The listing premium for Exxaro Tiles could be around 10 percent on Monday, though public issue received overwhelming response from investors, experts feel.

The Rs 161.09-crore initial public offering was subscribed more than 22 times during August 4-6, as the portion set aside for retail investors witnessed 40 times subscription and that of qualified institutional buyers' portion was subscribed 17.6 times. Non-institutional investors bought more than 5 times their reserved portion.

Considering decent response under QIB and retail category, Prashanth Tapse of Mehta Equities believes the listing can be seen around Rs 132, which translates to 10 percent premium over the upper end of the IPO price Rs 120.

"Decent gain can be seen if market sentiments supports the expected valuations. With market share of less than 1 percent IPO valuations were bit stretched when compared to other listed peers," he said.

Exxaro Tiles is engaged in manufacturing & marketing of vitrified tiles. Domestically, the company has pan India presence in 24 states/ union territories based on sales made during FY21, and internationally it supplies products in over 12 countries including Poland, UAE, Italy, Bosnia etc.

"The tile industry in the country is a fragmented one with a few established players and thus not very attractive segment like others. The grey market premium seems justified as the valuations seem stretched a bit as of now with the return on equity aspect which is lower than its peers," said Gaurav Garg of CapitalVia.
