SWOT Analysis:

RailTel Financials:


Steady growth in revenue even in Covid times considering the travel industry was majorly affected. The PAT for 2020 didn't grow in line because of exceptional item expenses.
The EPS growth is muted with approximated 2.5% CAGR which may disappoint investors.
Objects of the Issue:
To carry out the disinvestment of up to 87,153,369 Equity Shares by the Selling Shareholder making up of Company’s paid up Equity Share capital our Company
To achieve the benefits of listing the Equity Shares on the Stock Exchanges.
Company will not receive any proceeds from the Offer and all proceeds shall go to the Selling Shareholder.
My view: I would apply for the IPO only for listing gains. Those who are risk averse can wait for the Grey Market Premium data to get updated and subscription details of first two days to get the idea of the participants interest. Considering the growth of EPS and EPS this stock is a complete no no for long-term investors. Do visit this blog and the link after 6pm to get updated details.
