Jigar Cables Ltd. (JCL) is an ISO-9001:2015 certified company having its facility at Gondal, Dist Rajkot in Gujarat, manufacturing electric wires and cables as per national & international standards and customer's specifications. It sells its products under 'SIGMA' brand since last two decades. It has the vision of being most preferred supplier of best quality electrical products having 'Value for Money'. JCL has recently incorporated a new Company under the name of Jigar Polymers Limited, for manufacturing of PVC and XLPE as backward integration. This group came with Ultracab (India) Ltd which is considered its peer.
To meet its prepayment/repayment of debts and working capital needs, the company is coming out with a maiden IPO of 1864000 equity shares of Rs. 10 each at a fixed price of Rs. 30 per share to mobilize Rs. 5.59 crore. Issue opens for subscription on 18.07.17 and will close on 20.07.17. Minimum application is to be made for 4000 shares and in multiples thereon, thereafter. Post allotment, shares will be listed on BSE SME. Issue is solely lead managed by Pantomath Capital Advisors Pvt Ltd and Bigshare Services Pvt Ltd is the registrar to the issue. The issue will constitute 26.51% of the fully diluted post issue paid up capital of the company. After issuing initial equity at par on incorporation, it raised further equity at a price of Rs. 30 per share. Post issue, its current paid up equity capital of Rs. 5.17 crore will stand enhanced to Rs. 7.03 crore.
On performance front, the company (as partnership firm) marked declining trends in top and bottom lines from FY13 to FY 15 with turnover/net profits of Rs. 15.09 cr. / Rs. 0.03 cr. (FY13), Rs. 10.14 cr. / Rs. 0.02 cr. (FY14) and Rs. 8.05 cr. / Rs. 0.002 cr. (FY15). It posted turnover and net profits of Rs. 9.36 cr. / Rs. 0.003 cr. (FY16) and Rs. 13.36 cr. / Rs. 0.05 cr. (for period ended 6th February 2017 as partnership firm) and from 07.02.17 to 31.03.17 it posted turnover of Rs. 1.27 crore with a net profit of Rs. 0.002 cr. However, as per prospectus details, last three year's average EPS stands at Rs. 0.11 with average RoNW of 0.92%. If we take latest earnings (on combined basis) and attribute it on fully diluted equity post issue, then asking price is at a P/E of 428 and at a P/BV of 2.54 which makes this issue exorbitantly priced. Group Company Ultracab is currently trading around 450 P/E, whereas Cord Cables is trading around 23 P/E. However, as per company, peers are not strictly comparable with it.
On merchant banker's front, (as per details given on page 330-332 of prospectus) in last three fiscals -including the current one, it has brought 38 issues. Last 10 listing 9 have given positive returns on the day of listing where as 1 issue opened at par value.
Conclusion: Considering aggressive pricing of the issue, there is no harm in giving it a miss.
