IPO Listing Date: Apr 7, 2021
Outlook :
The Barbeque Nation IPO is coming at a time when the COVID-19 pandemic has made many restaurants unviable. Food orders can meaningfully increase and the share of trusted brands is bound to go up vs random mom-pop restaurants that may not be able to assure hygiene.
The restaurant chain has seen compounded annual growth of 14.29%. It has grown from ₹68.60 Crore in FY17 to 89.60 Crore in FY19.
The company is backed by private equity investor CX Partners and ace investor Rakesh Jhunjhunwala’s investment firm Alchemy Capital. Alchemy Capital bought about a 3.5% stake in Barbeque-Nation Hospitality for ₹90 Crore last year.
It also acquired a 61.35% stake in Red Apple Kitchen, which owns Toscano, a casual dining Italian restaurant chain that has ten outlets operating across Bengaluru and Chennai.
Earlier in December last year, Jubilant Foodworks, which operates fast-food chains Domino's Pizza and Dunkin' Donuts in India, had acquired a 10.76 percent equity stake into Barbeque-Nation Hospitality Ltd (BNHL) Rs 92 crore.
Barbeque Nation also launched UBQ through its existing kitchen infrastructure, in November 2018 to provide a la carte Indian cuisine in the value segment, which is also being availed by delivery across 71 cities in India.
The restaurant & hospitality sector, despite being amongst the worst hit due to COVID 19 has tremendous potential in a growing economy like India.
With the rise of nuclear families, changing habits, and increasing urban population with higher disposable income coupled with strong growth of food-related e-commerce platforms, a strong branded player like Barbeque Nation stands to gain in the future. IPO could attract a lot of interest among both retail & institutional investors leading to a strong listing.

Outlook :
Suryoday SFB is among the leading SFBs in India in terms of net interest margins, return on assets, yields, and deposit growth and had the lowest cost-to-income ratio among SFBs in India in Fiscal 2020. Total assets show consistent growth.
Over the years, it has recorded a CAGR of 47.98%. This can be because of the fact that the gross loan portfolio of Suryoday has shown a CAGR of 46.98% over the past two years, from FY 2018 to FY 2020. The deposits, too, have shown a CAGR of 94.95%. From Rs. 749.52 crores in FY 2018, it has grown to Rs. 2,848.71 crores in FY 2020.
In fact, as of FY 2020, 54.44% of the total deposits came from the retail category. The net profit earned shows an overall increase, but in FY 2017 and FY 2018, the figures show a dip. The CAGR, in this case, is 47.05%. Over the past six years, the company has recorded a positive net cash flow from operating activities in only two years.
The rest of the year is characterized by the increasing negative value of net operating cash flow. This market is dominated by the top three small finance banks – AU, Equitas, and Ujjivan. Together, these three banks accounted for about 63% of the total assets under management in 2020.
Overall, there is significant growth expected in the near future. The deposit base of small finance banks increased by about 48% in FY 2020. A CAGR of 22% is predicted in the loan portfolio in this market. This growth is based on the fact that the Indian economy is focusing on the growth of the banking sector and financial inclusion. There is a significant market opportunity in the rural parts of the country.
Suryoday SFB is showing decent growth in both revenue and profit front whereas there is an improvement on the margin front as well. Over the period FY18-20, Gross Loan Portfolio, and Deposits have grown at a CAGR of 46.98% and 94.95% respectively.
If we talk about valuation then at the upper band the PE ratio works out to be around 23 while the PB ratio is around 2.3 which is in line with peers. This business has good growth potential amid a strong Indian economic growth outlook but it has its own systematic risks. Though valuation is not very lucrative by looking at strong growth in financials.

