I couldn’t find it on SEBI website
But almost all news Channel has the same news so must be correct
Any how it’s just a delay /hold which is not unusual with IPO
Manappuram was due for rapid correction given one way upside move
Need a break before next move

Thanks for sharing the information

Fascinating chart: EPS is rising, yet the price-to-earnings is decreasing. Similarly, book value is increasing, but the price-to-book is declining. Unsure if I’m overlooking something or if it’s a market oversight.


It’s unexpected to find such a paradoxical chart during a bull run. Curious to see how long the graph will maintain this paradoxical trend.

Well, mostly market looks at Pure Price and there hes been a good increase. There should be a are rating now that promoter issues is behind and business continues to do well.

I think ,Few smart bulk deals which took place in last 12 months

first to catch the upside was SBI in March 23 at 105

Then in September 2023 Elizabeth Mathew entered at 141

And now

Marshall Wace picked up 51.27 lakh shares at Rs 174.55

Once Manappuram establishes that:

  1. Bank competition not affecting them too much , enabling over 10% growth in gold loans.
    AND
  2. are able to do non-gold business which is new to them with manageble NPAs with respectable growth
  3. gold prices don’t correct sharply
  4. no regulatory and political issues
  5. consolidated profit growth of 15-20%

Then it will be considered as a well balanced NBFC and will get better and sustained valuations

But usually market gets an idea well before the story unfolds and clarity appears

And stock makes upmove way before story is completely clear

retail investors participates when picture is clear but at that time valuations are super rich and gains are limited

I believe its just noise since they also picked up stake in multiple financial companies. What will matter more is the IPO Listing of Aasirvad and maintaining the growth momentum for the stock to get re-rerated.

anticipating robust performance from Manappuram in the upcoming earnings report, especially with the NBFC sector demonstrating a consistent 7-11% quarter-on-quarter growth trend. Expecting revenues to surpass 2300 crores and profits to exceed 600 crores. If all factors align, there is a possibility of witnessing a reevaluation of the share price.

The festive and marriage season is anticipated to further bolster the company’s growth trajectory. Positive results in line with the aforementioned projections would yield an earnings per share (EPS) of 7 for the current quarter. Assuming a sustained growth pattern, the EPS for the next fiscal year is projected to surpass 26 on an annual basis.

Manappuram appears undervalued in comparison to its peers such as IIFL Finance and Muthoot, considering various parameters including market capitalization to sales ratio, price-to-earnings ratio, and others.

Margins have slightly decreased for asirvad, and based on my projection, the revenue is expected to surpass 2350 crores. If Gold Home and Vehicle perform exceptionally, it could potentially exceed 2400 crores. In the absence of a negative impact on gold, and considering that the future OI is lower compared to the previous period during result announcements, there is no restriction on upward potential even after the results are declared.

The performance is unsatisfactory, as gold isn’t contributing to growth in AUM or revenue, possibly due to intense competition from banking entities.

The potential reclassification of the company as a microfinance institution rather than a gold financier could be perceived favorably by the market, particularly considering the typically higher valuations accorded to microfinance entities. Investors may find reassurance in acknowledging the company’s diversified operations beyond gold lending, potentially mitigating concerns associated with gold loan growth.

They should not do it since they will violate one of the immutable laws of branding. Rather, they should spin off Aasirvad Microfinance which will accord higher valuation. As a result, the parent company will also get re-rated.

Why are they unable to grow their gold loan book needs to be seen closely. If they are purely a microfinance institution as a group, why not take our bets elsewhere?

To take other bets ,We need to find company growing at 15- 20% at PE of 8 with high dividend yield with good ROE ,excellent positive cash flow

Overall in last 5 years growth is around 20%

if we find any better valuations elsewhere then such bet can be taken

Here we are getting a chance of rerating to PE15(8-20) with ongoing 10-20% growth

Now moving towards diversified NBFC
Post covid Gold loan growth affected by huge competition from everyone

Not sure this conpetetiob is permanent or temporary

Market May not give better valuations to this script ,unless consistent gold loan comes

Management :
Ashirwad ipo hoping for positive news
New branches Hoping for positive outcome
Gold loan hoping for 8-10% annual growth
Gold loan some quarters will be flat while some will show growth
Non gold growing well
Still majority of gold loan is with unorganised sector so all players have enough pie

Valuation point well-taken. An NBFC cannot replace a bank. A bank is a bank for a reason. The value will get unlocked once the micro-finance entity gets demerged. MFL is still undervalued and with price changes perception.
