IPO Review

[Dilip Davda]
The company operates in a competitive segment with rising players. The sudden boost in its net profits for FY23 raises eyebrows and concerns over sustainability going forward. Based on the super earnings of FY23, the issue appears aggressively priced. Surprised extension of the IPO, two Market Makers and a new merchant banker are the pin-pointers. Well-informed/cash surplus investors may park funds with a long-term perspective.
