IPO GMPs: Globe Civil Projects IPO VS Ellenbarrie IPO VS Kalpataru IPO: what is the signal in the grey market?

IPO GMPs: Globe Civil Projects IPO against Ellenbarrie IPO against Kalpataru IPO: what is the signal in the grey market?

Five new issues trade today in the IPO market, one of which is Ellenbarrie industrial gases. Although the rate of subscription is low, it is reported that the sentiment of analysts and interest of investors are positive, although each company has its unique issues especially in valuation and operating issues.

The initial public offering (IPO) market is already making it a spirited week as five new public offerings viz. the Globe Civil Projects IPO, the Ellen barrie industrial gases IPO and the Kalpataru IPO are lined up to make it to the primary market today (Tuesday, June 24) though the pace of subscriptions is slow. This inflow coincides with the steady growth in investor euphoria as evidence of the continued appetite of new equity solutions.

Analysts are of the opinion that there is an overall market sentiment that is positive, owing to the improvement in the macro -economic indicators, favourable liquidity levels and an increase in activity with both institutional and retail investors. Recent IPOs has done well to ensure confidence and create greater interest available in the primary capital market.

The founder of Kejriwal Research and Investment Services Arun Kejriwal suggests, that these three companies (Ellenbarrie Industrial Gases, Globe Civil Projects, and Kalpataru) are not operating within the same sphere and, therefore, cannot be compared.

Talking about each one of them, one by one, Kejriwal told that Globe Civil Projects is too small in the size of its company and turnover, and it is not viable that investors can target it in terms of huge rewards.

Kalpataru, in its turn, has its problems associated with the debt and inventory, which makes it a less good and safe real estate investment now since it takes a long-term outlook and it is not clear at present whether it is going to pay off medium-term investments.

On the case of Ellenbarrie Industrial Gases, the company might look expensive on valuation of 70 times but its relative competition which is on 130 times is expensive as compared to other companies.

An advantageous factor about Ellenbarrie is that it is a small company undertaking massive growth in respect.

Out of the three, the safest bet is Ellenbarrie Industrial Gases.
