Mr.Market sees IPO opportunities as quickest way to gain money on listing day. But the average performance post IPO is not satisfactory.

In coming months/years we will seeMushroomsof IPOs and our Key objective is how to find rare companies from it. We are not discussing here short term gain but looking for long term story. Identifying those companies with attractive valuation is very important. What are the points to consider while reviewing it. What are the warning signals.

Snowman Logistics is +70% on listing date. Clear reflection of market heat wave.

First it was subscribed almost 60 times and now heavy return. There have been disappointment from most of the subscribers because only 1% of total subscribers got the allotment.

The similar story is expected for Sharda Cropchem.

Now big questions -

  • Value investor should participate on such issues even though higher valuation or not ?
  • If yes then what are the merits, signals, etc ?
  • In case of Snowman topline, bottomline growth is 40% hence can it be valued above +50 PE ?
  • Safety measurements for participating in quality IPOs.
