Radhika Jeweltech BSE SME IPO review (Avoid)

Review By on September 13, 2016

Radhika Jeweltech Ltd (RJL) is a well known and trusted jewellery retailer having showroom on Palace Road, Rajkot, the main market for buying Jewellery. It primarily sell gold jewellery and diamond studded Jewellery. The design and manufacture of products is done either in house or by third parties on job work basis. RJL's products have presence across different price points to cater to all customers across high-end, mid-market and value market segments.

Apart from own Jewellery the company is also dealing in trading of branded jewellery. The Company deals only in jewelry certified by BIS Hallmark. Since the system of hallmarking was legally introduced, Radhika Jewellers had been certified under the system. The quality Assurance department monitors and examines the jewelry designs inward in the stock to match the standard, thus the quality standard of gold jewelry dealt with is maintained throughout.

To part finance its working capital requirements and general corpus funds, the company is coming out with a maiden IPO of 6600000 equity shares of Rs. 10 each at a fixed price of Rs.75 per share to mobilize Rs. 49.50 crore. Issue is solely managed by Corporate Strategic Allianz Ltd and Satellite Corporate Services Pvt Ltd is the registrar to the issue. Issue opens for subscription on 14.09.16 and will close on 20.09.16. Minimum application is to be made for 1600 shares and in multiples thereon, thereafter. Its entire current equity is issued on 'other than cash' basis. Post issue its paid up capital will stand enhanced from Rs. 17.00 crore to Rs. 23.60 crore. Post allotment, shares will be listed on BSE SME.

On performance front, for last two year's its turnover /net profits were Rs. 133.70 cr. / Rs. 2.60 cr. (FY15), Rs. 137.16 cr. / Rs. 1.97 cr. For the current fiscal, till 22.07.16 it has posted turnover of Rs. 31.56 cr. with a net profit of Rs.0.54 cr. If we attribute latest earnings on fully diluted equity post IPO then asking price is at a 100 P/E that makes it a highly priced issue. Other listed peers are trading around 7 to 36 P/E.

On merchant banker's front, this is the seventh issue from its stable and earlier issues, most of them have shown dismal performance post listing.

Conclusion: No harm in giving this IPO a miss.


Conclusion / Investment Strategy

No harm in giving this IPO a miss. The asking price is at a 100 P/E that makes it a highly priced issue. Other listed peers are trading around 7 to 36 P/E.

Reviewer recommends Avoid to the issue.
