Should you exit REPL before or after 3:5 bonus issue?

There are two possible scenarios for retail investors to exit pre and post the Reliance Power bonus. One is to sell before the bonus itself or wait for the bonus to hit the markets.
If they sell before the bonus - let’s say if price touches about Rs 450 and the cost of acquisition per share is about Rs 430, they were making a profit of Rs 20 on each share and most of them are allotted about 15 shares. So net
income profit is about about Rs 300.
But if you take a scenario of post bonus issue, one of the unknown is out of the question - which is the bonus issue. Now, one has to have a fair assumption of what the fair price is going to be. Let's assume that the fair price is about Rs 350, pre-bonus issue. Thereby post-bonus issue, the price will come to around Rs 330. Thereby the profit - on a per share basis the profit is going to be Rs 61.
So if assuming somebody has got allotment of 15 shares, the number of shares will go to 24. So 24 multiplied by 61 would give a profit of about Rs 1460. If you assume that the fair price is Rs 300, then the market price is going to be around Rs 283, which is about 14% profit per share - that will come to around Rs 330 or Rs 336.
So people have to fairly assume the fair price and then see whether they want to sell it right now or whether they want to sell it after the post-bonus issue. But the cut-off price for somebody to make a profit on this particular
stock, is Rs 285 on a current market price basis.


Should you exit pre-bonus or post-bonus?
Pre-bonus exit
-If price touches Rs 450,retail investor profit at Rs 20/sh
-For 15 shares, total profit made at Rs 300
Ex-bonus Exit
a) For Rs 350 pre-bonus price, retail investor profit at Rs 61/sh
-For 24 shares, total profit made at Rs 1,464
b) For Rs 300 pre-bonus price, retail investor profit at Rs 14/sh
-For 24 shares, total profit made at Rs 336
c) For Rs 285 pre-bonus fair price should be the cut off to avoid losses

RPOWER - Stay Invested for Long term

Taking into consideration that Reliance Power Limited has laid out an abmitious plan of 28,200 MW power generation capacity, none of which are operational as of now, and also factoring in the long gestation period needed in the execution of such large power projects, there may be some volatility in the stock movement of the company after listing in short to medium-term.

But, all-in-all, the company should be able to meet the planned expectations over a long-term period. Hence we recommend investors to subscribe to the issue with long-term perspective for more enhanced & superior returns.

NTPC and tata power are available at cheaper valuations than Reliance Power but the Ambanis have this knack of pulling off impossible.AA is planning to enter into nuclear power and his team has already started the ground work for this foray.Within 3 months of listing you will hear big news from Reliance power.

We see bright future for reliance power in long term.ADAG group has vision and we must give some time for our investment to grow.Wealth cant be created overnight especially in stocks like Reliance power which has long gestation period
