Listing strategy

Investors who got allotment are happy thanks to robust listing done by Rolex Rings. So, what should be the strategy now for the stock? Here is what analysts are saying about the stock

Saurabh Joshi of Marwadi Shares and Finance recommended investors book profit on listing as client concentration risk and corporate debt restructuring in the past keeps us cautious from a longer-term perspective. Long term investors are advised to avoid entering the stock at any correction due to the greater risk associated with the investment.

The company listed at P/E of 38.90 which when compared with MM Forgings (P/E 38.02) and Ramkrishna Forgings (P/E 39.77) caps the upside potential of the stock in the short term as well, Joshi added.

“At the current market price, the stock is fairly valued at ~26x FY23E EPS (earnings per share) which captures most positives like its exposure to most bearing manufacturers in India and wide product basket among others,” said Milan Desai, lead equity analyst at Angel Broking.

Even Angel Broking recommends investors to book profits at current levels. While those who were not allotted shares during the IPO (initial public offer), the brokerage firm suggests to wait for a meaningful correction in the stock.
