BHEL Buyback: A Framework to Estimate Acceptance Ratio:

This framework is based on estimation of shareholding of BHEL investors who hold around 275 number of shares as on 31/03/2018. To this we have added estimates for
1) Few additional purchase  of Shares by existing shareholders with eye on earning additional returns through buyback.
2) Purchase of Shares by arbitrage investors.

Based on approximations indicated above, and taking a considerably a relatively high tendering ratio of 65-70%, BHEL buyback could have a acceptance ratio in 25%-40% and a closer range would be 25%-35% band under normal circumstances. Any considerable decrease in BHEL share price as witnessed today after results announcement, will result in slight increase of this ratio as the percentage tendering will go down. However BHEL existing retail shareholding being large and issue being of a good size, impact may not be much.

Assessment: BHEL Buyback
    • While BHEL reported a good set of numbers in Q1FY19, its operational performance in Q2FY19 is below expectations.
    • The Net profit for Q2FY17  is higher than that of the corresponding period in last year but this is largely  due to lower depreciation provided in this quarter.
    • The company being a large cap & in F&O space, should provide some cushion to the stock. On the other hand negatives include poor image of Government companies, increasing competition in its niche Boiler turbine segment, and relatively poor  results reported by the company in Q2FY19 which may lead to downward pressure on the  stock price.
    • BHEL buybacki ssue size is reasonable in size and buyback price offed in  BHEL Buyback is decent at Rs. 86 providing even chances of arbitrage gains. However the Q2FY19 results declared today have been a significant dampener.
  • At this stage, clarity on risks primarily hinges on how the results of Q2Fy19 which fell short of market expectation are perceived by the market. If BHEL can hold even up to 3-4 % down form today’s price post buyback, there could be a moderate to good arbitrage opportunity considering the buyback price of Rs. 86/- and an average estimate of 30% buyback acceptance ratio.
