Share:

Here is the “Deal Flow (Summary of Bulk & Block Deals)” of the data that is revealed in the markets. This has been collated and curated to make trade-able sense.

A Bulk Deal is a trade, where total quantity bought or sold is more than 0.5% of the number of equity shares of the company. A trade, with a minimum quantity of 5,00,000 shares or minimum value of Rs.5 crore executed through a single transaction on this separate window of the stock exchange will constitute a Block Deal.

Justdial

Justdial is an Indian company providing pan-India search services via the Phone, Web, Mobile and SMS. The service represents a large classifieds service where users can call a common number to request a human operator what products or services they are looking for. The available, listed businesses are then communicated to the users by Email or SMS.

No one here is not familiar with this company. It made news when Amitabh Bachchan decided to endorse the brand. It was also one of first Tech companies to make an IPO debut in India.

In May 2013, Justdial went public on May 20 at a price between Rs. 897-898. Out of 17.5 million shares, 13.5 million shares were offered to the public and 3,936,925 shares have been subscribed to by 15 Anchor Investors at Rs 530 per equity share, for a total of around Rs 208.65 crore.

FlashBack to the IPO

Indian search firm Just Dial Ltd. on (20-May-13) successfully closed its initial public offering, by getting bids for twice as many shares as it was offering to sell.

The deal is notable for two reasons. Firstly, the numbers: The $173 million-share sale is only the third successful IPO on India’s major stock exchanges in 2013.

Secondly, one of the beneficiaries: Bollywood icon Amitabh Bachchan, who has owned 62,794 shares, or 0.1% of Just Dial, since February 2011. His investment would be worth as much as 34 million rupees ($615,249). Meaning, he has made a theoretical profit of 33.5 million rupees ($603,048).

That’s probably peanuts for Mr. Bachchan in sheer amount, but his return would be a neat 54 times his original investment.

Just Dial’s IPO will allow the company’s existing investors like Sequoia Capital, SAIF Partners and Tiger Global to sell a part of their stake, according to the IPO prospectus.

Here is the current stock status along with the results

Justdial reported 16% decline in NP at Rs 27 crore for the October-December quarter of the current fiscal due to a sharp increase in expenses. The company had reported a NP of Rs 32 crore in the same quarter a year ago.

Justdial’s total income from operations grew 10.95% to Rs 171.3 crore in the quarter under review against Rs 154.4 crore a year ago. Its overall expenses stood at Rs 142 crore, up 28.6%, compared with Rs 110.4 crore in the third quarter of the previous fiscal.
