Should you subscribe ti Jindal cotex IPO?
One of the reknowned investment advisor said that one should remain away from the issue. "One must admire the courage of the promoters to come out with an IPO in the band of Rs 70 to Rs 75, against the book value per share of Rs 23.10, as on 30-06-09 and at a PE multiple of 21.68 times, at the upper end of the price band. There are over 10 similar companies available at PBV of 0.50 times and at a PE of close to 5 times", he said.
Such companies come out with IPO mainly to play in the stock market, as it is obvious that no sane investor would be willing to subscribe to it, when so many lucrative ideas are available in the secondary market. A clear advice to the public – remain away from the issue and don’t be part of this weak and unviable project.
