Paytm Money will Allow you to reserve IPO allotments in advance

A purchase request to the brokerage is known as a pre-booking. Sridhar added that on the day the offer goes live on the exchange, the brokerage will buy allotments on behalf of all the requests it has received from investors.

“Because we won’t be collecting money during the pre-order, it’s not the same as booking a slot ahead of market hours,” he explained, adding that depending on the size, demand, and premium of the IPO, a request made through the feature may or may not turn into an allocation.

Investors will have to clear a payment request on their Unified Payments Interface (UPI) app within 24 hours of receiving an allocation using the new functionality.

Over the last few months, there has been a boom in interest in IPOs, and we have observed examples where customers have been unable to apply due to difficulties such as tight timelines during market hours and demand-driven processing delays in the markets.

For the forthcoming Zomato IPO on July 14-16, the functionality will first be available on the Paytm Money app.

Company Profile

Paytm is an Indian digital payment system and financial technology company, based in Noida. Paytm is currently available in 11 Indian languages and offers online use-cases like mobile recharges, utility bill payments, travel, movies, and events bookings as well as in-store payments at grocery stores, fruits and vegetable shops, restaurants, parking, tolls, pharmacies and educational institutions with the Paytm QR code.

The IPO valuation of Rs 60,000 crore for Zomato has created a lot of buzz.

People have opposing viewpoints. Despite its losses, some believe that a tech-enabled corporation should be valued differently than a typical company. Some see the IPO as a way for venture capital and private equity investors to unload their risk to retail investors, while others anticipate Indian food tech businesses will match international peers like DoorDash’s valuations to a major extent.

Zomato’s IPO will take place from July 14 to July 16, with a price range of Rs 72-76.

Zomato’s IPO will take place from July 14 to July 16, with a price range of Rs 72-76. The increased offer size is estimated to be around Rs 9,375 crore. Zomato’s IPO valuation, at around Rs 60,000 crore, is roughly equal to the market value of all of the other quick service restaurants (QSRs) listed on Indian stock exchanges. It is also worth as much as the combined market value of all of the country’s listed hospitality chains. This second category includes behemoths such as Indian Hotels, which operates the world-famous Taj hotel brand in India and overseas and also Oberoi Hotels.

In India, there are around 20 listed hospitality companies with a combined market capitalisation of Rs 44,000 crore and a half-dozen listed quick service restaurants with a combined market value of Rs 60,712 crore. After the coronavirus crisis, Jubilant (which operates a Domino’s Pizza India franchisee), Westlife (McDonald’s), and Indian Hotels (which runs the Qmin gourmet food ordering app) all introduced contactless delivery services.

Jubilant Foods, which claims that over 90% of Domino’s deliveries are now related to internet orders, is the most valuable QSR stock at Rs 41,007 crore, while Indian Hotels (Taj) is the most valuable hospitality firm at Rs 17,589 crore. According to Indian Hotels chairman N Chandrasekaran, who spoke at the company’s annual shareholder meeting last month, Qmin, which Taj debuted last July, is expanding its reach to 25 cities from 16 cities.

Despite reservations, the Zomato IPO is expected to go through.

According to market experts, Zomato’s IPO is likely to go through and may even list at a premium to the issue price due to interest from long-term institutional investors, but profitability concerns and the size of the offering are likely to keep subscription numbers in check.

According to brokers, the stock’s grey market premium has reduced to 10-11 per share over its IPO price band of 72-76 per share, down from 15-16 a few days ago.

Arun Kejriwal comments, founder, Kris Research.

The premium has dropped since the offer may not be subscribed as many times as expected, and if the Tatva Chintan Pharma IPO is set for next week, it is probable that market funds would be redirected to that IPO rather than only Zomato. In the funding market, the cost of per share is currently $6 plus the issue price, and in the grey market, it can be sold for $10-$11 per share, which is the grey market premium. People are making $4 per share in the grey market by selling their stock.

According to market sources, Tatva Chintan, which is expected to collect approximately 475 crore in the IPO, could go public this week. In the grey market, Tatva Chintan’s shares are trading at a 600 percent premium.

Its investors include Alibaba of China and Softbank of Japan and Paytm is seeking shareholder approval at the EGM to offer up to 120 billion rupees in new share issue and maintain an alternative to retain up to 1% of an over-subscription.

For the IPO, Paytm has enlisted the help of JPMorgan Chase, Morgan Stanley, ICICI Securities, Goldman Sachs, Axis Capital, Citi, and HDFC Bank.

Admiral Benefits from a Pricing Flaw in Motor Insurance

Admiral tends to aggressively increase its customer numbers in times of pricing flux by undercutting the competition in terms of pricing. We have seen this at least once before, and we believe that much more recently, such as last year, we saw this happen again. As Admiral grows these customer numbers, it increases not only its profit from underwriting but also these ancillary sources.

There are three factors causing flux in U.K. motor insurance prices: emerging from lockdown, regulatory pricing review, and regulatory restructuring of claims. These are all affecting motor insurance prices and giving Admiral Opportunities to undercut the competition and expand its customer base.

We believe consensus completely ignores this dynamic of customer growth at Admiral, and on this

Element we are very different. Our estimates for customer numbers are only three fourths of the numbers that investors witnessed during the last global financial crisis, but we are still well over double the 590-basis-point average annual customer growth as per Visible Alpha consensus.

Company Profile

Admiral is a personal lines insurer that writes most of its business in the United Kingdom. The company operates three business divisions: U.K. insurance, international car insurance, and other. This is a reduction from four since April 2021, when new CEO Milena Mondini de Focatiis announced the sale of Admiral’s price comparison businesses within Penguin Portals. This included www.confused.com, www.rastreator.com, www.lelynx.fr, and the group’s technology division, Admiral Technologies. The sale excluded Admiral’s U.S. price comparison business, www.compare.com. The total net transaction value was GBP 460 million, which Admiral intends to return to shareholders.

The approval comes after one of the company’s largest shareholders, Info Edge India, decided to reduce its offer for sale (OFS) in the IPO to Rs. 375 crore from Rs. 750 crore previously.

Info Edge reduces the size of the OFS in the Zomato IPO by half, to Rs 375 crore.

The cut in size indicates that Info Edge is confidence in the future of the company and wants to keep more of the company it bought for a low price. Many analysts and foreign investors are likewise optimistic about the situation. Zomato’s much-anticipated initial public offering is set to take place later this month. The date, on the other hand, remains unclear.

The stock is trading at Rs 80 a share in the grey market, or the unofficial market for unlisted shares, about 15% more than the projected IPO price of Rs 70. Zomato’s shares were sold at Rs 55-60 in the most recent round of investment.

If traders’ predictions are correct and Zomato offers its shares for Rs 70, Info Edge will profit 60 times its initial stake. According to the DRHP, the business led by Sanjeev Bikhchandani purchased around 18.55 % at an average cost of Rs 1.16 per share.
