What to do with db Corp on listing?

DB corp fixed it price at 212 Rs. It is highly unlikely that stock will list lower than 250. But if it get listed anywhere near 220. I would buy the stock for medium term. It has solid presence in hindi market and good profit margin. Long term management with proven record. 

Depending on where does it get listed you want to compare it's p/e with that of Jagran or HT media and see if it make sense.

Television 18 and other media stocks

Media is one of my favorite sector when comes to stock and television 18 best stock. The things have been very volatile lately in Indian media space. Companies are having difficult time to manage through it and make profits. Number one reason being high competition and more number of players in market. It takes a lot to get audience.

Number 1 source of revenue for media is advertising. After a slump ad spending is increasing and that definitely beneficial but is it sufficient enough to justify a p/e of 60 for some stocks.

1. TV 18

UTV Software communicaton , good company but high value

I like the UTV software with focus strategy around media and stress on gaming content development. Management knows what they want to achieve. But looks like I am not the only one who likes this stock. That probably explains why this stock is trading for more than 50 p/e. Moreover balance sheet is full of debt around 450 Cr.  The recent trend in Indian companies is to dilute equity to get rid of debt. Looks like UTV might take same route.

Does multiplexes have room to grow, analysing pvr,inox and adlabs .

Indian entertainment industry came a long way in past decade , from being highly unorganized money spinning machine to a some what organized professional corporate culture. I still remember movies being distributed on those films and a guy shuffling movie reels among different theatre so that they can play same movie with 1 copy on different screens. If the guy doesn't show up on time the movie takes a break.
