Most analysts have advised subscribing to the Tata Technologies IPO because of the company’s improving financials, strong brand legacy and reasonable valuations.
Brokerage firm Motilal Oswal Financial Services said it likes Tata Technologies and recommended ‘Subscribe’ given its niche presence, strong parentage and strategic partnership with marquee clients.
“This along with Tata Tech’s focus on diversifying its offerings and clients, puts it in a sweet spot to tap huge outsourcing opportunities in ER&D space. The IPO is attractively priced at 29x 1HFY24 P/E (on an annualized basis) which is at a discount to its peers. Tata Group is coming with an IPO after a gap of 19 years, catching investors fancy and hence could see listing gains as well,” said Motilal Oswal Financial Services.

Hence, we assign a “Subscribe” rating on a medium to long-term basis,” said the brokerage firm.
