Note that Cash generation from Operations is still NEGATIVE. However, Valuation Model for Jaypee is not purely on DCF or P/E, but rather Sum of the Parts is the best fit.
According, to various brokerages, the Sum of the Parts Valuation of Jaypee Infratech ranges from Rs 99 to Rs 125, quite reasonable in our view. WE Recommend Investment in the Issue only from Medium to Long Term Perspective. Jaypee Infra has attracted Maximum Bids at Lower Range, so there is a scope of making ~ Rs 10 / Share on Listing, if the management allots at the lower end of the price band.
Expected Date of Allotment – May -19th and Expected Refund Date – 20th May.
Jaypee Infratech despite hiring 9 investment banks to sell its IPO just managed to get 1.2 times subscription . Moreover this was done at the lower end of the band . . Jaypee because the opacity and subjectivity in valuation of these real estate companies is too high. You should expect a huge discount due to this uncertainity which investors were not getting in this IPO
