“Allotted investors should understand the risk of negative net cash flows in the past, and future negative cash flows which could adversely impact its consolidated financial condition post listing,” said Prashanth Tapse of Mehta Equities while commenting on the fresh investment in the stock post listing.
“Despite the company offering its shares at a well discounted price lower than last private placement valuation, IPO investors were not so bullish on the loss making company and may wait for better lower pricing post listing. Considering all the factors, we advise only risk taking investors to continue to hold with a minimum holding period of 2-3 years,” he said.
