Snowman Logistics IPO Update
Date 12th Sept 2014
- The IPO closed on 28th Aug with tremendous enthusiasm from investors. The issue was 60 times oversubscribed, a sign of a very positive mood for Indian markets in general and IPOs in particular.
- Institutions oversubscribed 17 times, Retail 41 times and non-Institution (HNI + corporates) a stunning 222 times.
- JainMatrix Investments has once again got it right – this IPO was a Buy recommendation and the listing looks successful for investors, so far.
- Obviously the IPO pricing was at the upper end of Rs 47.
- I expected this small 197 crore IPO to fly through in the very positive market, but this is a heavy downpour than a drizzle
- It has collected 12,000 crores – 60 times its offering and 77 times its FY14 revenue.
- My guess is that the success of the recent IPO, Wonderla Holidays has brought investors back to this platform.
Today’s Opinion
- Today Snowman Logistics has listed on the bourses, and at last check was already 68% up from the IPO price, at Rs 79
- My opinion of SLL is captured in report below – that its an aggressively priced offering, but still worth investing at IPO price from a one year perspective.
- I stay with this opinion, but we are now witnessing a financial flood whose fury cannot be gauged in the short term.
- Investors who were lucky enough to be allotted shares are advised to maximize their short term profits and exit.
- As I said recently, the IPO season of 2014 has now officially started.
