Even after a good response to IPO, Grey market both on application basis & firm basis continues to go down. Though this issue is not of same class as Mahanagar  Gas , Ujjivan or Quess Corp , Retail IPO investors  willing to take some risk and  reconciled to possibility of  low listing gains may apply.

11/07/16 ( Day 1)

Even after a relatively good response, there has been a fall in Grey market premium today by  10-20% indicating wavering of investors and operator’s  faith in the issue in terms  of its ability to give desired  listing gains.

L&T Infotech IPO elicited good response in the opening hours on Day 1 and was subscribed 1.23 x on overall basis with QIB 1.76 x  and retail 1.38 x.

L&T Infotech IPO elicited good response in the opening hours on Day 1 and was subscribed 79% by 1300 Hrs

10/7/16

Despite some concerns on IT sector , company’s lack of differentiation and large concentration in BFSI,  the L&T infoTech on account of reasonable valuations and current rush for IPOs should see reasonable demand. Would be interesting to see demand from QIBs in view of above fears which mainly relate to scenario for IT sector.

News : Company was actively in news on various fronts

  • CEO addresses 5 key concerns  over IPO https://t.co/ZtzeK1OMLx
  • UDAY KOTAK: L&T Infotech Biggest It Company To List In Last Decade
  • L&T Infotech looking for buyouts in analyticals
  • L&T Infotech to expand presence in “Internet of Things”

 

 

Even as IL&T InfoTech is coming at a fair price  and till today a grey market premium of Rs. 80-90 exists on the IPO rate of 710/-, the IPO may no where be able to recreate the magic of Quess Corporation & MahaNagar Gas.

This negative sentiment stems from :

  • Feeling that growth of Indian IT companies shall be under pressure for net 2-3 years
  • Run of the Mill business model followed by company without sufficient differentiation
  • High exposure to BFSI segment
  • Frequent management changes in past
