Apart from this, the issue is 100 per cent OFS, which may limit the listing premium for allottees. But, the company is in auto segment and the segment is expected to continue doing well in medium to short term. So, one can expect 8-10 per cent listing gain from the public offer."
"Despite being 100% offer-for-sale by the Rathee family and fully priced-in IPO offer, the entire issue received an overwhelming response from all kinds of investors especially from QIB’s 142 times. We believe the demand was on the back of the company being the largest manufacturer and supplier (preferred partner) of brake-shoe and Advance Braking Systems (ABS) catering to almost all automobile companies in the critical equipment segment acted as a proxy play for the automobile sector," said Prashanth Tapse, Senior VP — Research at Mehta Equities.
Tapse went on to add that even after gathering strong demand from all sets of investors the listing would see a decent 10 per cent.
