  • Sarbottam Cement Launches IPO for Qualified Institutional Investors with Revised Pricing Strategy

    Sarbottam Cement Launches IPO for Qualified Institutional Investors with Revised Pricing Strategy


    Sarbottam Cement Limited has initiated its Initial Public Offering (IPO) through the book-building process exclusively for Qualified Institutional Investors (QIIs), starting on the 6th of Mangsir. In this initial phase, the company aims to issue 24,00,000 unit shares to QIIs, with the IPO closing on the 10th of Mangsir, 2080. The company has specified this timeframe for QIIs to participate in the bidding process.

    The company’s total issued capital is Rs. 4.65 Arba, of which 12.9033% (60,00,000 unit shares) will be offered to the public, comprising Qualified Institutional Investors (QIIs) and the general public. Out of this, 40% (24,00,000 shares) will be allocated to Qualified Institutional Investors from the start of the IPO. The preliminary bid submitted by QIIs on 24th Asad suggested a price range of Rs. 501 to Rs. 751.50 per share. However, after a price revision, QIIs can now apply for the IPO with a maximum bid of Rs. 601.50 and a minimum of Rs. 401.

    Upon the issuance of IPO shares, they will be traded at the determined cut-off price, which may vary from the base price of Rs. 501.25 based on investor demand. Following this, the general public will receive shares at a 10% discounted price from the company, calculated based on the minimum cut-off rate of QIIs. For instance, if the QII cut-off rate is Rs. 401, the issue rate for the general public’s 36 lakh units would be 10% less, i.e., Rs. 360.9 per share.

    Global IME Capital Limited is overseeing the comprehensive issuance process for the cement company. ICRA Nepal has reaffirmed the issuer rating of [ICRANP-IR] BBB+ to Sarbottam Cement Limited, along with a long-term rating of [ICRANP] LBBB+ and a short-term rating of [ICRANP] A2 for Sarbottam’s bank loan limits.

    Established in October 2010 as a private limited company and converted into a public limited company in July 2019, Sarbottam Cement Limited is engaged in clinker and cement production and sales. The majority of its shareholding is held by the Saurabh Group, a prominent business entity in Nepal. The company’s manufacturing facility is located in Ramnagar VDC-05, Nawalparasi district, specializing in the production of OPC and PPC cement under the brand “Sarbottam.”

  • Technical Analysis of mutual fund

    Technical Analysis of mutual fund


    How do you analyze the mutual fund? Many of them are within the price range of 6-7 and that’s way low as most of their NAV falls around 9.5. Ofcourse the investor has no confidence in them cuz their dividend payment isn’t that consistent ( except for few).
