About the issue

Central Depository Services (India) Limited (CDSL) is coming with an IPO with an offer for sale of Rs 550 crore, comprising of 3,51,67,208 equity shares with face value of Rs 10 each. Out of these, 7,00,000 shares are reserved for subscription by eligible employees. The lot size consists of minimum of 100 shares. The issue will remain open from June 19 to June 21, 2017 with price band of Rs 145-149 per share. CDSL will be listed only on the National Stock Exchange (NSE).


Purpose of the issue

The issue is an offer for sale and not a fresh issue. Thus, the company will not receive any proceeds from the offer and all the proceeds will go to the existing shareholders who are selling their stakes. CDSL, being a well-established company, is not in immediate need of funds and is expecting to enhance its visibility and brand image in the market and provide liquidity to its existing shareholders.

Industry Outlook

In India, there are only two depositories namely NSDL and CDSL. This Rs 240 crore industry has grown at a CAGR of 12% over the last three financial years. CDSL is promoted by BSE and NSDL is promoted by NSE. Both these depositories hold 90% of the total shares of listed companies in electronic form. Entry of any new peer is very difficult as both these depositories have strong backing of their parent companies, i.e. the two major stock exchanges.

Depositories in India have good future prospects due to rising capital market participation, new value-added service offerings, financial literacy initiatives undertaken by SEBI and growing awareness of investments in capital markets.

Valuation

On a consolidated FY16 EPS of Rs 7.09, with the upper price band of Rs 149, its P/E ratio stands at 21.01x. Its price-to-book (P/BV) value ratio for FY16 stood at 3.1x. Its consolidated return on net worth (RoNW) for FY16 was 17.99%. It has no direct listed peer, so as per overall industry analysis, the valuations seem to be going fair.

Recommendations 

Depository business has limited scope for exceptional expansion. A steady growth rate of 8-10% every year can be expected in this business. CDSL is providing dividends on a regular basis since last few years. So, we can expect the company to continue paying dividend going forward. Retail investors’ participation would also increase post this IPO listing. We see that investors can earn medium range returns and would benefit in the long run. We advise investors to subscribe to the issue.

FUTURES & OPTIONS

What are futures and options (F&O) contracts?
These are derivative instruments traded on the stock exchange. The instrument has no independent value, with the same being ‘derived’ from the value of the underlying asset. The asset could be securities, commodities or currencies. Its value varies with the value of the underlying asset. The contract or the lot size is fixed. For example, a Nifty futures contract has 50 stocks.


What is a futures contract?
This means you agree to buy or sell the underlying security at a 'future' date. If you buy the contract, you promise to pay the price at a specified time. If you sell it, you must transfer it to the buyer at a specified price in the future.

How can the contract be settled?
The contract will expire on a pre-specified expiry date (for example, it is the last Thursday of the month for equity futures contracts). Upon expiry, the contract must be settled by delivering the underlying asset or cash. You can also roll over the contract to the next month. If you do not wish to hold it till expiry, you can close it mid-way.

What is an options contract?
This gives the buyer the right to buy/sell the underlying asset at a predetermined price, within, or at end of a specified period. He is, however, not obligated to do so. The seller of an option is obligated to settle it when the buyer exercises his right.

What are the types of options?
These are two types of options — call and put. Call is the right but not the obligation to purchase the underlying asset at the specified price by paying a premium. The seller of a call option is obligated to sell the underlying asset at the specified strike price. Put is the right but not the obligation to sell the underlying asset at the specified price by paying a premium.
However, the seller is obligated to buy the underlying asset at the specified strike price. Thus, in any options contract, the right to exercise the option is vested with the buyer of the contract. The seller only has the obligation. As the seller bears the obligation, he is paid a price known as the premium.

Should you invest in F&O contracts?
Investing in F&O needs less capital as you are required to pay only a margin money (5-20 per cent of the contract) and take a larger exposure. However, it is meant for high networth individuals.

How are F&O contracts different from each other?
In futures contracts, the buyer and the seller have an unlimited loss or profit potential. The buyer of an option can make unlimited profit and faces limited downside risk. The seller, on the other hand, can make limited profit but faces unlimited downside.

SPREAD ORDER

What is spread order?
A spread order is a trading strategy which involves going long (buying) in one contract whilst shorting (selling) another contract of the same or different underlying. Spread orders are normally executed in the F&O segment and look at capitalizing on the difference between the prices of the executed legs referred to as the "Spread".


