FPO Update 27th Feb
- The FPO sailed through finally with a subscription of 2.83 times the offering.
- This was good enough for the firm to price the FPO issued shares at 150. For Retail post discount, it is Rs 144.
- As a result a Retail investor who had applied for the maximum number of shares still got only 36% of applied number.
- The shares were deposited into demat accounts over 21-24th. On 25th Tuesday we saw the share price dip to a low of 145.5, and 4% by price by EoD. As expected volumes went up, and a lot of FPO allotted shares changed hands.
- The next day, the share recovered by almost 3% to 151.4.
- My reading is that there is demand for the share and it should rise steadily from here.
- The Q4 results for EIL may be interesting. Typically the firm has a good last quarter as most of the clients are also PSUs. FY13 was an exception, and it was a bad year for EIL. This should change this year.
Good luck and happy investing.
