Narayani Steel Ltd (NSL) is engaged in trading and manufacturing of hot rolled long products of value added steel. The company primarily trades in blooms, TMT Bars, billets, pellets etc and also manufactures TMT bars and other long products such as rounds, flats, angles, channels etc. Company aims to grow on PAN India basis and make its brand a distinguished name in the industry.
To part finance its working capital requirements and generate corpus funds, the company is issuing 3600000 equity shares of Rs. 10 each at a fixed price of Rs.32 per share to mobilize Rs. 11.52 crore. Issue opens for subscription on 01.09.16 and will close on 06.09.16. Minimum application is to be made for 4000 shares and in multiples thereon, thereafter. Having issued equity at par during 1995 to 2008, it further issued equity at a price of Rs. 25 to Rs. 100 per share between 2011 and 2013. Its current paid up equity capital of Rs. 7.31 crore will stand enhanced to Rs. 10.91 crore post issues. Post allotment shares will be listed on BSE SME. Issue is lead managed by Pantomath Capital Advisors Pvt Ltd and Bigshare Services Pvt Ltd is the registrar to the issue.
On performance front, for last four fiscals, the company has posted turnover/net profit of Rs. 475.92 cr. / Rs. 1.16 cr. (FY13), Rs. 580.25 cr. / Rs. 1.59 cr. (FY14), Rs. 599.96 cr. / Rs. 1.55 cr. (FY15) and Rs. 504.07 cr. / Rs. 1.39 cr. (FY16). It has suffered a setback for last fiscal. If we attribute the latest earnings on the fully diluted equity capital then asking price is at a P/E of 25 plus against 20 or below of its peers thus making it a pricy bet. However, the issue price is below 1 P/BV.
On merchant banker’s front, this is the 24th issue from its stable and it has mixed trends for its past mandates.
Conclusion: Pricing of the issue is on the higher side with nothing on tables for new investors. However, cash surplus risk savvy investors may consider it for long term investment; other may give it a miss.
