Tejas network IPO

Tejas network IPO: A brief analysis

Tejas network IPO is opened from today to raise Rs 450 crore via fresh issue. The price band of IPO is 250-257 per share.
Bengaluru based Tejas Networks supplies optical and data networking products to telcos, internet service providers, utility and defense companies in over 60 countries, with exports accounting for a third of its Rs. 880 crore topline.
Coming onto the financials, FY17 consolidated revenue stood at Rs. 878 crore, with EBITDA of Rs. 174 crore, translating into EBITDA margin of 19.8%. While topline has grown at 24% CAGR since FY13, growth was not linear, with FY15 topline contracting 9% YoY, with similar fate of bottom line. FY13 PBT of negative Rs. 79 crore rose to Rs. 3 crore profit in FY14, dropping to Rs. 18 crore loss in FY15, which rose to Rs.29 crore in FY16 and finally to Rs. 64 crore in FY17. Such fluctuations in financial performance does not post a sound picture of company's fundamentals.
Interestingly, there is no identiable promoter in the company and 100% is held by ‘public’ category shareholders.
Tejas Networks IPO is steeply priced, in addition to a weak balance sheet.
Citing poor fundamentals and expensive valuations, avoid this IPO.

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...
