IPOs and Rights Issues / Re: CAMS IPO Reviews + Recommendations

« Last post by resh on September 21, 2020, 12:09:48 PM »

Sharad Avasthi of SPA Securities said,

At the IPO price of 1230 the price discounts FY20 EPS at ~35x while the p/b multiple stands at ~11x. While valuations seem to price all
that CAMS has achieved over the last decade in sync with the mutual fund industry, the advent of technology and increased speed of
technology absorption due to COVID may not be very beneficial for the company. Future outlook will largely depend on the increase in
AIF and insurance repository business improvement, which look very promising for the long term hence we advice investors to apply with a long term horizon.

Anand Rathi Analyst Anindita Chaudhury said

At upper price band of ₹1,230, the IPO is priced at 34.6 times FY20 EPS and 36.7 times FY21 EPS (annualized). While currently there is no listed player to compare, we believe the IPO is reasonably priced considering the latest numbers. We remain optimistic on growth prospects of CAMS, given its leadership position in the market, scalable technology with robust infrastructure, strategic growth initiatives, high entry barriers in the industry and gradual growth in AAUM in the coming periods. We recommend Subscribe to this IPO.

Geojit Analyst said,

At the upper price band of Rs.1,230, CAMS is available at a P/E of 34.6x and when we annualize Q1FY21 numbers we arrive at a P/E of 36.7x for FY21E on a post issue basis. Given that there is no listed peer to compare, and based on stable financial, we assign a subscribe rating on this IPO

IPOs and Rights Issues / CAMS IPO Reviews + Recommendations

« Last post by resh on September 19, 2020, 11:12:54 AM »

Computer Age Management Services - CAMS IPO is opening on Monday Sep-21st and closes on Sept-23rd.
Price Band ₹1,229 – ₹1,230 per share
Retail Portion: Not less than 6,322,435 Equity Shares - 35%
NOTE The issue is OFS by existing Shareholders and hence NO MONEY will flow into the COMPANY.

Here are the Research Reviews & Recommendations

Devesh Agarwal of IIFL Securities said,

CAMS is the dominant player in a two-player MF RTA industry, with 70% market share. It services 4 of the top-5 MFs in the country. Its revenue growth is directly linked to the AUM growth of its partner MFs and it is, hence, a proxy play on the MF industry. The opportunity landscape for the MF business in India is huge, given low penetration and financialisation of household (HH) savings, thus providing long-term visibility. The IPO valuation is at discount to the nearest comparables (AMCs, Depositories and Exchanges) and has scope to re-rate.

SMC has the following views,

Considering the valuation at upper price band of Rs.1230, EPS and P/E of FY2020 are Rs. 35.55 and 34.60 multiple respectively and at a lower price band of Rs. 1229, P/E multiple is 34.57; at upper price band of Rs.1230 , book value and P/B of FY2020 are Rs.110.65 and 11.12 multiple respectively and at a lower price band of Rs. 1229, P/B multiple is 11.11. No change in pre and post issue EPS and Book Value as the company is not making fresh issue of capital.

DealMoney Securities Ltd has the following recommendation,

CAMS is India's largest registrar and transfer agent of mutual funds with an aggregate market share of approximately 70% based on mutual fund AAUM managed by its clients and serviced by the company during July 2020. CAMS has  Leadership position, integrated business model and PAN India presence.  Based on FY20 consolidated numbers, the issue is priced at a P/E of 34.6x. at diluted EPS of FY20 Which is priced fairly therefore we recommend SUBSCRIBE over the issue for a long term perspective

JM Financial, HDFC Securities, Axis Securities, ICICI Direct have no recommendation for retail investors.

Experian-Equifax / Experian's View on COVID Impact

« Last post by resh on September 19, 2020, 11:02:47 AM »

Experian India is a leading credit-bureau in India and highlighted that retail unsecured lending is more concentrated in top-cities and nearly 60% of the loans were classified as Red-zone (i.e. higher Covid cases & longer lockdowns). While lockdowns are being relaxed, a reasonable part of lending and collections is still done physically, rather than digitally, hence it would reflect in growth and asset quality for lenders.

Mr. Sathya Kalyanasundaram echoed the high level of moratoriums across products and divergence across the lenders. He believes that this underlines the client-selection as well as capabilities to enhance analytics and build collection-machinery beyond credit-bureau scores. Interestingly, he pointed that borrower behavior indicates that borrowers who can repay, will actually pay-back all loans.

He highlighted that over the past month there has been a reasonable uptick in demand for consumer goods/ personal loans. Experian India's base case is that by October 2020, demand should revert to normalised levels. However, lenders are being very cautious on fresh lending so approval rates on applications are likely to be much lower. In the personal loan segment, he believes that ticket size of loans will fall as borrowers will also be more cautious and unlikely to borrow purely for lifestyle related loans

SmallCap Stocks India / Aavas Financiers + Music Broadcast

« Last post by komal on September 15, 2020, 12:22:51 PM »

Ambit Capital's Note on Aavas Financiers

During FY16-20, both real estate & housing finance companies have been under severe stress due to events like RERA, Demon, IL&FS and an economic slowdown. During the same period Aavas financiers, a formidable housing finance player has seen its market share more than double from ~1.4% to ~2.9% in the affordable segment. This has been on the back of 47% CAGR in AUM versus a 23% growth in affordable housing finance industry, while overall housing finance industry growth has been even lower at just 14%.

and on Music Broadcast Ltd  (RadioCity)
Music Broadcast has adopted a disciplined approach of profitable growth with focus on bottom-line. This has kept them away from poor capital allocation decisions like some of the peers. The company is profit leader in the industry and in tough times this allows it to gain over peers

MidCap Stock Picks / Britannia Industries - Good Days

« Last post by komal on September 15, 2020, 12:20:54 PM »

Here is an excerpt from Ambit Capital on Britannia Industries Ltd

Many would characterise the last few years as economically challenging years with a series of disruptive events such as demonetisation, GST reforms and now Covid to name a few. However the biscuit manufacturer of choice, Britannia Industries has been marching to a different tune. Biscuit market share has increased to 36%, a gain of 400bps in the last 3 years itself. During this period the gap between Britannia and its peer set has considerably widened and that too with good reason.

Real Estate / SEZ in India / 99acres - weak billings - operation metrics

« Last post by resh on September 09, 2020, 02:15:58 PM »

99Acres.Com Revenues declined by 24.7% yoy due to weak buy and sell activity in 1QFY21. Billings declined by a sharp 71% yoy, and this is indicative of continued weak real estate activity.

Brokers now contribute 56% to revenues (rest from builders and home owners).

Real estate has been already slowing down for the past few years and was severely hit by the long period of lockdown. Billings had declined 90% in April, 85% in May and 52% in June.

Rentals are still down compared to last year but form only a small part of overall business.

Total listings have recovered to pre-Covid levels. Dealers and developers are slowly coming back to the platform but have not reached back to previous-year levels.

Traffic recovered to 85% in June. Buyer traffic in August was up 11% from pre-Covid levels and 3% yoy. Buyer enquiries were up 65% yoy.
