IPO Review

[Dilip Davda]
The company is in the pharma business with manufacturing and trading activities. It posted growth in its top lines for the reported periods, but sudden boost in its bottom lines from FY23 onwards raise eyebrows and concern over its sustainability. Based on FY24 annualized super earnings, the issue appears fully priced. Well-informed investors may park moderate funds for the medium term rewards.
