Topic: Indiabulls Power IPO
Posted By: Crimsonarcher
Subject: Indiabulls Power IPO
Date Posted: 18/Oct/2009 at 10:58am
Indiabulls Power is going for an IPO, where they are issuing 339,800,000 shares to the public with a green shoe option of 50,900,000 more shares at a price range of 40-50.

So in effect they are raising 1360-1758Cr rupees from the public for a company that has not even started any production. Already they have received bids for 22 times this share qty or , 29900-38676Cr. I haven't had a chance to look at the prospectus, but RJ,Ramesh Damani and SamirArora have already called the Power Sector as the new internet bubble with valuations hitting the sky with no operational performance. Has anybody invested in the IPO, and what do you hope to gain out of this? Considering the latent demand of 22 times the actual qty of shares available, there might be some listing gains, but that justify investing?

Exactly... so what are the people buying at 45 rs a share? and what about the anchor investors? what are they getting? Utilities have life spans in decades, and even then give marginal returns to shareholders, so what would people get by buying into adani power, reliance power and now indiabulls power? Cash goes out upfront while people wait for returns their whole life!.

I saw their prospectus and again its blank on the 'Basis for Price' section. In fact based on historic p/e, its quoting at 90+ P/E on an issue price of 45rs a share. For a utility company it should not be more than 10 so you do the math. the share should be priced at 4-5rs. And once again the promotors have priced the share at the maximum offer price of Rs 45 a share.

there was a report today on TV claiming that there's lot of loopholes in their  power project. The project land has not received a NOC, forget about even a single brick laid on that land....furthermore, the project was changed from critical (or was it super critical) to sub-critical project and there's some legal implications which are still amidst process...

This IPO is a near perfect demonstration of money attracting more money. Smile
 
How i wish we rozi roti folks could monetize all our future earnings in the stock market.

yeah... its amazing what you can do with the stock market. I've even forgotten about the reliance power IPO... what they had proposed in the prospectus would all comeup by 2017...but they got the money upfront for all of that

I would like to add 2 important aspects to avoid this IPO:
1. Since the company is still to begin its operations, it has no income from operations and earned Rs 141 crore as other income in FY09. As such, it cannot be evaluated based on price-earnings model.
2.The uncertainty is higher in this case as the first commissioning is almost 3 years away. Further, the progress in each project is still limited, which may get further delayed, as there is no formal agreement for debt financing so far. Further, it will require a total of Rs 7,800 crore of equity for its announced.


-------------
Success in not final and failure is not fatal, it is the courage to continue that counts.

Also,

the land designated for this project, which was taken from farmers on lease, as become an issue, as farmers were told that this would be used for IT and there will be lot of progress in the area, and now they find there is going to be this power project and now they are threatening that they will do whatever they can, but will not let the project come up, as pollution will make useless surrounding areas as well, and hence they will be totally out of livelihoods.. there was this full article on UTV bloomberg.
They also showed the land itself and not even boundary walls are there.. not even a single brick has been laid.
 
Seems like indiabulls has raised a lot of cash for  project they have thought of doing, but where , nothing has even begun .
 
Permission from Environment and Pollution board is sought for this project and they have not even received that till now.
 
 
Why dont people just buy some solid power company already listed... ?
 
Indiabulls power is going to bomb on listing and if not, i will be very surprised!!!
 
best wishes,
samir

 A similar play was Austral Coke with an IPO price of 195 sub levels where it is now trading at 16 Rs. Trust our Investment Bankers to value our companies properly. A jhopda can have a MarketCap of 1000 crores in their eyes!LOL

Investment bankers make their money as a fraction of the amount they raise. So the more shares issued at higher prices the more money they make. Same goes for the promotors. When they issue shares, they have no incentives for helping retail investors from whom they take the money. Its only foolish retail investors who hand out the money hoping to make a quick buck, not realising the issue is highly priced. I rarely invest in an IPO, unless i understand the fundamentals clearly. Indiabulls financials when they came for an IPO at 19rs a share, they needed the money to expand their business and being a new promotor, no one would give money easily and hence they had to price very cheaply. Not anymore.

small correction here....Austral coke is 16rs as a FV rs1 share so if you want to compare it with its IPO (at that time it was FV rs10 share) price you should compare 195rs vs 160 rs....and not 16....

This is another point about companies splitting their stock from 10Rs face value to 1... what is the benefit of that? Nothing changes fundamentally, and the stock price is not so high that retail investors cannot afford to buy and also the company is not doing as well as an infosys that the share needs to be split... just more gimmicks to get higher valuations. but these tricks don't last beyond a few years!.

well you know its always a good sign for a vigilant investor....when such companies quoting at 200rs decides to split its FV it is a strong signal to the vigilant investor that something is amiss here...you know they gave bonus shares...split the FV to rs 1 and then planned to raise huge amount of money...now all this in a matter of one month....when such things happen one should be extremely cautious of investing in such a firm...