NSE provides trading the "Spread contract" which is the difference between 2 months Index contracts trading on NSE. You can either buy or sell a spread based on your view whether the spread difference will widen or narrow. The margins required for a spread contract is relatively lower because any change in market dynamics will affect both legs similarly.
The different types of spread trades are:
a) Calendar Spread: Involves entering into long & short position of the same underlying asset with 2 different expiry periods.
Eg: Assume Nifty Jan Futures is trading at 6150 and Feb Futures is at 6190 [difference between the 2 contracts being 40 points] you could short Nifty Feb Futures and buy Nifty Jan Futures. Any reduction in this difference would be profitable and vice versa.
b) Inter commodity spread: Trading and trying to cash in on the difference between 2 closely derived Commodity contracts. For eg: A 'Crack Spread' which involves purchasing crude oil futures and taking an offsetting position by refined products of crude oil like gasoline, diesel etc.
c) Option spreads: Involves a combination of two or more different option strikes in forming a strategy which involves limited risk.

The Housing and Urban Development Corporation Limited (HUDCO) has more than 46 years’ experience in providing loans for housing and urban infrastructure projects in India. The Miniratna company’s total outstanding loan portfolio was INR361,119.3 million as of September 30, 2016. Out of this, INR112,951.1 million, or 31.28%, were for Housing Finance loans and INR248,168.2 million, or 68.72%, were Urban Infrastructure Finance loans and project-linked bonds.
HUDCO classifies its housing finance loans into social housing, residential real estate and retail finance, which is branded as HUDCO Niwas.  Under social housing, the ultimate beneficiaries of the loans are borrowers belonging to the economically weaker sections (EWS) of the society, which is defined as families with household income of INR300,000 per annum or less, and borrowers belonging to the lower income group (LIG), which is defined as families with household income from INR300,001 per annum to INR600,000 per annum. Under residential real estate, the ultimate beneficiaries of the loans are public and private sector borrowers for housing and commercial real estate projects, including land acquisition. Such housing and commercial real estate projects cater primarily to the middle-income group and high-income group of society.

Under urban infrastructure finance, HUDCO makes loans for projects relating to water supply, roads and transport, power, emerging sectors, which includes SEZs (special economic zones), industrial infrastructure, gas pipelines, oil terminals and telecom sector projects, commercial infrastructure which includes shopping centres, market complexes, malls-cum-multiplexes, hotels and office buildings, social infrastructure and area development, and sewerage, drainage and solid waste management. HUDCO’s borrowers under Urban Infrastructure Finance are primarily State Governments and their agencies. It ceased sanctioning new Urban Infrastructure Finance loans to entities in the private sector in March 2013.

Promoters of HUDCO: The President of India

The President of India as promoter

HUDCO is promoted by the President of India who also owns all shares in the company (2,001,899,300 directly and 700 through its nominees). The President acts through the Ministry of Housing and Urban Poverty Alleviation, Government of India, the Ministry of Rural Development, Government of India and the Ministry of Urban Development, Government of India.

In other words, the government of India has full control of the company. Since the company is totally owned by the President of India, there are no external investors. This is understandable as HUDCO is a PSU. Directly or indirectly through various ministries or departments, the government owns PSUs.

Solid Financial Performance

HUDCO boasts of strong financial performance including consistently increasing revenues and strong profitability. The company’s top-line has increased in each of the last four years and looks on track of doing an encore this year as well. Similarly, its proven business model means profits have remained strong and have followed a growth trajectory in the timeframe.
HUDCO’s sustained performance and profitability earned it the Miniratna status in fiscal 2005. While its earnings have improved, profitability has slipped a bit in the latest six months. Nevertheless, net profit margin at 19.9% is still quite strong for a company of this size.

HUDCO IPO will be a darling of dividend investors

Being a profitable PSU, HUDCO pays regular dividend and this is something retail investors will find attractive. The company is required to pay a minimal annual dividend of 30% of its profit after tax (PAT) or 5% of its net worth, whichever is higher. Although this was not maintained in the latest financial year, the dividend rate of 5% was still quite attractive. Even after the IPO, the government will remain the biggest shareholder which means there is no reason to believe that this dividend policy will change.

Increasing urbanization means outlook bright for HUDCO

Everyone keeping eyes and ears open knows that urban India is witnessing a massive inflow of working population from rural parts of the country, but here are some statistics. India’s urban population increased from 222 million in 1990 to 410 million in 2014 and is expected to reach 814 million by 2050. More importantly, the figure in 1990 made 26% of India’s population but increased to 32% in 2014. Going by the forecasts, half of India is expected to live in cities by 2050. Coming from our low base, this may appear a drastic change but India ranks pretty low in urbanization. According to data from the government of India and World Economic Forum (WEF), China (54%), Indonesia (53%), Mexico (79%), Brazil (85%) and Russia (74%) are much ahead of India in terms of urbanization rates.
