BHARTI INFRATEL IPO FAILS RETAIL TEST

Bharti Infratel IPO which closed today got less than 20% subscription in the retail category. As against 6.61 crore shares reserved for the category the issue got retail subscription to the extent of 1.20cr shares which works out to less than 20%. First Choice IPO while analyzing the IPO had indicated that this issue will fail in retail test. IPOs which fails to get good response from retail category are likely to list at heavy discount to issue price, unless manipulated.

MARKETS TO BOUNCE BACK TODAY

FIIs have been aggressively buying in the last few trading sessions and yesterday they have net bought in excess of Rs 1000cr.  Markets across globe closed slightly lower yesterday. Markets are expected to bounce back today led by Infra, Cement, FMCG, Metal and I T stocks.

BHARTI INFRATEL IPO CLOSES TODAY : AVOID

Bharti Infratel IPO in the price band of Rs 210-240 with Rs 10 discount to retail investors closes today. Although the issue has been sailed through, largely due to QIBs support, the retail interest has been very luke warm. The IPO has been irrationally priced. 

AVOID THE IPO. Post listing it will settle down around Rs 120.

ICICI BANK OPENS 101 RURAL BRANCHES

ICICI Bank, the largest private sector lender in the country, has opened 101 ‘ Gramin’ branches, in six  states, yesterday, as part of its financial inclusion plan.

QIBs BAIL OUT BHARTI INFRATEL IPO

Bharti Infratel IPO just managed to get one time subscription till today. QIBs have bid for almost 3 times the shares reserved for the category. Domestic Financial Institutions, Banks and Mutual Funds have not shown much interest. They have bid only  for 78 lac shares. In the retail category the IPO has received just 6 % subscription. The issue closes tomorrow for all, except QIBs portion for which today was the last day. The IPO is unlikely to get full subscription in the retail category.

ITC IS SECOND MOST VALUED COMPANY

Diversified business conglomerate ITC has beaten the I T major TCS to occupy the second slot as the most valued company. Its market cap as on yesterday stood at Rs 2.41 lac Cr. RIL occupies the number one position with a market cap of Rs 2.69lac Cr. TCS at third position has market cap of Rs 2.40 lac Cr.

BHARTI INFRATEL IPO MAY FAIL RETAIL TEST

Bharti Infratel IPO which closes tomorrow has received 35% subscription so far. Retail subscription so far is only to the extent of 3%. Considering the size of the issue the subscription in retail category is disappointing. The IPO is unlikely to get one time subscription from retail category.  We feel the issue has been irrationally priced and it will settle down around Rs 120, post listing.  STAY AWAY FROM THE IPO.

Bharti Infratel (BI) is a provider of tower and related infrastructure and on a consolidated basis. BI is one of the largest tower infrastructure providers in the country based on the number of towers that BI owns and operates. The number of towers owned or operated by Indus, that are represented by Bharti Infratel’s 42% equity interest in Indus.

The  business  of Bharti  Infratel  and  Indus  is  to  acquire,  build,  own  and  operate  tower  and  related  infrastructure. BI and Indus currently provide access to their towers primarily to wireless telecommunications service providers on a shared basis, under long-term contracts. 

Bharti  Infratel’s  and  Indus’  three  largest  customers  are  Bharti  Airtel  (together  with  Bharti Hexacom),  Vodafone  India  and  Idea  Cellular,  which  are  the  three  leading  wireless  telecommunications  service providers in the country by wireless revenue. BI has nationwide presence with operations in all 22 telecommunications Circles in the country. As of 30-09-12 Bharti  Infratel owns and  operated 34,220  towers  in  11  telecommunications Circles while  Indus  operated  110,561  towers  in  15 telecommunications Circles.


OBJECTS OF THE ISSUE

The Company proposes to utilize the funds raised from fresh issue of equity towards funding:

(a)  Installation of 4,813 new towers;
(b)  Up gradation and replacement on existing towers; 
(c)  Green initiatives at tower sites; and 
(d)  General corporate purposes.

MATTERS OF CONCERN:

1. Increasing  competition  in  the  tower  industry  and  increasing  tariff  pressures  on  Bharti  Infratel’s  and Indus’ customers may create pricing pressures that may adversely affect the business.

2. Company’s operations may be affected if various regulatory measures with respect  to  tower  sharing  among  wireless  telecommunications  service  providers  and  certain  other telecommunications related matters are implemented. 

3. Merger, de-merger and subsidiary accounting carried out by the company is really a maze. It is difficult to decipher.

4. The  average  cost  of  acquisition  of Equity Shares  of  the Company  by  its Promoter  is  Rs 0.0003  per Equity.


VALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS

Bharti Infratel is still on shaky ground despite having steady structured contracts with its customers.  The sector has high growth potential.  However the offer is very unattractive.  At the upper end the offer is made around 50 PE and at 42PE at the lower end on its FY 13 earnings. The fair valuation would have been around Rs 100.  The price band reflects the immaturity of the BRLMs and the greed of the promoters. The company post IPO will have equity of Rs 1888cr. With EPS of around Rs 4 it would find very difficult to service such large equity.  There are symptoms this IPO may go Reliance Power way as for as listing is concerned. We strongly advise the investors to stay away from the IPO.
