Recommendation on Adani Wilmar IPO:

Review and Recommendation of  Adani Wilmar by InvestorZone is 3/10 1. Company’s portfolio of products spans across 3 categories: (i) edible oil, (ii) packaged food and FMCG, and (iii) industry essentials. They have presence across a wide array of sub-categories within each of these 3 categories. 2. Majority of their sales pertain to branded products accounting for approximately 73% of their edible oil and food and FMCG sales volume for the financial year 2021. 3. They have strong raw material sourcing capabilities are supported by their market standing and extensive business networks. They were India’s largest importer of crude edible oil as of March 31, 2021. 4. Business has shown good growth in the last 3 years. However, OPM Margins of 3.85% , NPM margins of 1.96%, and ROCE of just 12.75% are not good parameters as far as investment is concerned. ROCE of just 12.75% is very poor for Adani Wilmar. If you see peers like HUL, ITC, & Dabur have ROCE of 117%, 32% and 27%, which make them great companies to invest.

    ADANI IPO
    As Per RHP, Below is the explanation regarding shareholder category (whoever holding shares in demat on 19th Jan -> whoever holding even 1 or more AEL share in his demat on 19th Jan ):

    1. If you are applying in shareholder category under 2 lakh amount, then you can apply one more application(from same demat/same PAN) either in retail category or in HNI category also.

    2. If you are applying for more than 2 lakh amount in shareholder category then you can apply one more application in retail category also (from same demat/same PAN) but you cannot apply in HNI category.

    3. Allotment in shareholder category will be done in proportionate basis like HNI category so allotment is not guaranteed with 1 lot of shareholder application.

    4. Shareholder category will be identified using PAN number, so you can use different Demat account also to apply in shareholder category (still better apply from same demat account where AEL shares were hold on 19th Jan).
