Shriram Properties IPO: Assessment

  • Part of Shriram Group
  • 40% sales from customer referrals
  • The residential housing market performed strongly during the quarter ended September 30, 2021, i.e., the third quarter of 2021, with residential unit sales and new launches of residential projects experiencing the strongest results since the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic
  •  Shriram Properties is transitioning from a real estate development model to a combination of real estate development and real estate services based business model, with a shift towards an asset light business strategy.
  • Has successfully stabilized the development management (“DM”) model in their core markets having entered into definitive agreements for 14 projects which accounts for 31.92% of total total project portfolio.
  • In general Real estate sector has been going through considerable consolidation.
  • The pre-sales volumes grew at a CAGR of 22.61% between the financial years 2017 and 2021.
  • The company could report a net profit in FY22
  • Though company D/E ratio is comfortable it has huge liabilities.
  • it has a credit rating of BBB+/Stable from CARE Ratings.
  • It total outstanding borrowings of Rs 695.10 crore as of September 30, 2021.Despite a poor profitability record I may apply in small to moderate numbers  for the IPO on last day subject to good QIB response. This stems from good amount of faith in management, expectation of it turning profitable in near future, faith of large investors and favorable sector trends.
  • Investors must be aware that IPO is rather risky and immediate rewards if any will not be high. Omicron scenario also adds to  short term uncertainty
