CDSL IPO

CDSL IPO Analysis

Central Depository Services (India) Limited (CDSL) is entering the primary market on Monday 19 June 2017 with an offer for sale (OFS) of up to 3.52 crore equity shares of Rs. 10 each by BSE, SBI, Bank of Baroda and Calcutta Stock Exchange, in the price band of Rs. 145 to Rs. 149 per share. Listing is expected on 30 June, on NSE alone.
CDSL’s operating profit (before exceptions) stood at Rs. 117 crore in FY17, up 19% YoY, while PAT came in at Rs. 87 crore, leading to net margin of 59%. FY16 reported an exceptional income of Rs. 33 crore.
As of 31-3-17, net worth stood at Rs. 533 crore, translating into BVPS of Rs. 51. Company is debt-free with cash and investments of Rs. 548 crore, or Rs. 52 cash per share. BSE holds 50.05% stake, which will shrink to 24% post issue, in compliance with the provisions of the Depositories Regulations. CDSL has 14 other shareholders including SBI (9.57% pre-offer holding), HDFC Bank (7.18%), Standard Chartered Bank (7.18%), Canara Bank (6.45%), Bank of India (5.57%) and Bank of Baroda (5.07%).    
At Rs. 149 per share, company’s market cap will be Rs. 1,557 crore, with EV of Rs. 1,009 crore. This translates into EV/EBITDA multiple of 8.4x and 7.3x based on FY17 and FY18E earnings, and a PE multiple of 18x and 17x respectively, which is not expensive. Since there are no listed peers, relative valuation comparison cannot be done.
However, on 14 Oct 2016, BSE sold 43.37 lakh equity shares representing 4.15% stake in the company to LIC at Rs. 79 per share. Upper end of Rs. 149 is 89% jump in sale price, in barely 8 months, despite the seller being the same, and FY17 profit growing only in double digit (and not doubling) during this period. While current IPO pricing is a steep premium to last transaction price, based on company’s steady growth and strong fundamentals, IPO valuations, nevertheless, appear fair.
Giving sound fundamentals, sector tailwinds and inexpensive pricing, the issue is a subscribe.

The Buzzing country: North Korea

After every day or two a news comes in related to North Korea and market reacts sharply to it. The latest news came yesterday as North Korea confirmed that it tested a nuclear bomb which created earthquake of magnitude 6.3. US already warned North Korea not to do all these stuffs related to nuclear tests but all the warning has been neglected by the other side. Kim Jong- un is not listening to any one and he continues to do what he want to do. He is also even threatening to US and probably he is ready for a nuclear war. Donald Trump reacted to this test and is trying to find a way how to counter this without getting involved in a war. He asked to stop all trade with any country doing business with North Korea. Probably Trump is hinting towards China which is the lone country who supports North Korea behind the curtains. US along with his allies called for an emergency meeting on Monday to discuss about all options available. The fear of a war cannot be ruled out and if this happens...
