Shivani Nyati, Head of Wealth at Swastika Investmart Ltd. believes the strong market demand may support the Baazar Style Retail IPO listing, but high valuation could temper investor enthusiasm.
“Bazaar Style, a rapidly growing value retailer, is set for a positive stock market listing. The IPO received strong investor interest, with a subscription rate of 40.63 times and a GMP of 45 (11.57%). The company's impressive growth trajectory, margin improvement, and robust financial performance bode well for its future. However, the IPO's valuation is on the higher side, which could temper investor enthusiasm. While strong market demand is likely to support a positive listing, investors may prioritize short-term gains due to valuation concerns. A cautious approach is recommended, balancing the company's growth potential with the valuation risks,” Nyati said.
