Recommendation on Lodha Developers Limited IPO:

Lodha Developers Limited IPO Rating by InvestorZone team: 3/10 1. Lodha Developers 94% income comes from residential flats selling. And, rest comes from commercial selling. So, concentration risk is there in the company. 2. D/E of 3.86x is very high as compared to its peers. 3. The impact of Covid-19 is very high on Lodha Developers as compared to listed peers. 4. The current ratio of 1 is dangerous, if they can't able to sell inventory then they will be in trouble.

      Hello sir
      I have a doubt regarding ZOMATO IPO . If I own 1 share of INFOEDGE( NAUKRI) can I apply for the IPO under parent company sharwholder category

    Apr 8, 2021 11:49

    QIB = 0.58x

    HNI = 0.12x

    Retail= 0.19x

    Employee = 0.05x

    1. Lodha Group mainly construct projects in the MMR . MMR means Mumbai Metropolitan Region. Currently, out of 36 ongoing projects, 35 are being constructed in Mumbai. So, we can conclude that, they have presence in only one region.

    2. During covid-19 last year, their sales which was 5500 Crores in first 9MFY20 has gone down drastically to 3300 Crores in 9MFY21. And due to this, they are in loss for first 9MFY21.

    3. Now, again as cases of covid-19 rising in Mumbai and with lockdown is looking firm in few days, Lodha Developers will face lot of problems and losses will again rise.

    Bad News for the Construction companies in the state where Solid Waste Managenent Policy 2016 was not implemented. Supreme court has banned all construction activity in Uttarakhand, MP and MH and many other states where policy has not been implemented. This is negative for Lodha.

    Realty firm Lodha Developers Ltd is likely to reduce the size of its initial public offering (IPO) following lukewarm interest from investors. When they first went out on the road shows they were looking at a ₹ 33,000-35,000 crore valuation. Now, they are considering a valuation of ₹ 26,000-28,000 crore.

    Buzz in the market that the valuations have become a problem for Lodha. What they are asking for and what the market is ready to give, there is a gap in that.

    Last year the company sold close to an area of 1 million square feet and as on date, they have unsold units close to an area of 3 million square feet. So it will take atleast 3 years to sell out the existing units. However, as per management, the growth in Affordable housing is good and the company has around 50% portfolio of the same. With the govt. initiative of housing for all by 2022, the Lodha group may get a good advantage in this segment but with a condition that Modi Govt’s come back in power next year else this scheme may get derail.

    Q1 – 18-19
    New Sales Profits
    Oberoi 117%↑ 241%↑
    DLF 445%↑ 55%↑
    Shobha 22%↑ 50%↑
    Prestige 65%↑ 9%↑
    Suntek 42%↑ 69%↑
    Mahindra Lifespaces 5%↑ 93%↑

    Major turnaround for organised players in the sector. Both affordable and mid-income housing are doing well. At a good valuation, real estate may be a good opportunity to invest

    Company sales are 8-10k in tough market. Post IPO debt-equity will be 1.6:1. Looking at the size 13-14k debt is not very high. MD has said that in 2 years the ratio will come down to 1:1.

    My Three Mantra for an Investment in any company:

    1. Positive Operational Cash Flow, so that company meets out their expansion requirements and day to day expense with the internal accruals and don’t have to dilute equity or raise money via debt.
    2. The company should have less debt on books. D/E<2.
    3. The Company should have high ROCE ( >20%).

    I still remember how Dlf and other real estate companies like parsvnath Sobha developers ipo were launched with huge success and prove to destroy Investor wealth. Retailer usually lose heavy money if they remain invested in such companies with huge debt. Construction companies profit numbers are very volatile.only a few exceptions are there in private construction company which have given return .I would say avoid unless it price P/ e in single digit.

      I agree. Real estate companies have been mostly wealth destroyers..

    Lodha Developers IPO:
    Very high debt and infrastructure segment company. Totally avoid IPO, no need to do any analysis. Market never supports high debt companies.
    Many analysts try to convince by some arguments like it is mainly in residential segment.
    That is also not convincing me because of high debt and no boom in residential demand at present.

    Heard 30 rs Gmp…but i think not everywhere start….may be start soon…..

    As per DRHP of Lodha Developers, the company was considering a private placement of 95 lakh shares aggregating upto ₹750 crores. Which translates into a price of about ₹789 per share. The RHP will have more details about the private placement.

      No Mitesh bhai. Haven’t heard from any reliable sources. Will update as soon as we hear it..

      They just fooling people…The flats they sell for crores as 5 star or 7 star..There walls are made of gypsum/card board walls and wet sand under our flooring which will increase the moisture and can ruin ur plane walls.
      I request you to see your full flat before paying.

    All the real estates are not dull and also it is no matter whether the IPO is large or not. Promoters of Lodha Developers are trust worthy and have already completed some prestigious and vast projects. Now, if the fundamentals are strong and price band leaves some scope for investors, this IPO shall be successful one.

    DLF and other real estate companies are quoted at high PE multiples. Price band for Lodha DeveloperIPO is very important. otherwise it will get rejected from the market

    Lodha Developers IPO (Tentative Schedule)
    6 August 18 – Anchor List
    7 August 18 – Offer Opens
    9 August 18 – Offer Closes

      Political connection is always helpful for any business to flourish especially in India.

    About Lodha
    There Dream Project
    Lodha Trump Tower at Worli

    I would skip this issue.
    Simple reason high debt on books and real estate company.
    We all know how the previous private companies real estate have performed in long run.
    DLF, parsvnath,omaxe and many others have destroyed investor wealth.
    Avoid for long term investor. Also, i think listing gain might be limited as well even with high subscription

    In the commercial portfolio, they offer office space projects for IT campuses, high-end corporate offices and boutique office spaces, malls and other high street retail shopping complex.

    The Company’s residential portfolio comprises of affordable housing and premium housing consisting of luxury, high-end and aspirational developments. The company has a strong track record in the affordable housing segment. Moreover, the Government’ initiative of Housing for all by 2022 will definitely help companies which are there in the affordable segment and lodha group is having a good presence there as they have a Sales of ₹2751 Cr which was 39.5% of sales from affordable housing segment in FY17.

    The Promoters Mangal Prabhat Lodha, Manjula Mangal Prabhat Lodha, And Abhishek Mangal Prabhat Lodha As Trustees Of Mangal Prabhat Lodha Family Discretionary Trust (“Promoter Selling Shareholder”) Are Selling Close To 18000000 Equity Shares To The Public. Out of 18,000,000 Equity Shares, 450000 Equity Shares are reserved for Employee.

    1. Lodha Developers expected to raise 5500 cr from the IPO. The Issue would be a mix of Fresh shares and OFS by promoters.
    2. Lodha’s IPO would be the second biggest IPO in the real estate sector, after DLF that raised close to Rs 9200 Cr in 2007.
    3. Lodha Developers will reduce the debt with the IPO proceed. Net debt on books is 18000 Cr which will be reduced by 4500 Cr after IPO.
    4. The company has 37 ongoing projects, of which 35 are in Mumbai region and Pune in India and two in London.

    It is a real state company. The sector is laggard. Huge debt on books. Let us see how they priced IPO.

    Lodha Developers have around 17000 Cr debt on the books.
