•    Company is engaged in the business of trading of scrap.
•    It follows B2B model of working.

Company’s business model is based on B2B model wherein the Company sells the scrap to the business enterprises who further transform the scrap in to finished product as per their requirements.

To part finance its working capital, general corpus fund needs, RML is coming out with a maiden IPO of 1644000 equity shares of Rs. 10 each at a fixed price of Rs. 26 per share. The company mulls mobilization of Rs. 4.27 cr. with this issue. Issue opens for subscription on 24.09.18 and will close on 27.09.18.

For last three fiscals, it has posted an average EPS of Rs. 1.57 and an average RoNW of 9.27%. Issue is priced at a P/BV of 1.46 on the basis of its NAV of Rs. 17.84 and at a P/BV of 1.3 on the basis of post issue NAV of Rs. 20.02.If we consider FY18 earnings and attribute it on fully diluted equity post issue, then asking price is at a P/E of around 17. Thus issue is fully priced discounting near term positives.

COMPARE WITH LISTED PEERS:
As per offer documents, it has no listed peers to compare with.

MERCHANT BANKER’S TRACK RECORDS:
On merchant banker’s front, this is the 7th mandate from its stable in last two fiscals. Out of last 6 listings, 1 opened at discount, rest at a premium ranging from 0.70% to 8.75% on the day of listing.


Conclusion / Investment Strategy

Fully priced issue with inconsistent track record makes it a risky bet. Cash surplus, risk savvy investors may consider investment at their own risk.
