• On the fully diluted post IPO equity shares capital of Rs. 18.27 crore, the stock is being offered at a PE of  around 15 based on annualized 9 month  FY 17-18 earnings. If this rate of profitability can be maintained, the valuations are reasonable.

• I intend to apply in SIRCA Paints IPO as the issue is at a reasonable price and Paint sectors has shown consistent growth. With switch over from 100% trading to setting up a manufacturing as well, the company’s performance may undergo a change and competition from established players cannot be ruled out. One also needs to keep a watch on subscription levels which should pick up on the final day.
