Parsvnath Developers’ stock could come into play with the company raising Rs 75 crore from a private equity fund, Sun Apollo.
The International real estate fund has bought a 50 per cent stake in Parsvnath’s premium residential project ‘Parsvnath Exotica Part II’, which is to be developed in Gurgaon. Recently, the company completed a QIP that mopped up Rs 168 crore and raised Rs 115 crore from Red Capital.
In the last six months, Parsvnath has raised Rs 350 crore through private placement and stake sales, which should help reduce its debt of about Rs 1,600 crore and provide some cash for growth. At Rs 121.45, the stock trades at 26.8 times its trailing 12-month EPS.
