Recommendation on Shiv Aum Steels Limited IPO:
Review and Recommendation of InvestorZone is: 4/10
[ The valuation looks attractive. The company is the authorized distributor of many reputed Steel companies such as Jindal Steel & Power Limited (JSPL), Steel Authority of India (SAIL), Rashtriya Ispat Nigam Limited (RINL), Monnet Ispat & Energy Limited (MIEL) and Vandana Ispat Limited (VIL). However, the slowdown in the steel sector might be the problem for the company in the coming quarters.]
The slowdown in the steel sector is the main issue with the company:
The wider economic slowdown is not likely to spare the domestic steel industry, with three credit rating agencies raising the alarm on falling profitability at steel mills.
Profit margins for steel companies are expected to get further squeezed between weakening domestic steel consumption and a weak outlook for global growth amid escalating trade war tensions, rating agency Icra said in a report on Wednesday.
Over the last four quarters, operating profit margins of the domestic steel industry have been on slippery ground, declining steadily from 22.6% in Q1 FY19 to 18.2% in Q1 FY20. This downward trend in profitability is expected to continue in Q2 FY20 as well, according to the latest Icra report on the steel sector.
The Indian economy grew at only 5% in Q1 FY20, the slowest in the last six years. With steel demand growth being dependant on growth of gross domestic product (GDP), domestic steel consumption growth slowed down to 5.7% in April-July of FY20, against 7.5% and 7.9% in FY19 and FY18, respectively.
The Company, as on March 31, 2019, has availed unsecured loan of 23.98 Cr at the interest rate of 15% pa from the director.
The amount of 15.10 cr raised from the IPO will be used to cut down this loan.
