The India Street previously analyzed the following IPO’s:



These stocks have been listed and we had discussed in my previous article, “How do IPO’s fare in Secondary Market?” about how IPO stocks are received by the market particpants. Some stocks perform exceptionally well and some others get discarded by the crowd.


In this article, let us discuss the short term perspective of the five stocks mentioned above using daily charts.


Summary:


Scrip

IPO Price

Price 05-Oct

% return

DLF

HDIL

OMAXE

2.39

PURVA

400

460.45

15.11


We indicated that IVR Prime might be avoided in the short term. It may be noted that Puravankara had extended the IPO subscription period by five days and also reduced the price band from 500 – 525 to 400 – 450 per share. This happened at a time when the “US Sub-prime mortgage crisis” was being cited as the reason for stock market collapse.


The following table gives the BSE Group/Scrip codes for the stocks.

DLF:



The stock got listed on July 5. On August 13, it touched a low of 490, 35 less than its IPO price (See chart below).

The long lower shadow when it broke the support indicates that there was lot of buying support at lower levels. Technically, it broke its short term resistance on September 19 with an upward gap. On October 3, it managed to touch a high of 904, gaining 16.38%. If we consider 100% retracement from the low of 490, the target for this upmove works out to 980.


On October 3, the BSE had made an announcement that “the Company has been awarded the project to develop a ‘New Bangalore City’ in Bidadi following a global tender issued by Bangalore Metropolitan Regional Development Authority (BMRDA). The project shall generate value in excess of Rs. 50,000 crore (USD 12.5 billion), which is the single largest investment in real estate in India.”


It may be noted that the ‘news’ arrived in the marketplace nearly two weeks after it had broken its resistance. This is a good example of how the stock market works.


HDIL:



This stock too, had gone below its IPO price of Rs.500 on August 6 after getting listed on July 24. Interesting to note that it touched a high of 634.30 on July 26.

The stock recorded a low of 477.50 on August 22. At the time of the so called US Sub-prime mortgage crisis, this stock closed below its IPO price on 4 occasions – only to bounce back. Similar to DLF, the stock had broken its resistance on September 19 with an upward gap.

A bullish “harami” candlestick pattern was formed on September 26. On October 4, the stock had closed at 707.15, gaining 6.42%. There seems to be some more upside left, as the technical target from the low of 477.50 works out to be 773.


IVR Prime:


We gave the following reasons for avoiding the IPO in the short term.


  • Issue was slightly overpriced compared to others.

  • Except the Gachibowli project in Hyderabad, IVR Prime has not executed any other project; others are in planning stage.

  • The company owns only 14% of its projected 2,478 acres land bank.

On the day of listing i.e. August 16 the stock made a high of 495, 55 less than the IPO price. This is the critical resistance for the stock. On August 23 the stock made a low of 343. Though the stock closed above 425 on September 24, it registered a lower low of 358 on September 27. This violates the Elliot wave theory. Though 343 still remains intact, formation of a lower low during an uptrend indicates that a reversal is likely to follow.


Unless this stock closes above 495 with reasonably good volumes, one should not expect any upside from the stock. The market has endorsed The India Street’s view on the IPO.

Omaxe:



The stock opened at 410 on August 9 with a premium of Rs.100. It touched a high of 448 before closing at 349.35. However, it opened with a huge downward gap of 13.90 on August 16. On August 22 it touched a low of 263.15.



http://groups.google.com/group/theindiastreet/web/OMAXE_D_051007.jpg


It can be seen from the above chart that wave 1 is complete and wave 2 is in progress. The stock faced resistance around 355.70 (50% retracement level) and it closed above it for 2 days in a row. With the current trend it has support at 304.10 which is 61.8% retracement level. The stock needs to break its resistance at 369.95 on a close basis in order to move upwards.

