In news from the IT sector, Accelya Kale Solutions was among the top buzzing stocks today.

Shares of Accelya Kale Solutions India hit a 52-week high of Rs 1,232 as they rallied 13% on the BSE today, bouncing back more than 20% from the day's low of Rs 1,020 on receiving a good response from non-retail investors for the offer for sale (OFS).

According to BSE data, the non-retail portion of Accelya OFS was subscribed fully or 102%, with cumulative bids of 2 m shares received against reserved 1.96 m shares.

Accelya announced an OFS of 2.2 m shares (14.6% of paid-up capital), with a floor price set at Rs 910 per share.

A total of 10% of the share sale has been reserved for retail investors.

The OFS opened for non-retail investors today and will open for retail investors on Friday.

The unsubscribed portion of the sale shares reserved for retail investors shall be available for allocation to the investors in the non-retail category, Accelya said in a notice to shareholders.

The OFS segment earlier allowed only promoter or promoter group entities of listed companies to act as 'sellers' to dilute/offload their holding to achieve a minimum public shareholding of 25%.

As of 31 March 2021, Accelya promoters, Accelya Holding World (74.7%) and Aurora Uk Bidco (14.6%), collectively held an 89.3% stake in the company.

Accelya is a leading global provider of technology platforms, software and services to the travel and transport industry.

Accelya Kale Solutions share price ended the day up by 10.5% on the BSE.

Speaking of the current stock market scenario, note that the BSE Smallcap index touched life-time high recently.

Despite the index being up more than 157% since the March 2020 lows, Richa Agarwal, lead Smallcap Analyst at Equitymaster, believes smallcap stocks are set for a massive up move in 2021 and beyond.

Here's why...

As per Richa, the smallcap to Sensex ratio is a good metric to gauge while coming to some conclusions about relative valuations.

So, what is this indicator suggesting now?

As you can see from the chart below, the ratio currently stands at 0.46 times, as compared to long term average of 0.43 times.

Here's what she wrote about it in a recent edition of Profit Hunter:

  • In the last one year, the smallcaps have done well to cover the gaps with the large peers.

    But it could be premature to call this a peak.

    In the previous two rounds, the average ratio has been 0.57, suggesting more upside from these levels.

Richa believes if you focus on the quality of business, margin of safety in valuations, and an optimum asset allocation, you are likely to create huge wealth for yourself.

In other news from the IT sector, Wipro said its step-down subsidiary, Wipro IT Services, has approved a proposal for issuing US dollar denominated notes of up to US$ 750 m.
