Review By on June 3, 2016

Yash Chemex Ltd (YCL) is a SMERA rated company engaged in importing and trading of dyes, chemicals and intermediates for textile and garment industry, water treatment industry, laminate industry, agrochemicals, adhesives, metal industry etc. The products focused are Tobias Acid, Beta Nephthol, Suplho Tobias Acid, J Acid, H Acid, Bon Acid and Melamine.

To meet its working capital requirements and raise general corpus fund, the company is coming out with a maiden IPO of 1092000 equity share of Rs. 10 each at a fixed price of Rs.23 per share to mobilize Rs. 2.51 crore.  Issue opens for subscription on 07.06.16 and will close on 10.06.16. Minimum application is to be made for 6000 shares and in multiple thereon, thereafter. After initial contribution at par, the company raised further equity at a price of Rs. 40 in December 2009 and March 2014. In March 2011 it allotted few shares at a price of Rs. 100 per share. It also issued bonus shares in the ratio of 1 for 3 in November 2015 and the issued further equity at a price of Rs. 20 per share in January 2016. Post IPO the existing paid up equity capital of Rs. 3.01 crore will stand enhanced to Rs. 4.10 crore.

Issue is solely managed by Pantomath Capital Advisors Pvt Ltd and Bigshare Services Pvt Ltd is the registrar to the issue.  Post allotment, shares will be listed on BSE SME.

On performance front, the company has posted turnover and net profit of Rs. 69.35 cr. / Rs. 0.08 cr. (FY14), Rs. 74.19 cr./ Rs. 0.09 cr. (FY15). For 10 months ended 31.01.16 it has posted net profit of Rs. 0.17 crore on a turnover of Rs. 48.63 crore. Surge in net profit is due to reduced finance cost. It we attribute current earnings on annualized basis on fully diluted equity post IPO then asking price is at a P/E of 46 plus making it highly priced issue.  There is no listed peer to compare with, as stated in the prospectus of the company.

On merchant banker’s front, this is the 19th IPO from its stable and earlier IPOs have shown mixed trends post listings.


Conclusion / Investment Strategy

As the issue is aggressively priced, risks aver investors with cash surplus may consider investment for long term.

Reviewer recommends Avoid to the issue.
