NEW DELHI: The second-largest real estate sector initial public offering (IPO) in India opened on Wednesday. Macrotech Developers aims to raise Rs 2,500 crore via the issue, mostly to pay off part of its debt.
Analysts are mixed on the issue with some counting superior return ratios as positives while others raising questions over its huge debt and negative cash flow. The grey market premium for the issue has also vanished.
“We also expect listing gains will be very limited in this IPO. We also have some investment concerns for the IPO, with the firm having a net debt of Rs 16,700 crore as of December 2020, any downturn in industry may affect the company significantly,” said Yash Gupta, Equity Research Associate, Angel Broking.
