Rashi Peripherals share price outlook

Analysts noted that Rashi Peripherals did well for FY21 and FY22 due to surge in demand of products. For FY23, though it marked higher top line, it posted lower bottom lines due to reduced margins after vanning out of pandemic euphoria. ‘’Its H1-FY24 performance indicates restoration of trends, and the management is confident of maintaining the earning trends,'' said Amit Goel, Co-Founder and Chief Global Strategist at Pace 360

"Investors may park funds for the medium to long term rewards,'' added Goel.

Mahesh M. Ojha, AVP-Research and Business Development, Hensex Securities Pvt Ltd, stated that Rashi Peripherals Ltd. offered investors a decent 9% return on their initial investment. Given its pan-India presence, multi-channel distribution footprint, long-term relationships with prestigious global technology brands, diversified and comprehensive product portfolio, and consistent track record of superior financial performance and return metrics, the company is a leading and fastest-growing Indian distribution partner for ICT products, having all the leading brands/OEMs.

"We suggest investors to book atleast 50% profits on the listing day itself, rest can be kept for long term investment, added Mahesh.

Rashi Peripherals IPO achieved a decent stock market debut, listing for ₹339 per share, a 9% premium above its issue price of ₹311, according to Shivani Nyati, Head of Wealth, Swastika Investmart Ltd. As encouraging as its performance is, it did not meet pre-listing projections of a 20% rise. With 62.95 times subscriptions, the IPO itself had a respectable rate.

"The company's broad product offering and value-added services position it well in the growing ICT market. And the overall ICT sector is expected to experience continued growth, potentially benefiting Rashi Peripherals.

However, there are a few concerns as well: reliance on third-party vendors and channel partners exposes Rashi Peripherals to external risks.

While the listing was positive, the lower-than-expected premium and identified risks necessitate a cautious approach. Investors who want to hold it even after listing are advised to keep the stop loss at the issue price," said Shivani.
