HUDCO acronym for HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION LIMITED is entering the capital market in April. Market participants are mistaking HUDCO as a housing finance company and comparing it with the likes of PNB Housing Finance etc. The fact is totally opposite as 89.88% of the loan book of HUDCO is to State governments and its agencies and 10.17% to private sector.
Housing Finance of total loan portfolio is 31.28% (30.34% to state govt for social housing loans, 0.40% to individuals and 0.57% to private sector companies) and 68.72% of the total loan portfolio is advanced for Urban Infrastructure like water supply projects, Roads and Transport, Power, Sewage and Drainage etc.
Average loan size for Housing finance is Rs.56.66 Crores and for Urban Infra it is Rs.54.54 Crores.
Further fixed rate borrowing constitutes 97.94% of HUDCO’s borrowings whereas it has lent 81.32% of its loans to borrowers at floating rate of interest which is a very serious mismatch in a falling interest rate scenario.
HUDCO was allowed to borrow at very attractive rate of interest via Tax free bonds till 2016 and tax free bonds constitutes 78% of HUDCO’s total borrowing. In the current budget the Central Govt has not provided this facility to HUDCO to borrow via tax free bonds and this will increase the cost of funds for HUDCO substantially.
Comparing HUDCO with REC would make one realise that the asking issue price of 50/- is very steep and fraught with huge risk for the investing public.
Excellent analysis and Kudos for comparison to REC.
should get decent return over long term as goverment is giving priority to budget housing

Fantastic comparrison between REC and HUDCO. Learning a lot from this forum on how to analyze companies. I always struggle a lot to analyze financial institutions and don’t even know what to look for other than some basic ratios.
While going through the investor presentation available in HUDCO website, what I found interesting was regarding their NPA, private sector contributes 61% and government sector contributes only 0.84% towards NPA. And HUDCO have decided to stop loans to priviate sector.
Hence in my opinion (I may be totally wrong) the NPA should improve in future if not to worsen further because of this decision.

I was planning to apply for the IPO, now what makes me rethink is the comprassion between REC & HUDCO, where REC PAT is 10 times more compared to HUDCO for almost same equity, and almost on every ratio REC fares better.
I kindly request the views of seniors on this to provide guidance on how to evalute further. Do we need to make more comparission with other companies.
Thanks in advance.
Equity of the two companies is nearly same, doesnt means mcap is same as well.
What will be market cap at upper band?
REC Market Cap is Rs.42660 crs and Hudco’s Rs.12011 crs. Annualised profit is 6569 crs and 695 crs respectively. PE ratio for REC is 6.5 times whereas for HUDCO at the upper band it works out to 17.65 times. Last five year compounded annual growth in income and profit for HUDCO is flat at 4% and 2%.

This analysis tells that REC and HUDCO cannot be compared , as they both give different kind of Loans .
Is there any proof to evidence this as co. in its presentation show on page 10 clearly mention 69% borrowing from tax free bonds.
HI,
Thanks for the good analysis, but the subscription rate really surprises!! any comments pls ??
Check subscription and cmp of S Chand.

Looks a good buy at these valuations.
Could someone share some anti-thesis pointers on why it can not be re-rated to 1.2/1.5 times P/B.

The government announced an offer for sale (OFS) of a 7% stake at a floor price of Rs 79 per share.
The OFS for 14 crore shares opened for non-retail investors on 18.10.23.
Retail investors could bid on 19.10.23. i.e. tomorrow
The 7% share sale was expected to yield about Rs 1,000 crore for the government. The floor price fixed at a 12% discount from the previous day’s cmp 89.92.
cmp cracked 9% today but it is still above the fixed floor price, does it make sense to add up, for retail invester or its better to wait ?
