To invest in IPO or not?
Angel Broking has come out with a research report on Godrej Properties (GPL) IPO (initial public offering). The research firm believes that the IPO is fairly priced and keep a neutral view on it.

Fair NAV for GPL (based on its existing land bank) works out to Rs 469/share. Around 50% of the NAV is derived from its township project in Ahmedabad. We have factored in a 5% price escalation from FY2011E onwards in the construction and capital value for all its residential projects from the current levels, and a 5% correction in Rentals in FY2011E, but a 5% increase from FY2012E onwards for all its commercial and retail projects. We believe that the IPO is fairly priced and keep a neutral view on it. However, investors can look at alternate, existing listed players like Anant Raj, which have a debt-free balance sheet, land at prime locations and is trading at a significant discount to one-year forward NAV", says Angel Stock Broking Trader.
