Adani IPO closes; likely to list around Aug 20

Adani Power IPO (initial public offering witnessed huge investors' interest and was subscribed 21.64 times. The issue received bids for more than 538 crore shares as against the issue size of 30,16,52,031 shares, as per the data available on the NSE website.

Qualified institutional investors have given strong response to the issue and their reserved portion was subscribed 39.5 times. Non-institutional and retail investors' portion subscribed 8.62 times and 2.97 times, respectively.

Amit Desai, Director of Adani Power said almost all bids were at upper end of the band, Rs 100 a share. The company, he said, was likely to list its shares around August 20, 2009

The price band was fixed between Rs 90 and Rs 100 per equity share. The net issue would constitute 13.47% of the post-issue paid-up equity share capital of the company.

The company intends to utilize the net proceeds of the issue to part finance the construction and development of Mundra Phase IV Power project for 1,980 MW and fund equity contribution in its subsidiary, Adani Power Maharashtra Limited, to part finance the construction and development cost of power project for 1,980 MW at Tiroda, Maharashtra.

Here is a verbatim transcript of the exclusive interview with Ameet Desai on CNBC-TV18. Also watch the accompanying video.

Q: Last we checked it was 14 times, what are your numbers suggesting?

A: As of 3 pm the overall number has gone close to 19 times – 18.85 times.

Q: How much of that is QIP? How much HNI and how much retail?

A: The QIP portion is oversubscribed by about 36 times. This is after the anchor investment allotment which has been done and HNI has gone past 4.5 times and retail is inching towards 2 times but of course I understand more bids will be uploaded between now and 5 pm for QIB and HNI and bankers are likely to seek little longer time for the retail bids update later in the evening.

Q: Where have most of the hits come at – the upper end of the band?

A: Almost 99% of the bids have come at Rs 100.

Q: So it seems likely that that is where you would choose to price the issue or because of this hefty subscription you will think of redoing it a little bit?

A: The bids have come at Rs 100 for most part of the issue and we would obviously now start discussing this issue with the investment banks but quite highly likely that we will go by where the bids flow has been.

Q: You placed two anchor investors at Rs 95, of course with the understanding that finally they would buy at the issue price but do you think it is likely that you may consider doing it at Rs 95 for goodwill – give Rs 5 to the investor or do you think you will make the anchor investors pay Rs 100?

A: All anchor investors have sent a separate communiqu̩ to the banks through which they came in that they would fully desire to participate at the rate at which the issue gets done. As such the regulation is that if we price the issue at Rs 100 Рthey pay the difference. So the fact that they have given the confirmation of Rs 100, they are not really looking at Rs 95.

Q: While you won’t get into specifics, just give a sense of the kind of names that have come into this QIB slot?

A: Very encouraging. Obviously the names would come out later but we have got demand from some of the highly respected long only investors from different parts of the world – Asia, Europe, US and domestic. So it is an extremely healthy combination in the book that we have been able to get as demand which is actually very gratifying.

Q: Does August 20 remain the proposed listing date if all goes well?

A: Absolutely. We are working towards that. The registrars and banks have been gearing up on that ever since the issue opened. So we surely are looking forward to list this scrip on August 20.

Q: How will you choose the institutions to which you will allot because there has been some talk that may be some of the institutions have got in for that flipping game – to buy now and to sell on listing day, can make a quick 10-25%? In that, would you be stringent on who you allot the stock to, so that these are slightly longer-term investors and not out for a quick buck?

A: This is not a discretionary allotment. This is a book built and at the price at which we priced the issue at that level whatever are the bids they get allotted in proportion of their application. So this becomes quite a non discretionary and very objective process.

Q: While you did indicate in your interview with Udayan a couple of days back that you’re not looking at any other fund raising mechanism, because of the kind of oversubscription you’ve got, would you look at tapping the market again to raise some money via QIP once you’re listed?

A: For Adani Power no. We do not need equity is what we have stated earlier and I think our objective was to raise this money for largely completing the equity funding of 6,600 megawatts. Balance money beyond what we need for 6,600 – a small proportion from IPO will go towards kick starting 3,300 megawatts and then we will finish that 3,300 megawatts from internal accruals. So a short answer to your question is no, we won’t come back to the market for Adani Power’s equity requirements.

IPO scam: Jhaveri settles case with SEBI

SEBI has agreed to dispose of pending proceedings against Mr Gautam Jhaveri for his involvement in the IPO scam of 2003-04, following settlement of the case through a consent order.

Mr Zhaveri who applied for the consent order, paid Rs 2.7 crore towards settlement, including a disgorgement amount of Rs 2.36 crore, settlement charges of Rs 23.6 lakh, compounding charges of Rs 9 lakh and legal charges of Rs 1 lakh.

