Financial Performance: 

Conclusion: 

The crucial question that arises in everyone’s mind is whether to hold onto the shares or book profits. Given the current market conditions, where broader indices have retraced from their all-time highs, some investors who applied for listing gains may be disappointed. The stock had a flat listing today. Considering the subscription data, it did not attract significant interest from various market participants during the IPO. Hence, it can be considered whether to book profits at the current market price or during today’s final market closing.

On the other hand, looking at the strong financials, investors with a higher risk appetite may opt to hold the shares for the medium to long term, which could prove to be beneficial.
