Pure Giftcarat Ltd (PGL) erstwhile known as L'avace Dirays Limited is primarily engaged in trading of bullion, diamond, pearls and precious stones, jewels, gold, silver, platinum and precious or semi-precious metals, ornaments, jewellery, articles of value made partly or fully of above mentioned materials, stones or metals. Currently the company is engaged in trading and retailer ship of diamonds in Surat. Its operations include sourcing of Diamonds from primary and secondary source suppliers in the domestic market and sale of diamond to the retail and wholesale operations in India.
To part finance its working capital requirement and general corpus fund needs, the company is coming out with a maiden IPO of 5730000 equity share of Rs. 10 each at a fixed price of Rs. 13 per share to mobilize Rs. 7.45 crore. Minimum application is to be made for 10000 shares and in multiples thereof, thereafter. Issue opens for subscription on 26.04.17 and will close on 28.04.17. Post allotment, shares will be listed on BSE SME. Issue is solely lead managed by Navigant Corporate Advisors Ltd and Bigshare Services Pvt Ltd is the registrar to the issue. Company’s entire current paid up equity issue is done at par value. Its current paid up equity capital of RS. 15.89 crore will stand enhanced to Rs. 21.62 crore post issue.
On performance front, the company has posted turnover/net profits of Rs. 4.23 cr. / Rs. (-0.03) cr. (FY13), Rs. 1.57 cr. / Rs. (-0.01) cr. (FY14), Rs. 0.51 cr. / Rs. 0.02 cr. (FY15) and Rs. 45.39 cr. / Rs. 0.08 cr. (FY16). For nine months ended on 31.12.16 of the current fiscal, it has earned net profit of Rs. 0.12 cr. on a turnover of Rs. 85.57 cr. Thus sudden jump in turnover for past 21 months is surprising. If we annualize the latest earnings and attribute it on the fully diluted equity post issue then asking price is at a P/E of 185 plus and at a P/BV of 1.3. As per prospectus details, it has not listed peers to compare with.
On merchant banker’s front, this is the third mandate from its stable and from the earlier issues one issue gave positive returns on the listing day and the last IPO of KMS Medi is yet to be listed.
Conclusion: Considering aggressive pricing, only risk savvy cash surplus investors may invest in this IPO.
