Incorporated in 2017, Fino Payments is a growing fintech company offering a wide portfolio of digital financial products and services in India. The company offers a diverse range of financial products and services via a pan-India distribution network and proprietary technologies. Since 2017, they have grown their operational presence to cover over 90% of districts as of September 31, 2021.
⮚ Fino Bank operates an asset-light business model that is underpinned by their “phygital” delivery model (i.e., a combination of physical and digital) and relies on their merchant network and other participants.
⮚ The company is looking to target a population of India which has low levels of financial literacy and technology use and typically does not have access to even basic banking services.
⮚ In 2020, the Ministry of Electronics & Information Technology ranked Fino payments third among banks in facilitating digital transactions in India. According to CRISIL, the company also has the largest network of micro-ATMs and the third-highest deposit growth rate in FY' 2021.
⮚ Fino Banks has built a pan-India presence with 724,671 merchants (own and API) which are typically located in Tier-2 and Tier-3 towns. They currently have approximately 17,430 active BCs across India. Additionally, they operate 54 branches and 130 Customer Service Points (“CSPs”).
⮚ Their retailers also use their existing client connections in their communities to help us cross-sell additional financial products and services like third-party gold loans, insurance, bill payments, and recharges.
The revenues of the company have seen consistent growth in the last 3 years. The company's revenue for FY 2021 was at Rs 791 crore VS Rs 691 cr in FY 2020 while profit for the year in the FY 2021 was Rs 20.4 cr Vs loss of Rs 32 cr in 2020.
The company has a brief history while the margins of the company might expand. Fino Payment is a fast-growing fintech company and it is one of its kind company to list on the stock exchanges. If we consider last year's profit then the PE ratio turns out to be around 235 however it has carried forward losses which is a major concern. Its unique DTP network and new edge business model may garner investors' interest while we have an "AVOID" rating for this on the back of expensive valuation and regulatory risk.

India is planning a proposal to let foreign investors buy up to 20 percent stakes in the upcoming LIC IPO. The whole information was provided by a person with knowledge of the matter, that would allow them to participate in the nation’s biggest IPO i.e LIC.
The listing of LIC as an IPO is the government’s biggest move towards public offering as the government is expecting to raise 900 billion rupees from its stakes sale.
Also, the government is planning to amend its FDI rules so that the investors will purchase shares without the government’s approval. According to the act of parliament of India, LIC is a special Indian entity, and hence not all have an opportunity to buy its stakes.
Besides, GOI, the RBI, and IRDAI also regulate foreign investment in the Indian insurance sector.
As of now, the FII’s are allowed to hold up to 74% of private insurance companies and 20% up to state-owned banks, however, they have no right to buy shares in LIC.
The amendment in FDI rules would allow foreign pension funds, mutual funds, insurance companies to participate in LIC IPO i.e India’s biggest life insurer.
Before the year ends, the government is all set to complete its listing procedures and hence selected 10 merchant banks out of 16 that had bid to manage LIC IPO.
The government has selected the top 10 global and Indian merchant bankers to manage the mega-IPO of the country’s largest insurer LIC.
According to the department of investment and public asset management, GOI has appointed Goldman Sachs, Nomura Financial Advisory and Securities, Citigroup, JP Morgan Chase, Bank of America Securities, JM Financial, SBI Capital Market, Axis Capital, ICICI Securities and Kotak Mahindra Capital to manage the mega initial public offering of LIC.
Furthermore, the Government of India also selected Kfintech as the registrar, share transfer agent and concept communications as the advertising agency before launching the LIC IPO.
According to DIPAM (Department of Investment and Public Asset Management) secretary Tuhin Kanta Pandey, the government has finalized the book-running led managers and other advisors for LIC IPO.
Also, on July 15, 2021, the disinvestment department received several applications for the appointment of merchant bankers. As a result, 10 out of 16 bankers have been selected. After this, 16 merchant bankers had prepared presentations for managing the listing and disinvestment of LIC.
Looking actively at the whole matter, DIPAM had already appointed a legal advisor for the stake sale and the last date for placing bids for the same was 16 September.
The government also allows foreign investors to buy stakes in LIC IPO. However, as per the LIC Act, there was no provision for foreign investment earlier, the GOI along with SEBI has come with proposed norms regarding FII’s participation as a result of which they are allowed to purchase up to 20 per cent in this IPO.
If you look at the size of the IPO, then it is expected to be far larger than any other IPOs that have launched in the primary market.
The public listing of LIC will give bountiful benefits to the Indian government as its disinvestment target will be Rs 1.75 Lakh Crore in FY 2021-22.