Finally it listed and is now trading at 39Rs, or some 13% discount to issue price. Watch it go a lot lower...again retail investors would get burnt like in case of Reliance Power all in the hopes of listing gains from a 'Well Established' promoter..
If indiabulls were really serious about investor money, they would first fix the business model of their retail division, and not keep churning out companies by taking on more and more money from investors in order to build a 'Group of Companies'. Did Google ever launch every new product of theirs under a new company and after they launched google get into the power busines, financial services, real estate etc? they would diversify only if the original shareholders would benefit, not for the benefit of promoters only.

well, to be honest after seeing the condition of so many power IPOs and the valuation of Indiabulls power, if the investors expected to make money of this overtly priced IPO then they deserved to be doomed....

"The company, which is in the process of developing four power projects in India, has sold 16.98% of its stake through the IPO excluding the greenshoe option. Including the greenshoe, it would be 19.04%."

The company, which is in the process of developing four power projects in India, has sold 16.98% of its stake through the IPO excluding the greenshoe option. Including the greenshoe, it would be 19.04%.

The issue was subscribed nearly 22 times, though retail customers bid for just 1.1 times their allocated lot. Institutional investors bid for 40.5 times the number of shares earmarked for them, while high net worth individuals' portion was subscribed 5.8 times.

1. At what price did promotors subscribe to the shares?? I'm sure its not 45 Rs.
2. They gave some 17% shares to the public and raised 1500Cr, but still hold 83% of the company with themselves, and i'm sure they hardly paid any amount for this. Would you give 17% ownership of your house for 1 Cr, while retain 83% of your house for no down payment? In effect someone else is paying for you to stay in your house!!!
3. Retail investors had low subsription, while Institutional investors subsribed 40 times...does the money belong to the institutional investors? would they do the same with their own money?? Of course not...institutional money again comes from retail investors and other companies..
So you decide if this IPO is worth it.

One must admire the adroitness of the promoters in raising money from the markets.
 
A few years back they saw the real estate wave and picked up money for their real estate plans. Now they saw the "Power" wave and picked up money for their power ventures.
 
If green were to be the next hot think...i'd surely expect India Bulls Green to be next in queue.

A friend of mine subscribed for 2000 shares ( I advised him strongly not to buy, but he was sure) and he subscribed thinking he will get 300-400 due to oversubscription.. and guess what,  he was alloted 1500 shares!!!!
 
i guess they can keep announcing 6 times oversubscribed, 20 times.. or even 30 times, but it is possible, that sometimes its a scam, as the oversubscription can be cancelled on some pretext or the other... no pan no. or whatever....
 
Meanwhile, have a look at this little article on india bulls on Bloomberg UTV.....

Exactly...people think its only a 40-45 rs a share, and i'm getting 2000 shares so its great..but not one person realises the value of it could be less than 5 rs also because they are issuing shares by the crores. Its just paper for them, but you are putting your money with the promotor. I'm not sure if they exercised the greenshoe option (i think they would have), in which case your friend would have got the complete 2000 shares...and would have to wait 5-10 years before he sees 5% returns on his money, that is if he has the patience to hold on till then.

unlike last time the correction this time is not across the board.a closer look shows that cos who have delivered on results and have giuded positively for the future are not getting thrashed around on the other hand an hul, punj, rcom etc are being sold for reasons well known. whether i spoke too early or not will be known only in hindsight

Why is that samir...i think the mkt has run up a lot, and earnings needs to catch up with valuations...which they are not doing currently. Mkt might still go up another 10%, but it needs a time wise correction before another big upmove.

Seems to be working and is up 5% today. But the point is how do you value a stock with no earnings and only book value?After all you paid in the cash, and now the company only has that cash as book value.

A few ideas for the promoters:
 
1. The company can pay some dividends from the money collected?
Atleast we can value it on an yield basis. Wink
2. They can announce a stock split and a bonus.
3. They can announce the beginning of a new project.
 
BTW my guess is the promoters are doing high fives already busy scheming about their next BIG idea.

he he...
means, if stock crashes, like it has,they will prop it up.. even if its just artificial.. or they will play it, until more sucker investors come by so that they can dump the same on the suckers...
 
Did not know this practise existed.. now i know..
 
So is NHPC also going through 'market making'..i certainly hope not.. as i would be one of the suckers who bought into this market making!!!

or go in for a follow on offering/rights issue to pay the dividends....or get some gullible foreign promotor to put in some more cash to prop up the shares... sound like a ponzi scheme.

My point in bringing this up originally in the NHPC thread is that we should be cautious in following arguments that X, Y, and Z have bought this and so we should too since the argument was presented there. That's all.

Whether MS' decision to be a market-maker for two years is an investment decision or a business decision should be understood.

