ICICI Securities IPO: Assessment
- ICICI Securities is likely to benefit from fundamental transformation in the Indian savings environment
- ICICI Securities Limited has met with good anchor demand.
- ICICI Securities Limited is one of the pioneers in the e-brokerage business in India, along with its strong brand name, large registered customer base, wide range of products across asset classes, complimentary advisory services. How ever over the years this advantage may have got blunted.
- Retail brokerage revenue contributed around 90.5% in the total brokerage revenue in FY17. This can get affected in the scenario of a slowdown in equity markets.
- The ICICI Securities IPO appears to be fully priced and even though it may see reasonable QIB demand, I do not intend to apply in ICICI Securities IPO as of now.
