The IPO will remain open till February 18. RailTel is a government-owned information and communications technology (ICT) infrastructure provider firm and one of India's largest neutral telecom infrastructure providers. This would be the seventh initial public offerings this year, and second by the Ministry of Railways after it recently pared stake in Indian Railway Finance Corporation IPO— which listed at a 4% discount last month. Nearly all the brokerages have given a ‘subscribe’ rating for the issue citing long term as well as listing gains. According to investment experts about the RailTel business, the best thing is its exclusive right of generating additional revenues by creating nationwide broadband and multimedia networks by laying optical fibre cable by using the right of way along railway tracks. Per red herring prospectus, as of January 31, the company had the exclusive right of way along 67415 route kilometres connecting 7321 railway stations for laying optical fibre cable.

However, the grey market is not an official measure of the market premium. But it is a fair indicator of demand for the shares in the market. Outlook and Valuations According to Hem Securities, the company’s valuation is fully priced. But looking after the industry dynamics of telecom and telecom data services where the broadband market is gaining pace this will boost the company's performance in the future. “Also the edge which company holds over its peers in terms of financial performance makes this issue attractive to deploy the funds in,” the brokerage added.

The shares of RailTel listed at about 16% higher at ₹109 apiece, compared to the IPO issue price of ₹93-94 per share. Within minutes after listing, the shares of RailTel gained 7% of their value and were trading at ₹111.7 apiece at 10:05 am in an otherwise tepid market. The company's market value expanded to ₹3,669 crore after the listing. RailTel is a government-owned information and communications technology (ICT) infrastructure provider firm and India's largest neutral telecom infrastructure provider. Nearly all the brokerages have given a ‘subscribe’ rating for the issue, citing long term as well as listing gains. According to investment experts, the best thing is the company’s exclusive right to generate additional revenues by creating nationwide broadband and multimedia networks by laying optical fibre cable along railway tracks. The IPO was subscribed 42 times and generated bids worth more than ₹259.42 crore against the offer size of 6.12 crore shares. The portion of the IPO reserved for retail investors was subscribed 16.78 times, whereas the qualified institutional buyer was subscribed 65.29 times. Grey market premium fizzled out ahead of the listing Although the high number of subscriptions showed an excellent demand for its shares, just days ahead of the listing, the company's grey market premium fizzled nearly 62%, amid the high market volatility this week. The shares that were earlier commanding a premium of ₹35-40 were significantly down to ₹10-15 a share. The listing is also in line with analysts expectations — which predicted listing gains above 15%. “We expect <keyword id="293520" type="COMPANY" weightage="20" keywordseo="RailTel-Corporation">RailTel Corporation</keyword> to list at a premium of around 15% above the issue price. Company has priced its issue at 21.4x PE on a FY20 trailing basis, which is quite reasonable by looking at the strong future growth rates of the company,” said Keshav Lahoti, Associate Equity Analyst at Angel Broking. The price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio shows the price that the market is willing to pay for a stock based on its earnings. Higher the P/E, the more expensive the stock.