The applicant (Zhaveri) had been proceeded against for irregular dealings in shares issued through IPOs, and for cornering shares meant for retail investors, making unlawful profits from the shares upon their listing.

SEBI had banned the applicant from dealing in the securities market; initiated adjudication proceedings against him, prosecution proceedings in the ACMM court in Mumbai under the Companies Act; and a protest petition before the CBI court for non-filing of chargesheet against the applicant.

SEBI’s consent order disposes of all these pending proceedings. SEBI will file an application for withdrawal of its protest application at the CBI special court, and shall not oppose compounding of prosecution in the ACMM court, the regulator said in its consent order.

Subscribe to Mahindra Holidays IPO: Angel Broking

Angel Broking has come out with its research report on Mahindra Holidays and Resorts India's initial public offering (IPO). Mahindra Holidays has opened for subscription with an IPO of 92,65,275 equity shares of Rs 10 each, at a price band of Rs 275-325 a share. The issue will close on June 26, 2009. The research firm has recommended investors to subscribe the issue albeit at the lower end of the price band.

Angel's report on Mahindra Holidays’ IPO:
Through this IPO, which also involves an offer for sale by the promoter company M&M, MHRIL intends to finance expansion of its resorts in Coorg, Ooty and Ashtamudi, and for setting up new ones in Tungi and Theog. However, MHRIL is being priced at a ‘considerable’ premium to the other listed hospitality players, who already have premium properties. Nonetheless, we believe that the good reputation enjoyed by the promoter group, justifies the premium valuation for the company to an extent, and hence we expect the IPO to be received well in the primary market. Also, in a pre-IPO placement that was done in February 2008, State Bank of India (SBI) and Jacob Ballas picked up 3% stake in the company at Rs 479 per share, which had valued MHRIL at USD1billion.

On the lower and upper end of the IPO price band, the stock would quote at 15.2x and 17.9x its post diluted FY2011E Earnings. On the basis of our workings on profits earned per member, we have arrived at a value of Rs 2,494 crore for the business, which translates into a per share value of Rs 296. Hence, we recommend a Subscribe on the IPO albeit at the lower end of the price band. Assumptions in our model: 1) Average revenue per member of Rs 2,25,000; 2) Estimated capex of Rs 34,200 to be made per member addition; 3) Marketing costs of Rs 75,000 per new member, and 4) Cost of providing service for the next 25 years Rs 63,925 per new member.

Buy largecaps, midcaps on dips; sell on every rise: Experts

It was a day of stark contrasts on Dalal Street. The frontline indices faced substantial selling pressure and continued to slide lower, while broader indices were in an orbit of their own, clocking stupendous gains The Nifty closed at 4,270, down 48 points, while the Sensex shut shop at 14,060, down 241 points.

Deven Choksey of KR Choksey Securities sees the Nifty trading between 4,150 and 4,500 in the short-term.

Anu Jain, Vice-President - IIFL Private Wealth Management, India Infoline, said the Nifty needs to consolidate at current levels. "The last 200 point consolidation on the Nifty happened between 3400 and 3600. Post that, it rallied further on. This is the same phase which is coming again."

Speaking on the rally in midcaps, Choksey said topline stocks have started becoming expensive and valuations are getting stretched, so investors have started catching up with some of the neglected midcap stocks at this point in time.

However, he was quick to caution that investors may fall into a trap because in many midcap stocks, fundamentals are not supporting these companies immediately. "It might take at least six-nine months before we could see the first results coming out from some of these companies. Some midcaps would be moving up and may discount the future in advance. That is where some investors may lose out on money."

Choksey advises investors to retain at least 70% portfolio and book profits in around 25-30% of the portfolio when the markets are rallying on the upside. "Investors should buy on dips and sell on rises. One will have to continue this activity for 25-30% part of the portfolio." Investors need not rush to make fresh investments in markets, he added.

Jain too advises investors to buy largecaps and midcaps on dips.

Don't get carried away with euphoria in markets: Experts

Yesterday, the benchmark indices closed on a flat note today amid huge volatility and also reported the highest ever turnover of Rs 157877.29 crore after seeing two upper circuits on Monday.

Commenting on the market's move, Dipan Mehta, Member of the BSE and NSE, said there was a massive buy order in the futures segment in the first few minutes of trade and because of the sharp rise in the implied volatility, there have been huge increases in the margins. "In some instances the margins have gone up anywhere from 4–5 times from what was there on Friday. That is causing a bit of a concern on the liquidity of the brokers." He added there may be some pressure on the clients or at least on traders who are in the futures market to try and unwind their short positions.

Mehta expects the market to get into a healthy trading range––maybe 200 points for the Nifty and about 600 points for the Sensex with today’s close being the midpoint.