The digital gaming market worldwide has seen a paradigm shift in adoption and distribution as well as user behavior. The global games market generated revenue of $104.8 billion in 2016, up by 12.6% from 2015. Revenues will have potentially increased to $116.0 billion in 2017 and will continue to increase to $151.7 billion in 2021. Growth is expected to be driven from South-East Asia, the Middle East and India.
Eyeing the growth of the online gaming industry, the interaction with Smartphones and laptops of the youth and cheaper data prices, it is expected that the gaming industry is expected to reach new highs. Digital adverting is also expected to increase, which will help the tech gaming companies to do much better.
Gaming as a whole is a very big industry worldwide where Nazara Technologies is a leading India-based diversified gaming and sports media platform which has a strong brand name too.
Over the period of FY18-20, the revenues of the company have grown at a CAGR of 12.90% while net profit was on declining mode this was due to the new acquisitions made by the company. In FY19-20, Nazara Tech revenue has grown by 45% and it touched the revenue of 247 Crore. The margins of the company are expected to zoom from the current levels.
Nazara Technologies may even trade at a higher multiple as it is a pure-play in the digital world and which has the potential of more than 30% CAGR growth. Its expansion into freemium and e-sports business will surely help the company to do better in the near future.

Tentative Time Table:
Incorporated in 1989, Laxmi Organic Industries Ltd is a specialty chemical manufacturer that operates in 2 business segments; Acetyl Intermediates (AI) and Specialty Intermediates (SI)
According to the Frost & Sullivan Report, given its expertise in the Acetyl Intermediates and the Specialty Intermediates segments, its entry into the fluorochemicals space will put it in a differentiated position from other chemical manufacturers.
Laxmi Organic has been the largest exporter of ethyl acetate from India in the six months ended September 30, 2020, and Fiscals 2020, 2019, and 2018 and one of the largest exporters of ethyl acetate to Europe from India since 2012.
For the six months ended September 30, 2020, and the Fiscals 2020, 2019, and 2018, its Company’s revenue from exports of manufactured products contributed 23.17%, 24.24%, 27.80%, and 22.18%, respectively, of its revenue from operations on a standalone basis.
The company has had stable revenue growth over the last three years though the company has not grown significantly over the same period, while we can see a decline in net profits too. The margins of the company have been stable varying between 4%-6%.
At the upper price band of Rs. 130 and EPS of Rs. 2.86, the PE works out to be 37.68 which is higher than the industry average of 21.70. However, their entry into a high margin business of specialty fluorochemicals though the IPO justifies the higher PE.
Eyeing the growth of the intermediaries industry and its growth globally we may expect the company to do well in the upcoming years. Laxmi Organic was the largest exporter of ethyl acetate from India in the six months ending September 2020. We may expect the company to do much better with the new acquisition.

Kalyan Jeweller is one of India’s largest jewellery companies with a pan-India presence. The hyperlocal strategy enables the company to cater to a wide range of geographies and customer segments.
In Fiscal 2020, 78.19% of its revenue was from India and 21.81% was from the Middle East. Over the same period, 74.77% of its revenue from operations was from the sale of gold jewellery, 23.36% was from the sale of studded jewellery (which includes diamonds and precious stones), and 1.87% was from the sale of other jewellery.
In fact, in Fiscal 2019, the revenue earned fell by over 9%. This was attributed due to an experimental strategy that the company adopted in that year. The questionable strategy was withdrawn after that year, and the revenue again increased by 3.58%. As the revenue from operations declined in FY 2019, this is also reflected by the net profit earned by the profit.
Another factor that can contribute to the dismal performance in FY 2019 is the severe floods that hit the southern part of India during this time. Owing to this, the demand for gold jewellery was affected.
The total assets owned by the company has shown a CAGR of 5.02% between 2017 and 2020. One positive fact to note here is that the long-term debt of Kalyan Jewellers has shown a consistent decline over the years.
As for India, expenditure on jewellery is one of the top constituents of retail consumption. In 2020, the amount spent on jewellery amounted to Rs. 449 thousand crores. This is expected to grow to Rs. 633 thousand crores by 2025 which will surely benefit the company in the long run.