Puravankara Projects:


The stock opened with a negative premium of Rs.90 (IPO price: Rs.400) on August 30. It has been the lowest till today. After 13 trading sessions, it broke its previous high of 390 (made on day of listing) on September 18. On October 5 it closed above 452.50, a high made on September 24. The short term target works out to 501.60 when calculated from a low of 310.

BSE India launches New Real Estate Index



The Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE), founded in 1875 with 318 members, is the barometer of the Indian stock market. Located at Dalal Street in the central business district of Mumbai, the stock exchange accounts for a market capitalization of nearly USD 1 trillion.


In 1986 BSE introduced SENSEX (SENSitive indEX) comprising of 30 well established Indian companies with the base year 1978 – 79. It is one of the indices the financial world tracks regularly. Since September 2003, “free float market capitalization” methodology is followed. In full market capitalization methodology, the total market capitalization of a company, (including those held by promotors, government agencies etc.), is taken into consideration for computation of an index. But in free float methodology, market capitalization is computed as the proportion of total shares issued by the company, which are readily available for trading in the market. It normally excludes promoters' holding, central/state governments’ holding, strategic holding and other locked in shares, which cannot be traded in the market.


BSE has introduced several indices so far. These include:


BSE 100

BSE 200

BSE Dollex 200

BSE 500

BSE PSU

BSE Midcap

BSE Small cap

BSE Bankex

BSE Teck

BSE Auto

BSE Healthcare

BSE Fast Moving Consumer Goods

BSE Consumer Durables

BSE Metal


BSE 100 comprises of 100 major stocks listed at five major stock exchanges in India at Mumbai, Kolkata , Delhi , Ahmedabad and Chennai. The mid cap and small cap indices represent relatively smaller companies. The teck index includes IT, media and telecom stocks.

Real estate prices, both residential and commercial, have soared up in the last few years in India due to huge demand. Very strong growth has been witnessed in this sector. Many domestic and international investors have been attracted by the Indian real estate industry. More growth is anticipated in the sector since the real estate market capitalization in India is 4.2% where as global norm is 15%.


Several real estate companies have come up with IPOs. The Indiastreet analyzed DLF, HDIL IPOs and Indiabulls Real Estate stock in various articles.


On July 9, 2007 BSE had introduced yet another index – The BSE Realty Index comprising of real estate stocks.


The base year for the index is 2005 and base index value is 1000. Like the Sensex, this index is also computed using free float methodology. 11 scrips are included in the Realty Index, representing about 95% market capitalisation of real estate development companies in BSE - 500 index. On July 9, the index value was reported to be 7333.97.


The following table shows the list of 11 companies, their free float market capitalization and weightage in the Realty Index.

ANSALINFRA, GESCOCORP, PENINLAND and UNITECH have performed very well in the bull market. GESCOCORP touched a high of 1300 in May 2006 but has fallen considerably since then.


Today’s intraday chart of Realty Index is plotted below, with Sensex by its side as a comparison.



Source: BSE web site www.bseindia.com


http://groups.google.com/group/theindiastreet/web/REALTY.JPG

Today, the sensex has lost 99 points or 0.66% whereas the realty index has gained 249 points or 3.38%. BSE Metal index was the next highest gainer with 162 points or 1.48%. The BSE IT index lost 168 points or 3.34%.


However, considering BSE Sensex with base year 1978 – 79 and base value of 100, it has appreciated nearly 150 times in 28 years. Realty index though, has appreciated nearly 7.6 times in just about 2.5 years. DLF has nearly 36% weightage, Unitech has 31.5%, Indiabulls Real Estate has about 14%. Unitech has appreciated considerably (more than 11 times) in the last 2.5 years. DLF and Indiabulls Real Estate are relatively new issues.


Conclusion:


Sectoral indices (like healthcare, auto, metal, IT, realty etc.) are useful in analyzing how a particular industry or sector has performed over a period of time. Since the constituent stocks are chosen from the same industry, it presents a clearer picture about the sector than the overall index. Real estate industry is being projectd for further growth. We can anticipate that the realty index too performs well in future.