This financial year, Rs 8,368 Crore has been mopped up through minority stake sale in PSU and sale of specified undertaking of the unit trust of India stake in Axis Bank.
After selecting the best merchant bankers for managing the LIC IPO, the fresh move that will be taken by LIC is to draft DRHP next month. As per the finance ministry official, the plan is to bring the IPO within this fiscal, and we have set fixed timelines in regards to the IPO.
The DRHP would be filed in November 2021, i.e next month. Once the Draft Red Herring Prospectus is filed, the merchant bankers will open domestic and global roadshows for investors all over the world.
The government has appointed Cyril Amarchand Mangaldas as a legal advisor for the IPO.
The government’s objective then is to list the insurance behemoth within the current financial year ending in March 2022. The ministry is in the process of getting the embedded value of the LIC and once that is done, the ministerial panel will decide the government stake that will be divested in the IPO.
The listing of LIC is important as through it, the government will get a benefit of Rs 1.75 Lakh Crore.
As per the economic time’s report, three companies including national fertilizers limited, Mishra Dhatu Nigam and Rashtriya Chemicals and Fertilisers Limited are likely to get divested through an offer for sale before LIC IPO launching.
It is estimated that 10% of stake sale of LIC would give a big amount of Rs 1 Crore to 1.5 Crore.
The price band of LIC IPO is estimated at Rs 400-600 shares taking into account total capital and valuation. The paid-up capital is reported is Rs 25000 Crore while the total valuation of the IPO would be between 10-15 Lakh Crore.
The renowned company offers numerous life insurance plans, money back plans, term life insurance plans and more.
LIC covered a market share of 69% in the life insurance space.
LIC also offers other businesses such as LIC Housing Finance, LIC Pension Fund, LIC Mutual Fund, LIC Card Services.
As per the new norms, foreign investors’ participation is allowed in the LIC IPO.
सोने और चांदी की कीमतों में तेज़ी पिछले सप्ताह भी जारो रही। घरेलु वायदा बाजार में सोना पिछले सप्ताह 400 रुपये तेज़ हो कर 47600 रुपये प्रति दस ग्राम के स्तरों पर कारोबार किया। जबकि चांदी के भाव 2300 रुपये तेज़ हुए जिससे कीमते 65500 रुपये प्रति किलो पर पहुंच गई।
विश्व बैंक ने गुरुवार को अपने नवीनतम कमोडिटी मार्केट आउटलुक में कहा कि ऊर्जा संसाधनों की कीमतें 2021 में 80 प्रतिशत से अधिक बढ़ी जिसके कारण कई विकासशील देशों में निकट अवधि के लिए वैश्विक मुद्रास्फीति का जोखिम बढ़ गया है।
बहुपक्षीय विकास बैंक के अनुमान के मुताबिक साल 2022 की दूसरी छमाही में ऊर्जा की कीमतों में गिरावट शुरू हो सकती है क्योंकि आपूर्ति संकट कम हो जायेगा, साथ ही कृषि और औद्योगिक धातुओं की कीमतों में भी गिरावट होगी जिनकी कीमते 2021 में काफी उचे स्तरों पर पहुंच चुकी है।
उच्च खाद्य कीमतें भी खाद्य-मूल्य मुद्रास्फीति को बढ़ा रही है और कई विकासशील देशों में खाद्य सुरक्षा के बारे में सवाल उठने लगे है। जिससे कीमती धातुए जो मुद्रास्फीति से सुरक्षा का बेहतर विकल्प है, की मांग मजबूत है।
दुनिया की प्रमुख केंद्रीय बैंको द्वारा कोवीड -19 का असर कम होने पर एसेट टेपरिंग पर विचार शुरू कर दिया है लेकिन, आपूर्ति में बाधा रहने से औद्योगिक उत्पादन घटने लगा है जिससे डॉलर जो सोने के विपरीत दिशा में चलता है, में पिछले सप्ताह गिरावट रही है और सोने के भाव में तेज़ी है। खुदरा मांग मजबूत रहने से भी कीमती धातुओं के भाव में तेज़ी है।
घरेलु सराफा बाज़ारो में दिवाली के पहले सोने और चांदी की खुदरा मांग बढ़ने की सम्भावना है जिससे इनके भाव में तेज़ी रह सकती है। घरेलु वायदा सोने में 47200 रुपये पर सपोर्ट है और 48000 रुपये पर प्रतिरोध है। चांदी वायदा में 63700 रुपये पर सपोर्ट और 66000 रुपये पर प्रतिरोध है।