Market making shouldnt be at all confused with market-rigging.
 
Market makers are there to reduce the impact cost. Thats their main function.
 
By the way, if companies can issue shares with ' safety nets', then why is amrket making illegal?

I dont know if morgan stanley is doing it with private funds, or from morgan stanley public funds.. because, if MS is buying indiabulls as it promised to be 'market maker' during IPO..  i think its possible, that people holding the morgan stanley are getting a raw deal..

No doubt they might prop up the price, even 2 or 3 fold it, as someone with huge amount of money can..and even make money for the fund holders.. but to buy indiabulls, which is fundamentally a big zero at this time, and that too in huge quantity, while there are definitely better fundamental stories around, does not make feel so comfortable..

If it is legal then it is a big shock to me atleast
 
Market making shouldnt be at all confused with market-rigging.
 
Market makers are there to reduce the impact cost. Thats their main function.
 
By the way, if companies can issue shares with ' safety nets', then why is amrket making illegal?


Market making is perfectly legal. There are time limits (in this case, 2 yrs) and also value limits (only upto a certain amount will be used for market making; also present in this case).

The 'safety net' is a kind of price the company extracts from the lead managers for the fat fee and also for proper advice. With this, the IPOs will hopefully get priced at reasonable levels. If not, the lead- and co-managers suffer.

Nice article: http://www.vccircle.com/500/news/indiabulls-power-ipo-a-risky-investment

Interestingly LN Mittal invested in this @ 33 Rs a share. So mkt has found its level to this price now..

But what is worse is inorder to make money, they would give orders to faulty chinese manufacturers purely on cost and not quality...there is just no pride in workmanship anymore!. Capitalism at its worst!!

Even adani power is below IPO price at 93 now, and everybody knows the debacle of rpower!

Out of the 'newer' power stocks, only NHPC is worth a look , that too, if one is looking for atleast a 5 year horizon.... i am amazed at punters buying into the other ones..just herd mentallity, nothing else.

i thought even adani power...isnt it true that is plants are going to generate revenues from this quarter onwards ?

Nhpc is already generating profits and has plenty of MegaWATT capacity already and actually shows Q on Q profits.. which is not the same that can be said with conviction about many new entrants.

 
No doubt, india needs power desperately.. and everyone producing power is going to end up selling its power to some state or another.. but i rather stick with an old hand rather than a 'new' hand at this.

IndiaBulls is not alone in this. Several other power companies have gone "Chinese". Government-owned companies in other sensitive sectors such as telecom too have gone "Chinese".

Given the state of our relations with that country, I find it amazing.

Exactly...how in the world would you as an investor make money in power stocks??? Tata Power, Reliance Energy, NTPC have been around for so long, and not one investor has mentioned those as multibaggers...then how come these?these?

I know a mere doubling doesn't figure as a multibagger, but if one has more modest targets ... Wink

TODAY'S PICK (Latest Audio: http://blogs.thehindubusinessline.com/audio/?cat=14 - English/Tamil )
http://www.thehindubusinessline.com/2009/11/09/stories/2009110951260400.htm - Tata Power Company (Rs 1271.5): Sell
We recommend a sell in the stock of Tata Power Company from a short-term perspective. It is evident from the charts of the stock that its intermediate-term uptrend that commenced in March low of Rs 602 was arrested at Rs 1,487 in late ...

I think Jindal Steel and Power has also done quite well.

Yar you have to see the valuations also. Since march, almost everything has doubled. Valuations in march were unusually low. Let me see if any analyst recommends tata power going forward???
Even Rakesh Jhunjhunwala made good money in tata power (maxium a doubler), but that again was because he bought in the bear mkt and sold in the bull mkt. But since then he never invests in power stocks because utilities cannot give great gains ever. Max a 10% gain YOY. In anycase he has called the power stocks the 'new' internet!. That sums it up

Power will probabaly end the telecom way, as a utility stock and best for dividends.
 
having said that, one must also take into account, market fancy for a sector, and until India becomes power surplus, and i think it might take  few more decades,there will always be interest in power stocks.
So,probabaly, not because of just quarter on quarter results, but due to just market fancy, power stocks will perform during bull runs.
 
Personally, i would not buy into the same unless its a small quantity to keep on the side... I do like PTC though, as i see power trading a better bet than generating power.

Yeah that i would agree...not to throw the baby with the bath water    Power sector is hot right now or should i say 'electric', but you need to look at business models in that sector and not necessarily power producers. I too like PTC and even Sunil Hitech & Kalpataru!!

Why am i not surprised!!!

http://economictimes.indiatimes.com/markets/ipos/Indiabulls-Power-hikes-public-issue-size/articleshow/5216615.cms

Power project developer Indiabulls Power Ltd today said it has decided to increase the public issue size by up to 5 crore shares. Also Morgan Stanley India Company Private Ltd is acting as the stabilising Agent to the issue, it said. In all the public issue and the Green-Shoe option, if exercised in full, would aggregate to 39.07 crore equity shares amounting to Rs 1,758.15 crore, it said.!!