On the whole, Mehta feels, the market will get into a nice rhythm and will see increased participation in terms of players as well as in terms of stocks. However he cautioned, it is important not to get carried away by the euphoria but still look for opportunities to increase exposure to equities.

While Amitabh Chakraborty, CFA, FRM President (Equites), Religare Capital Market, said one should be cautious at this point of time. He added though that there is a lot of optimism getting built-up on what the government will do in the budget or the next 100 days. Given the bureaucratic situation, he said, the new government may not be able to deliver in the next 100 days as the market is expecting.

However, Chakraborty added that with a stable government in place a lot of things would be happened––India would be re-rated from the S&P or Moody's point of view, the investment climate will improve and India would be a capital investment story. He added if India’s growth rate improves to 6–6.5% that will account to about 20%–22% of the global growth. According to him, a country that gives such kind of growth cannot be ignored. "So I expect USD 4–5 billion investments coming in the full year from the FII side." However, Chakraborty, like Mehta, added a cautious note saying, "I think retail investors should be cautious at this point in time."

Rajat Bose of rajatkbose.com expects a further upside on the Nifty. He said that 4,327 mark for the Nifty is a very crucial level. "If Nifty were to stay above that on a closing basis on a persistent basis then we can expect further upside."

According to him, between 4,450 and 4,469 is another resistance level. He feels now this band would be 4,300 to 4,475, or 4,500 at best.

Bose expects some kind of consolidation, especially after a vertical move of about 700 points. "So we require some kind of consolidation, and possibly, in that consolidation unless we see 4,549 not being crossed decisively by the spot Nifty, then maybe that support at 4,327 might be broken."

World's 8 Biggest Stock Exchanges

You either make or break your fortune in stock markets, it is said. And rightly so. While we often get to hear of men turning paupers overnight when the stock markets crash, tales of people like Warren Buffett and Rakesh Jhunjhunwala inspire us to dream big.

Here we present information about the world's eight biggest stock markets. They have not been ranked. Read on...

1. New York Stock Exchange: $21.79 trillion share trades
The New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) is nicknamed the 'Big Board'. This is the largest stock exchange in the world by dollar volume with 2,764 listed securities. It has the second most securities of all stock exchanges.

The NYSE originated on May 17, 1792. On that day, the Buttonwood Agreement was signed by 24 stock brokers outside New York's 68 Wall Street under a buttonwood tree.

The first office of NYSE was a room at 40 Wall Street rented for $200 a month. NYSE was gutted in the Great Fire of New York in 1835 and reconstructed soon after. In 1865, it moved to 10-12 Broad Street.

2. NASDAQ: $11.81 trillion share trades
The NASDAQ is the acronym for National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotation System. An American stock exchange, NASDAQ is the largest electronic screen-based equity securities trading market in the US.

It is owned and operated by the NASDAQ OMX Group.

With about 3,200 companies in its ambit, NASDAQ has more trading volume per day than any other stock exchange.

NASDAQ came into being in 1971 by the National Association of Securities Dealers. The latter divested themselves of it in a series of sales in 2000 and 2001.

NASDAQ was the successor to the over-the-counter (OTC) and the 'Curb Exchange' systems of trading. As late as 1987, the NASDAQ exchange was commonly referred to as the OTC.

3. The London Stock Exchange: $7.57 trillion share trades
London Stock Exchange, or LSE, is located in London, England. It is part of the London Stock Exchange Group plc.

At present, it is situated in Paternoster Square close to St Paul's Cathedral in the City of London. One of the largest stock exchanges in the world, LSE was founded in 1801.

The trade in shares in London began with the need to finance two voyages: The Muscovy Company's attempt to reach China via the White Sea north of Russia, and the East India Company voyage to India and the east.

Unable to finance these costly journeys, the companies raised the money by selling shares to merchants, giving them a right to a portion of any profits eventually made.

4. Tokyo Stock Exchange: $5.82 trillion share trades
The Tokyo Stock Exchange, or TSE, located in Tokyo, Japan, is the second largest stock exchange in the world by market value, second to the New York Stock Exchange, but 4th in terms of worth of shares traded.

It currently lists 2,271 domestic companies and 31 foreign companies.

The Tokyo Stock Exchange was established on May 15, 1878, as the Tokyo Kabushiki Torihikijo under the direction of then Finance Minister Okuma Shigenobu and capitalist advocate Shibusawa Eiichi. Trading began on June 1, 1878.

In 1943, the exchange was combined with 10 other stock exchanges in major Japanese cities to form a single Japanese Stock Exchange. The combined exchange was shut down and reorganised shortly after the bombing of Nagasaki.