Here is why." mstype="2" mssubtype="0"></div> The IPO was subscribed 42 times and generated bids worth more than ₹259.42 crore against the offer size of 6.12 crore shares. The portion of the IPO reserved for retail investors was subscribed 16.78 times, whereas the qualified institutional buyer was subscribed 65.29 times. It would be worth watching if this high demand will reflect as listing gains on February 26, when the stock will hit the bourses. The shares were trading at a premium of <a href="https://www.ipowatch.in/2020/11/railtel-ipo-gmp-grey-market-premium-today.html">₹25-30</a> a piece in the grey market, ahead of the listing. However, the grey market is not an official measure of the market premium. But it is a fair indicator of demand for the shares in the market. <table style="border-width: initial; border-style: none;"></colgroup><tbody><tr><td style="border-left:solid #000000 0.9907650000000001pt;border-right:solid #000000 0.9907650000000001pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 0.9907650000000001pt;border-top:solid #000000 0.9907650000000001pt;vertical-align:bottom;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">RailTel IPO </td><td style="border-left:solid #000000 0.9907650000000001pt;border-right:solid #000000 0.9907650000000001pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 0.9907650000000001pt;border-top:solid #000000 0.9907650000000001pt;vertical-align:bottom;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">Qualified Institutional Buyer </td><td style="border-left:solid #000000 0.9907650000000001pt;border-right:solid #000000 0.9907650000000001pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 0.9907650000000001pt;border-top:solid #000000 0.9907650000000001pt;vertical-align:bottom;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">Non-institutional Investor </td><td style="border-left:solid #000000 0.9907650000000001pt;border-right:solid #000000 0.9907650000000001pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 0.9907650000000001pt;border-top:solid #000000 0.9907650000000001pt;vertical-align:bottom;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">Retail Individual Investor </td><td style="border-left:solid #000000 0.9907650000000001pt;border-right:solid #000000 0.9907650000000001pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 0.9907650000000001pt;border-top:solid #000000 0.9907650000000001pt;vertical-align:bottom;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">Employee </td><td style="border-left:solid #000000 0.9907650000000001pt;border-right:solid #000000 0.9907650000000001pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 0.9907650000000001pt;border-top:solid #000000 0.9907650000000001pt;vertical-align:bottom;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">Total </td></tr><tr><td style="border-left:solid #000000 0.9907650000000001pt;border-right:solid #000000 0.9907650000000001pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 0.9907650000000001pt;border-top:solid #000000 0.9907650000000001pt;vertical-align:bottom;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">Offer size </td><td style="border-left:solid #000000 0.9907650000000001pt;border-right:solid #000000 0.9907650000000001pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 0.9907650000000001pt;border-top:solid #000000 0.9907650000000001pt;vertical-align:bottom;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">65.14x </td><td style="border-left:solid #000000 0.9907650000000001pt;border-right:solid #000000 0.9907650000000001pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 0.9907650000000001pt;border-top:solid #000000 0.9907650000000001pt;vertical-align:bottom;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">73.25x </td><td style="border-left:solid #000000 0.9907650000000001pt;border-right:solid #000000 0.9907650000000001pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 0.9907650000000001pt;border-top:solid #000000 0.9907650000000001pt;vertical-align:bottom;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">16.78x </td><td style="border-left:solid #000000 0.9907650000000001pt;border-right:solid #000000 0.9907650000000001pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 0.9907650000000001pt;border-top:solid #000000 0.9907650000000001pt;vertical-align:bottom;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">3.35x </td><td style="border-left:solid #000000 0.9907650000000001pt;border-right:solid #000000 0.9907650000000001pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 0.9907650000000001pt;border-top:solid #000000 0.9907650000000001pt;vertical-align:bottom;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">42.39x </td></tr></tbody></table> However, after this stellar response that RailTel IPO has garnered, one thing is certain — not all investors will get the same amount of shares that they had subscribed for.

<ul><li>The global investment bank is essentially advising investors to put more money in India compared to other markets.</li><li>The money will move from the funds withdrawn from China and Thailand, which <keyword id="48085" type="CITY" weightage="20" keywordseo="Credit-Suisse">Credit Suisse</keyword> has downgraded.</li><li>Credit Suisse expects faster credit growth and lower interest rates in times to come. </li></ul>International investment bank Credit Suisse just upgraded its rating on the Indian market to “overweight”. It essentially means that it advises investors to put more money in India compared to other markets. The money will move from the funds withdrawn from China and Thailand, which Credit Suisse has downgraded to “Market Weight”. This could lead to further bolstering the bull run in the Indian stock market where the Sensex and Nifty have gained nearly 10% since the beginning of 2021. <div type="image" title="sensex" msid="80980519" hostid="261" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Credit Suisse is essentially advising investors to put more money in India compared to other markets.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> There are many reasons for this upgrade. “The upgrades reflect our expectation that economic and earnings recoveries are just starting their most rapid phases for the two markets,” the report said, adding that “the pandemic is no longer a major factor.” The rationale cited above would hold good for both India and Australia. "India looks much better positioned cyclically and relative to the pandemic. India suffered a severe outbreak but has seen a dramatic drop in infections, likely due at least in part to achievement of herd immunity in some locations," it added. A couple of other projections that may be significant, include: <ul><li>The credit cycle is at an earlier stage than, perhaps, all other APAC markets.</li><li>The scope for rate cuts is greater than in perhaps every other market save Indonesia.</li></ul>Faster growth in credit is good for both banks and non-banking financial companies, where the stocks have already run up significantly. <keyword id="151330" type="COMPANY" weightage="20" keywordseo="Bank-Nifty">Bank Nifty</keyword> is up 21.5% since the budget proposals were announced. More loans invested in productive businesses also lead to a virtuous cycle of economic growth. In India, credit growth had slowed down sharply even before the pandemic had hit. <div type="image" title="Credit to industry" msid="80980736" hostid="261" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Credit cycle is at an earlier stage than perhaps all other APAC markets, says a global investment bank while upgrading the rating on India.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> While the <keyword id="6354335" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="20" keywordseo="reserve-bank-of-india">Reserve Bank of India</keyword> has interest rates intact in recent monetary policy reviews, Governor Shaktikanta Das has reiterated that the central bank will keep its stance “accommodative”.

