IPO Review

[Dilip Davda]
PFSCL is engaged in the business of speciality chemical compounds. After static performance for FY21 and FY22, it posted bumper bottom lines on static top line. The sudden boost in its bottom lines for the past 15 months raises eyebrows as well as concern over the sustainability going forward. Based on annualized super earnings of FY24, the issue appears fully priced, discounting all near term positives. Well-informed investors may park moderate funds for medium to long term rewards.
