Reblog: Sansera Engineering IPO review
- Originally SEL lined up its secondary offer in 2018, but finally enters the market now.
- Dilution in promoter’s stake remains a major concern.
- The issue is by way of offer for sale, no fresh equity is being raised.
- Based on its financial data, the issue appears reasonably priced.
Preface:
The company originally filed its offer documents for the same number of shares as OFS in August 2018 to mobilize around Rs. 1400 cr. and also received SEBI node, but it skipped the issue amidst uncertainties prevailed in the markets as claimed. At that time there were five BRLMs for fundraising exercises. It refiled offer documents in June 2021 and is now finally entering the capital market with its secondary offer with three BRLMs (Credit Suisse and BNP Paribas are not on the list). If we weigh both DRHPs, then the company has posted consistent growth in its top line but the bottom line marked inconsistency. However, based on financial data since FY16, the company remained cash-rich and did not want any fresh funding. The major concern that remains is the diminishing promoter’s holding which will come down to 36.56% from 43.91% post this issue. It’s worthwhile to note that while the secondary market was in a sluggish mood, this IPO mulled a collection of Rs. 1400 cr. and now when the secondary market is in pink of its health, they are planning mobilization of Rs. 1283 cr. i.e. they have reduced the valuation and kept something on the table for new investors.
