      Looks grim due to poor results. Let us wait for this quarter results.

    @marketwizard : brought 77 shares at 655 shall i hold oo sell ? if i hold what cud be the target and in how many days ?

      Hold Polycab for the target of 700 within 2 months.

    Forwarded as Received

    *Polycab India LtD*

    Now We can Compare with KEI Industries, but I would give Little Premium over *KeI Industries* to *Polycab* due to Shift from Only Wires and Cables to FMEG(Fast moving Electrical good), although contributes less than 15% but growing at *35-40%* CAGR
    And *Polycab* is building its Brand

    Now *KEI Industries* trades at *10* times EV/EBIDTA and *20 Times Earnings* for FY19, with Little high ROE but little more debt than *Polycab*

    Now *Polycab*

    At *10* times EV/EBIDTA for FY19 price come at *640*
    And *10 times EV/EBIDTA* *FY20* price comes at *680-690*

    PE of *20 FY19 price comes at *620* and PE of *20 for FY20* price comes at *670-680*

    Sales Growing at More than *15-18% CAGR*

    We have To watch out it’s *Electrical Good business* which have high Margin, and command High EV/EBIDTA,

    So if we give *11 times FY20 EV/EBIDTA*
    Giving a premium of *10% over normal due to Electrical good business*

    *Price comes at *750*

    So Anything less than *630-635-620-610*

    *Would command a buy*

    *670-680* anything less than sell would be selling cheap

    So *620-640-680* listing expectation.

    Got 3/9.
    What should be the strategy.
    Should I hold or sell on listing?
    Thanks in advance.

      Sell 50% on listing and then hold 50% with stop loss at 600. Very high chances of breaking 700 if follow up buying comes after listing.

      Best of luck to all allottes.

    I have applied for 10 lots through SBI net banking. BUT Not allotted to me OR EVEN get refund my money in my bank account. please help.

      Hi Neha,

    Consolidated Brokerages Views on Polycab IPO

    Angel: ” In terms of valuations, the pre-issue P/E works out to 16.7x its FY2019 annualized earnings (at the upper end of the issue price band), which is slightly lower compared to its peers like Finolex Cables (20.7x) & Kei Industries (20.x). Further, Polycab’s market leadership position in wires & cables segment, diversified product portfolio, strong distribution network & brand recall and proven financial track record are the key positives. Given the above favorable factors, we recommend Subscribe to issue. “

    Capital Market: ” Score 48/100, As the FMEG business further matures and more and more products are added in the category, the leverage on the existing distribution network and economies of scale provides a good scope for margin improvement in the FMEG business. The issue is offered at reasonable valuations and offers margin of safety for investors.”

    Dalal Street Journal: ” At the higher price band of Rs. 538, the offer is demanding a market cap to sales (FY18) of 1.14 times, which is lower than that of Havells that has current market cap to sales of 5.8 times. However, the other key player KEI Industry is trading at market cap to sales of less than one. In terms of PE, the offer is made at around 21.6 times its FY2018 consolidated EPS of Rs. 24.95 on a post-issue equity share capital of Rs. 148.64 crore of face value of Rs. 10 each. Havells is currently trading at a PE of almost 70x, while KEI industries is trading at a PE of 22.12x.
    Looking at valuation matrices, we believe that the offer is attractively valued and you can subscribe to the issue.”

    ICICIDirect: “At the IPO price band of | 533-538, the stock is available at a price to earnings multiple of 22x FY18 EPS. We believe the issue is available at attractive valuation, considering its leadership position in the wire & cable industry, low debt/equity (~0.3x) ,attractive return ratios (RoCE ~21%, RoE ~16%). We recommend SUBSCRIBE to the issue at the offer price. “

    Religare: “Polycab’s fundamental track record has been sound over FY14-18 with revenue and PAT CAGR of 14.2% and 42.8% respectively led by margin improvement (+150bps), higher other income and lower interest rate. We believe the strong performance of the company would continue on the back of positive industry growth prospects largely due to government
    initiatives in power and infrastructure, an increase in industrial investment, a rise in consumer spending and an increase in exports of
    wires and cables”

    SMC : “ Polycab India manufactures and sells a diverse range of wires and cables and their key products in the wires and cables segment. The company is engaged in the FMEG segment, which has bright prospects ahead. Moreover, the LED lightning arena is in advance mode.

    I have two accounts with HDFC bank in the name of me and my spouse. I could register only one upi id for one account and a number associated with that. My spouse’s account too is linked with dmat but a upi can’t be registered as we have one common cellphone. We have installed Bhim (independent) upi app and created a upi id linking my spouse’s HDFC account but the id is like abc@upi and not abc@hdfcbank. Can an ipo application be made using this abc@ipi id linked to HDFC account?

    KEI Industries and Polycan both have shown good growth both in Top line and bottom line.

    For Havells, it is more of Top line and rather degrowth in the bottom line.

    The Havel valuation are very expensive at current level.

    KEI among three listed is available at reasonable Valuation.

    If we give same valuation to Poly cab it’s Mcap could be in range of 9000 Cr.

    As per market estimates vide OFS the promoters and IFC ( the arm of World Bank) are selling close to 2.488 cr there by getting 2000 Cr. So as per this price could be in range of 800
