The table clearly shows that it has been a mixed bag for investors. Especially after October 2017, there has been 13 listings in green and 10 in red so 40% of the total IPO are in negative since last 6 months. This clearly tells that there is a froth in the primary market offerings.

The one that are in negative or very small gain but looks attractive from investment perspective to me are following:
  • Just Dial
  • Monte Carlo
  • UFO Moviez
  • Pennar Engineered Building Systems
  • Precision Camshaft
  • Quick Heal
  • Advanced Enzyme
  • BSE
  • Music Broadcast
  • GTPL Hathway
  • Matrimony.com
There has been listings of many insurance companies including ICICI Lombard, Reliance Nippon, HDFC Standard Life, SBI Life Insurance and I see very high valuations for them currently except for General Insurance.

There has been some good listings such as Sharda Crop Chem, Mahanagar Gas, Manpasand Beverages, CDSL which happened at slight gains to the issue price and then based on performance, stock price ran away. In Warren Buffett's  language, I was thumb-sucking at that time and lost these opportunities. I did buy some like L&T Infotech at around 650, which is below IPO issue price, and now I am handsomely rewarded as the stock price is hovering around 1600.

Among all the companies, the most stellar of them is Avenue Supermart (DMart) which came with issue price of 299, listed at 590 and now trading at 1500. Some of the good returns has happened due to heavy overvaluation such as that in Dilip Buildcon, Teamlease Services, Quess Corp, PSP Projects, Shankara Building Products, Apex Frozen Foods, Astron Paper and many others from the above list including Avenue Supermart too. Many are trading at stratospheric valuation and would give big heartache to investors when the tide turns.

Updated on 27 Oct 2018: I have updated the list with latest price as of today since a lot of action has taken place in two months. I had already mentioned some names which looked overvalued at that time out of which only Astron Paper and Teamlease have not corrected much otherwise Dilip Buildcon has gone down by 70%, Quess by 40%, Apex Frozen by 50%, Shankar Building by 45% and even Avenue Supermart has corrected by 17.5%. Even the one that I found interesting such as Pennar, Quick Heal, Matrimony have gone down by 30% or more. The one which has withstood the carnage have been shown with green color and some of them were already in my portfolio such as Larsen & Toubro Infotech. Some I added in the correction such as Sharda Crop Chem, Precision Camshafts, Bharat Dynamics etc...

Tale of two IPOs

I typically avoid looking at IPOs but I do visit the companies which come out with IPOs after few years to see what they have done and how the stock prices have reacted. In this post, I will analyze Precision Camshaft and GNA Axles. Precision Camshafts came out with IPO in January 2016 while GNA Axles came out with IPO in September 2016. Following table summarizes the IPO details:

GNA AxlesPrecision Camshafts
Issue Price207186
P/E @Listing17.122.3
Current Price550103
P/E Now29.124
Gain/Loss165%-45%
Average Operating Cash
Flow in 3 Years
37 Crore83 Crore
Enterprise Value
(Market Cap + Debt)
1297
(1180 + 117)
1090
(980 + 110)
P/B Now3.571.75

The above table shows that in one company, investors have gained 165% in around 1.5 years and in the other, investors have lost 45% in around 2.25 years. The reason for more enthusiasm in GNA Axles is growth in recent times while flat revenue growth for Precision Camshafts since last two years. In 4 years between 2012 and 2016, Precision Camshafts average revenue (average of 3 years) grew from 260 Crore to 471.5 Crore while that of GNA Axles revenue grew from 349 Crore to 482.6 Crore. The only problem is that GNA this year has increased revenue as well as profits while Precision's revenue topped in 2015 and is decreasing since last 3 years now.

I personally feel that some premium for GNA Axles is justified but such large variation of valuation just due to growth in recent years seems far fetched. If you have to invest right now, I would go with Precision Camshafts.
