Nuvoco Vistas IPO: Assessment
- India has the lowest per capita cement consumption at 200-250 kg, which is nearly half of world average of 500-550 kg.

- past five years.

- Nuvoco has well recognized cement brands in the market like Concreto, Duraguard and Double Bull.
- Nuvoco largely focuses on trade segment and mainly caters to individual home buyers. It generates 73% of it cement sales from this segment, as compared to average of 65-68% for other vendors.
- The IPO was last reported to be commanding a meager GMP of about Rs. 15.
- With an Enterprise value of about Rs. 25,000 cr, Nuvoco’s EV of $143/MT, as well as EV/EBITDA of 11x, is slightly lower than other large capacity cement makers like, Ultratech Shree cements, Ambuja , ACC , Dalmia Bharat etc. even as many of these large players have much better financials and performance.
- Iam positive on the prospects of Nuvoco Vistas IPO on a long-term basis only and listing gains are not assured.
- Nuvoco Vistas IPO does not promise much on listing but is on my radar due to strong sector-wise demand outlook, good show by many cement companies. I there is adequate response to issue from QIBs, I shall apply for the IPO in small measure.
