators which may have have exceeded the issue size for HNIs.
• I intend to apply in Antony Waste Handling IPO only for listing gains if any. The sector in which company operates is good but is dominated by municipalities and Govt departments where there are many issues to be wary off.
• Caution! Antony Waste IPO; There are reports that there were few Grey Market activity in the IPO and the rates has dipped. I will apply only if QIB response is satisfactory which is not the case till now.
