Knack Packaging made a healthy stock market debut, which was better than grey market expectations.
“Knack Packaging is backed by strong fundamentals, including healthy revenue growth, improving profitability, high ROE and ROCE, and robust operating margins. Its reasonable valuation and fully integrated manufacturing capabilities provide a competitive advantage,” said Shivani Nyati, Head of Wealth at Swastika Investmart Ltd.
However, she advises investors to keep an eye on customer concentration risk and the successful execution of its new manufacturing facility, which will be crucial for future growth.
“Our post-listing view remains positive. Investors who have received allotment can continue to hold Knack Packaging shares for further upside, while maintaining a stop-loss at ₹175 to manage downside risk,” said Nyati.
According to her, fresh investors should consider entering on dips after monitoring the company’s upcoming quarterly performance.
