Of the 22 anchor investors in the Shyam Metalics IPO, Edelweiss Alternative Investment Opportunities Trust, Abakkus Growth Fund, Aditya Birla Sun Life, Kotak Mutual Fund and SBI General Insurance were amongst the top anchor investors.
As per news reports, Shyam Metalics was trading at a grey market premium of Rs 155 per share. It has constantly been rising from Rs 100-110 to Rs 150-160 over the past week.
The company’s performance is highly affected by the cyclical nature of the steel sector. While there have been new policies introduced by the government for improvements in the railways and infrastructure sectors, the next uptick in metal stocks could well be on the backdrop of increase in spending.
But any downturn in the steel demand will affect the company’s revenues and margins. The competition-intensive steel sector can also put higher pressure on the company’s revenues. The industry is highly capital intensive, which will require the company to frequently innovate and capture the market share.
