Long-Short Analysis on Japan, Asia and the World

LightStream Research

LightStream conducts quantitatively rigorous and data-driven analysis with a focus on Japan and Asia.

We consistently cover the Tech, Consumer and Industrial sectors, and provide ECM and Events coverage more broadly.

We supplement traditional qualitative insights from company relationships with a robust quantitative foundation that examines as much historical data as is available.
We further refine the accuracy of our insights and calls through the use of alternative data to flesh out current trends, and through a valuation framework that emphasises non-superficial peer group selection and a proper attempt to understand the metrics and changes that have driven security valuations in the past.

The company caters to the needs of nearly 80 OEMs in India and globally. The company received approval for its IPO and the details of the same are shown below:<ul class=""><li>Issue: Sandhar Technologies Ltd</li><li>Total Offer Size: 15,436,145; INR 5.05 - 5.12b</li><li>Price Band: INR 327 - 332</li><li>The 15,436,145, includes an offer for sale of 6.4m equity shares from GTI Capital, one of the two PE investors in the firm</li><li>Issue open/close: 19th March/21st March 2018</li><li>Post-issue, promoter's share will fall to 70% from 80.1% as a result of dilution</li><li>ICICI Securities and Axis Capital have been assigned to manage the offering</li><li>Majority of the proceeds will be used for repayment of loans will the rest will be used for general corporate purposes.</li></ul>On the valuation side, we expect strong topline growth and flat finance expense to drive down FY2018E PE to 23x which is lower than the peer average and median. Based on this we think there is likely to be significant upside post-issue.
