    • Am not sure but this is a decent company, Laurus is also good. Rest depends on how greedy are promoters. Investors need to look beyond IPOs too. The correction has made so many stocks attractive but investors wouldn’t buy them now.

  1. Look at how the company has grown in recent years. Table show sales increased 50% in 5 yrs but profits – more than 100 crore from 7.7 crore. Not reliable at all. No wonder the promoters were planning this IPO for all these years and now need to bring the offer even though the market has tanked.

    I haven’t yet checked the rates in grey market if there are. Any premium???

  2. QIBs subscribing in loads. I know the view is negative for Sheela Foam but QIB funding means there is something retail is missing. Experts any second thoughts???

    • Nothing changes for me. I have no doubt that Sheela Foam will get badly impacted by demonetization. You can see yourself that shopkeepers are sitting idle, then where is demand. Just wait and it will be avaialbel at below IPO price in some time.

      Laurus is a much better option for IPO investors.

  3. Great listing! happy that my risk was rewarded very well. I should have applied for more, this was the time when sentiments were down and everyone was afraid of investing.

  4. Strange market, no point in analyzing IPO as everything is driven by FIIs/DIIs. I missed investing in this but really feel SHeela Foam is now beyond the fundamentals. PE ratio of more than 40! Crazy!!

    • Absolutely right Feroz. There is little we can do more than just try to follow the market and it has its own ways. This is why I don’t understand the attacks some peolple make on others on forums. Ultimately, everyone is responsible for their own investments.

      Btw, you haven’t missed anything big, Sheela Foam is down today 🙂