39Cr shares just to the public, not sure how many are there with promotors, institutions etc...talk about creating money from thin air!.


Posted By: Crimsonarcher
Date Posted: 07/Feb/2010 at 10:09am
Just saw the shareholdings of this company today, and promotors control over 80% of the equity, and I'm not sure how much they invested to get hold of that, against the public which had to shell out 45 rs a share only to lose 30% of it post issue. I hope people would be wise to invest with them next time!!!

notional loss I am yet to sell. Have conviction in what you buy or dont buy. There is a difference between speculation and investing. I have invested in this stock because I am from a very very resourse starved and economicaly challenged place. I believe most of the problems will disapear if we have 24 hours electricity.
These people have delivered on India Bulls Securities it was a Rs 16 IPO if I remember correctly

Yeah thats true...Indiabulls has been a performer though they have had their hits and misses. This should do well in the long term for sure, and their capacities are only 1/2 to 1/3 of what Reliance is planning, so its bound to do well.

But that is the point, how many retail investors read the prospectus...they can't even make out if Rs45 is a good price to buy this stock or not. But I'm a fan of the company for the businesses they have built so rapidly...they might have some crashes esp the retail arm but they can execute as well as anybody!.

Power companies have successfully converted god-fearing retail investors into 'Private Equity' investors. Most power companies are in such a nascent stage of developing their business that only PE investors would normally be interested in investing.

And folks who invested in IB Power, Adanai power chose not to invest in NTPC. Real PE investors   


Posted By: aloksahi1971
Date Posted: 09/Feb/2010 at 1:05pm
NTPC price has already been discovered and most retail investors have seen it has a very hindu rate of growth. Their project execution is flawed. All their projects have a slur of kickbacks indicating that choosing partners or suppliers is not dependent solely on cheap and best rather some other motive. Now that it will lose its monopoly it will go the same way as BSNL or MTNL. The only bright part is that they will have captive buyers for their produce.
The scallinng up in India Bulls power , reliance poer or Adani will be at a much much heigher level.

Yeah thats true, and I don't deny its not a good company...they are setting up capacities that are 1/3 of reliance power and it would only grow over time, and they might have the same capacities as reliance power. In that scenario the share can definately touch 150-200 levels also. So it can definately be a multibagger from here, but then the thing is was it a good buy at IPO price of 45? Maybe only time will tell.

Look at price of a stock if you need to buy or sell it.The goal is to know the direction of a company . In case one is trading I feel the technicals matter.But If a person is willing to wager on the long term prospect of the company and he has no need of the cash invested then the stock price is hardly a matter. i plan to sell This particular share in 4  years time when a number of power projects of the company will be either commisioned  or in the final stage so let us expect that the price then is Rs 120/ .Say a gain of 50% every year How About that now!!!!

The ticker in my opinion is the state of the mind of the FII at any given point of time fundamentals are far more easy to predict than the flow of capital to the bazar if  in the long term you require Power you need these Generation companies.

So in effect they are raising 1360-1758Cr rupees from the public for a company that has not even started any production. Already they have received bids for 22 times this share qty or , 29900-38676Cr. I haven't had a chance to look at the prospectus, but RJ,Ramesh Damani and SamirArora have already called the Power Sector as the new internet bubble with valuations hitting the sky with no operational performance. Has anybody invested in the IPO, and what do you hope to gain out of this? Considering the latent demand of 22 times the actual qty of shares available, there might be some listing gains, but that justify investing?


I don't have much idea about that but you can refer to dalal street investment journal. They will guide you better as they are into this for last 24 years.

Its not hard to find the information. Check this out
http://economictimes.indiatimes.com/markets/real-estate/news-/Farallon-LNM-to-pick-stake-in-Indiabulls-co-invest-Rs-1580-cr/articleshow/2784336.cms

Indiabulls real estate picked up 58% of the company at 10 Rs a share, Farallon 14%@34Rs/share and LNM 8.5%@33Rs/share at the peak of the mkt. Since then they have sold to the public at 45 Rs a share and no wonder its drifting towards book value of closer to 30 Rs a share, which is nothing but capital put into the company. So if you want to buy this, this is a great price, similar to what many of the foreign investors have bought into...people investing in the IPO have already lost 30% of their money here!.

People always find a reason to buy...how about a reason to sell??? Cheapest???What does that mean??? Didn't the company know book value before quoting for an ipo at 45 rs a share? well they did because that is the price given to ln mittal and farlon...then why higher price to retail?

Also what is book for a company that has just placed orders for equipment?? isn't book the money raised from investors right now??? sometime investing just baffles me!!