5. Euronext: $3.85 trillion share trades
Euronext N.V. is a pan-European stock exchange based in Paris with subsidiaries in Belgium, France, Netherlands, Luxembourg, Portugal and the United Kingdom.

In addition to equities and derivatives markets, the Euronext group provides clearing and information services.

Not too long ago, Euronext merged with NYSE Group to form NYSE Euronext, the 'first global stock exchange'.

Euronext was formed on September 22, 2000 in a merger of the Amsterdam Stock Exchange, Brussels Stock Exchange, and Paris Bourse.

In December 2001, Euronext acquired the shares of the London International Financial Futures and Options Exchange, which continues to operate under its own governance.

6. Deutsche Borse: $2.74 trillion share trades
Deutsche Borse AG is a marketplace organiser for the trading of shares and other securities. It also is a transaction services provider. It gives companies and investors access to global capital markets.
Deutsche Borse was founded in 1992. The headquarters are in Frankfurt, Germany.

More than 3,200 employees of the exchange serve customers in Europe, the US and Asia. Deutsche Borse has locations in Germany, Luxembourg, Switzerland, Czech Republic and Spain, as well as representative offices in London, Paris, Chicago, New York, Hong Kong, and Dubai.

7. Borsa Italiana: $1.59 trillion share trades

It was sold to a consortium of banks, and operated under a S.p. A. holding company between January 2, 1998 and an all-share takeover by the London Stock Exchange on October 1, 2007.

8. SWX Swiss Exchange: $1.40 trillion share trades

Gemini Engi Fab withdraws IPO

Mumbai-based Gemini Engi Fab has called off its initial public offer on Monday, a day before its scheduled opening.

The Rs 44-crore issue was slated to open on Tuesday and close on Friday.

Poor response from qualified institutional buyers (QIB) is the main reason cited by he merchant banker for the cancellation of the issue.

Even a week ago, company officials and merchant bankers to the issue were confident that the issue would go through smoothly despite current dull market conditions. "It looks like as if the markets have stabilised at the moment and we have also priced the issue at a very decent level," Mr Sharad Rathi, Head-Marketing and Origination (Investment Banking), Almondz Global Securities (BRLM to the issue), had said at a press conference announcing the details of the issue last week.

The company had earlier postponed the issue by a month and a half and the price band was reduced substantially. "In the initial stages, QIBs showed interest in the IPO but now with the market tanking again they have backed out and they expect the markets to sink further," said an official with the merchant banker. He said that the company will enter the market at a later stage when things look better.

The company planned to issue 55 lakh equity shares at a price between Rs 75 and Rs 80.

The proceeds from the issue were to be used to part-finance the company's expansion plan of setting up a manufacturing workshop at Umbergaon in Gujarat. The proceeds were also to be utilised for the company's general corporate and issue expenses.

Up to 50 per cent of the issue was reserved for qualified institutional buyers, 35 per cent for retail investors and 15 per cent for non-institutional investors.

EdServ on
Meanwhile, EdServ another company which announced its IPO said that it would go ahead with its issue which is scheduled to open on Friday. The company has good QIB support and the retail interest is also good. As of now the IPO is on, said an official with the merchant banker to the issue.

Market conditions have not changed, they are the same what they were a few months ago. Investors are still wary about investing in the primary market, said Mr Prithvi Haldea, Managing Director of Prime Database.

There has not been an IPO since last October. Gemini Engi-Fab would have been the first issue to hit the market in four months, reports The Hindu Business Line.

Ambanis up on Forbes' richest CEO list, Mittal slips

They have lost more than USD 13 billion from their combined wealth, but still the two Ambani brothers have moved higher on Forbes' latest list of the world's ten richest CEOs, while Sunil Mittal has joined the league and Lakshmi Mittal has slipped two places.

Legendary American investor Warren Buffett has retained his top position on the annual list, but Indian-born steel tycoon Lakshmi Mittal has been toppled from his last year's second position by software major Oracle chief Larry Ellison.

Mittal has moved down to fourth position, while Mukesh Ambani, the elder of the two warring brothers, has jumped three positions to grab third rank this year.

The younger Ambani, Anil, has also moved up one place to sixth rank on this year's 'Forbes list of ten wealthiest CEOs'.

While another Indian business chief, Azim Premji, has moved out of the top-ten list, compatriot Sunil Mittal of Bharti Airtel has joined the league at ninth position.

IT major Wipro Chairman Premji was ranked ninth on the previous year's list. The total number of Indians on the list has remained unchanged at four on this year's list.

"Being a CEO isn't what it used to be. Crackdowns on corporate frills like private jets and over-the-top offices have become the norm, taking some of the fun -- but none of the stress -- out of running billion-dollar businesses," Forbes said.
