I think Afribank IPO is over-priced. A lot of price manipulation to arrive at the current high floor price. Based on fundamentals, the returns is low compared to other POs out there.

I think Bagco PO is also fairly expensive BUT it will still be a money spinner. This is becuase it is going to be listed for the first time and I expect sentiments to drive up the price. Based on their projections, the PE ratio I believe is around 23 even for full year 2008 and the new shares may not be entitled to dividends or bonus for that year. However, I will recommend a buy because of the sentiments that come with good new listings (Not like Transcorp!)
