Most experts suggest booking profits in MTAR Technologies as the valuations look expensive.
Share of Hyderabad-based MTAR Technologies opened for trading at Rs 1,050 on the National Stock Exchange, compared to the issue price of Rs 575, marking a premium of 82.61%. On the BSE, MTAR Technologies opened at Rs 1,063.90, at a premium of 85.03%.
MTAR share price soared after listing and made a high of Rs 1,154 on the BSE. In afternoon trades it is quoting at Rs 1,081 on the BSE. This is almost 88% higher or Rs 506 above the issue price. So, the moot question now for investors should they stay invested or book profits.
Market expert Ambareesh Baliga is of the opinion that, “MTAR Technologies is not cheap stock even at IPO price and with the stock getting such a good premium on listing investors should book profits at this point. In the past most of the IPOs were expensive yet they listed at huge premiums as the market condition was good. Now since the secondary market is getting a bit weak, investors should utilize this stellar opportunity to book profits.”
“Investors should consider booking profit at these levels. The issue price of Rs.575 implies a post-issue P/E of 47.9x. Valuations will not remain supportive on listing at such a high premium. One should consider booking profit keeping in mind the higher valuations,” said Saurabh Joshi of Marwadi Shares and Finance.
