Speaking on the upcoming listing of the company, Yash Gupta, Equity Research Analyst for Angel Broking Ltd said, “Vijay Diagnostic Centre Limited to list on stock exchanges on 14th September 2021, the overall retail portion got subscribed 1.09 times so it was expected that almost all the investors got the allotment. Vijaya Diagnostic IPO is priced at Price to Earnings of 64.3 times and EV/EBITDA of 30 times at the upper price band of the IPO based on FY2021 numbers, which is in line with the listed peer group.”
“We are not expecting any big listing gain from Vijaya Diagnostic Centre Limited IPO as we believe that all the short term positive has been priced in the IPO price i.e Rs 531. If we look at the current Grey Market Premium, as per market news GMP is at Rs 5 i.e 1 per cent at the upper price band of the IPO. We suggest retail investors who got the allotment to sell the stock at a price range of Rs 540- Rs560 and the investors who haven’t received the allotment should not buy the stock at listing,” said Gupta.
