IPO Watch
- Dixon Technologies IPO opens today. Issue price of Rs 1,760 - Rs 1,766
Brokerage View
Centrum: ‘Avoid’ rating on the back of low margin business, high valuations, 90 percent of the issue is offer for sale. There are better investment opportunities in the market.
Angel Broking: Subscribe for a mid-to-long term period as the company will report higher revenue, margin improvement owing to its presence in high growth segments, experienced management and growing share of original design manufacturer segment.
- Bharat Road Network IPO opens today. Issue price of Rs 195 - Rs 205
Brokerage View
Angel Broking: Neutral rating as valuations leaves limited scope for further appreciation to issue price. Company present only in build–operate–transfer (BOT) project segment; lack of engineering, procurement, and construction segment makes its highly dependent on the traffic growth and price increase for improving its profitability.
ICICI Securities: Avoid rating as valuations are at par with other established players. At Rs 205, issue d at 1.4 times FY17 price-to-book ; price band should have been at a discount to IRB Infrastructure (trading at similar levels).
