What should investors do now?
Pravesh Gur, Senior Technical Analyst, Swastika Investmart Ltd said, “Divgi TorqTransfer Systems stock debuted as a flat-positive listing at Rs. 620 (+5%) to its issue price due to the stock market conditions. This issue has received a good response from both institutional and retail investors. It operates in a niche segment with high entry barriers. Divgi TTS has the advantage of an experienced management team. The company has also shown consistent financial performance over the years. However, most of its business depends on a few customers, and geopolitical risk and competition from global players are some concerns. The issue had a P/E of 35x, which was reasonably priced. The current market situation is not good either. Thus, lotteries applying for a listing premium IPO are advised to keep their stop loss at 610 and wait for further upside, while those with a medium to long-term perspective can hold the stock.
