Cafe Coffee Anyone ! ? ~ Successful IPO at Rs 328 ~ Awaiting Listing

I’m sure most of us have had a Coffee at one of the Chain Outlets of Cafe Coffee Day (CCD)

It’s parent Company Coffee Day Enterprises Ltd (CDEL) just concluded a successful IPO and fixed the IPO price at the upper band of Rs 328

Most had recommended to avoid the Issue as the Pricing was very High

I  hold a contrary opinion and had recommended the Issue but not as a Stag as there does exist the risk of listing gains not being available

Here are some relevant extracts from the IPO note prepared by us
