Unicommerce eSolutions IPO review
Analysts advised aggressive investors can subscribe to the IPO for listing gains as the issue is priced on the higher side.
«The IPO is aggressively priced at a P/E of 84x, reflecting a premium valuation. In the absence of listed peers, a comprehensive valuation comparison is challenging. Given these factors, we recommend a cautious approach and suggest that only well informed investors consider this IPO for potential listing gains,» said Swastika Investmart.
