IPO Review

[Dilip Davda]
The company is engaged in the business of manufacturing pigments, and trading in chemicals and food colours. It is operating in a highly competitive and fragmented segment. The company posted inconsistency in its top lines for the reported periods, but reported boosted profits for FY24. Based on FY24 earnings, the issue appears fully priced. Well-informed investors may park moderate funds for medium term.
