Bharat Highways InvIT IPO review
Dilip Davda
“The company is having seven highway projects under is current seven SPVs and it doing operations primarily on HAM projects. Since no track records of such InvITs are available and the treaty is not fully understood by the markets, well-informed/cash surplus investors may apply for the medium to long term rewards,” said Dilip Davda, the contributing editor at Chittorgarh.
BP Wealth
The brokerage believes that GR Highways Investment Manager Private Limited and its current and potential subsidiaries' access to future road assets will be a key factor in the InvIT's future growth. Since the lender plans to use the net proceeds of the new equity offering to prepay or repay loans made to the Project SPVs, the leverage position of the InvIT will be improved.
Financially speaking, the company had financial debts of Rs. 3,568.2 crores as of February 01, 2024, and the firm had a net profit of Rs. 101.4 crores on total income of Rs. 388.5 crores in H1FY24.
“As the lender will utilise net proceeds of the fresh equity issue to repay/prepay loans to the Project SPVs that will enhance the InvIT's leverage position. At the current P/BV multiple of 0.8x based on book value as of September 2023, we believe the company is reasonably valued and advise investors to “Subscribe” to the issue from a medium to long-term perspective,” the brokerage said.
Master Capital Services Limited
From what the brokerage has been able to gather, the trust plans to optimise distributions to unitholders while optimising capital structure to ensure that it has the financial flexibility to undertake future purchases. The Amended and Restated Trust Deed's terms will be followed by the trust as it seeks to acquire other road projects that fulfil the investment aim, thus growing its initial portfolio.
“Additionally, it intends to take advantage of certain acquisition opportunities that may be available by sourcing and acquiring assets from such third parties on a caseby-case basis in accordance with the SEBI InvIT Regulations. Investors looking to invest, can invest in this IPO with a medium to long term perspective,” the brokerage said.
