Sandhar Technologies IPO: Assessment
- Compared to its peer Minda Corporation, Sandhar Technologies Limited is priced at a higher PE.
- Reduction in debt with IPO proceeds will improve Sandhar Technologies Limited bottom line in coming years.
- PE firm GTI Capital which held 17.47% stake in the company since Dec 2012 is exiting 72% of its holding . The PE investor will continue to hold 4.21% stake in the company, post IPO.
- Akash Bhansali of Enam picked up a stake of around 5% in Sandhar Technologies Ltd from GTI Capital,
- Sandhar Technologies Limited posted strong performance during first half of the current fiscal.
- The diluted equity share capital of the company at upper price band of Rs 332 stands at Rs 60.19 crore of face value of Rs 10. This gives an EPS of Rs 6.5 for FY 2017. The P/E on FY 2017 earnings works out to 50.5
- Due to steep valuation being demanded, I do not intend to apply in the Sandhar Technologies IPO even as the company seems quite promising and auto sector is expected to do well. There could be change in opinion only if there is good response to the Sandhar Technologies IPO.