If the <keyword id="30067" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="20" keywordseo="RBI">RBI</keyword> does cut rates, as projected by Credit Suisse, then it will result in cheaper cost of funds for the lenders and lower interest rates for businesses and consumers.

Next in the line is the bootstrapped online travel aggregator, EaseMyTrip, making its way to the public markets. The ₹510 crore IPO of EaseMyTrip is now open for public subscription. The company is an exception among a large pool of internet companies, which have tried to get listed — EaseMyTrip has bootstrapped its way to the public markets. The online travel agency (OTA) offers a range of products and services for end-to-end travel solutions, from airline tickets to rail tickets and bus tickets to taxis, holiday packages, hotels, and much more. The best thing about the travel aggregator is the cost-conscious model that sets it aside from other travel aggregators in India. “Being bootstrapped, the management of the company has tended to be extremely cost conscious and this has enabled them to be profitable since inception. Their primary driver of business is that they do not charge a convenience fee and this is what sets them apart from their peers like Make My Trip, Yatra and ClearTrip,” said Ventura in an IPO note. And that’s why nearly every analyst on the street has a ‘subscribe’ rating on the IPO.

hot! Lean, cost-efficient operations set it aside from peers According to an ICICI Direct report, EaseMyTrip, owned by Easy Trip Planners Ltd (ETP), had the lowest number of employees among India's key online travel agencies as of March 31, 2020. The company has developed a streamlined, efficient and lean organisation structure relative to the size of its business operations. The advanced technology infrastructure and operating systems focused on optimal human resource allocation, minimising operational and systematic errors and enhancing customer satisfaction have resulted in reducing administration costs while increasing employee productivity and operating efficiencies. <table style="border-width: initial; border-style: none;"></colgroup><tbody><tr><td

Ventura “We believe this has enabled ETP to maintain healthy profitability in the past few years,” the report added. Highest growth rate in terms of gross booking revenue and operating revenues among the Key Indian OTA’s According to Choice Broking, Easy Trip has been profitable since its inception and is the only profitable company among the key OTAs with a positive return on equity (RoE) and return on capital employed (RoCE). The company’s profit had grown from ₹3 lakh in 2018 to ₹32.9 crores in 2020. <div type="image" title="EaseMyTrip" msid="81387653" hostid="261"></div> As per the red herring prospectus, in terms of annual growth in operating revenues during FY 2018 to FY2020, Easy Trip recorded the fastest growth at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of approximately 19%, among key online travel agencies in India like MakeMyTrip Limited and Yatra Online. The sector is poised to grow According to Ventura, the company has increased its market share from 3.1% in FY18 to 4.6% in FY20 and has been ranked second among key OTAs in India based on booking volumes. The online penetration, defined as a share of bookings done online through websites of the service providers or through online travel agencies (OTAs), of the Indian travel industry accounted for 56-58% in FY20. The analysts further expect the share of online penetration to 67-68% in FY23, supported by growth in online transactions due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Justified valuations The ICICI Direct report highlighted that taking cognisance of the huge growth opportunities for EaseMyTrip and a lean cost of operations that would aid the flow of profitability to the bottom line — “it is an attractive issue.” According to Choice Broking, the company is available at a P/E of 65.3x on FY20 numbers — “which is reasonably priced”. The price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio shows the price that the market is willing to pay for a stock based on its earnings. Higher the P/E, the more expensive the stock.
