As per prospectus, on equity of Rs. 0.85 crore, its asking price is at a P/E of 10+ and at a P/BV of 1. Thus the issue appears justifiably priced. However, its inconsistent performance for last three fiscals raises concern. 

On merchant banker's front, this is 14th IPO from its stable and past listed mandates have given average returns in 11 out of 13.

Emkay Taps is a long term bet. The EPS stands at Rs. 58.26 translating in to asking price at a P/E of 6. Its asking price is at a P/E of 10+. Thus the issue appears justifiably priced.

Reviewer recommends Subscribing to the issue.
