What Should Investors Do?
Giving ‘subscribe for medium to long term’ tag to the Muthoot Microfin IPO, Shreyansh Shah, Research Analyst at StoxBox said, “Muthoot’s group loans (including income-generating loans and Pragathi loans) are based on a group lending model, catering exclusively to women. An informal JLG (typically comprising between eight to 45 members) provides joint and several guarantees for loans obtained by each member of the JLG. While the lender’s operations have historically been concentrated in South India, they have in recent years expanded into North, East, and West India and have a total of 707 branches across North, West, and East India as of September 30, 2023, representing 52.8% of its total branches as of September 30, 2023. Moving forward, the NBFC expects a significant portion of its future geographic expansion to include rural areas in these regions of India and intends to grow the branches in four key states: Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Rajasthan, and Punjab, which are underpenetrated. As the lender will utilize the net proceeds of the fresh equity shares issue to augment its Tier-I capital base, its capital adequacy will enhance and lead to a stable leverage position. At the current P/BV multiple of 2.3x, we believe the company is fairly valued and advise investors to “Subscribe” from a medium to long-term perspective.”
Giving ‘subscribe for listing gain’ tag to the mainboard IPO, Arun Kejriwal, Founder at Kejriwal Research and Investment Services said, “Microfinance companies are doing well on Dalal Street these days and the public issue may get benefit of this working theme. Hence, I am expecting positive debut of Muthoot Microfin shares on Dalal Street. However, the theme might not work well after a certain time. So, my suggestion on investors is to apply for listing gains only becuase there might be some consolidation in Muthoot Microfin shares after listing.”
