The strong market debut came after the company’s Rs 700-crore IPO received an overwhelming response from investors, being subscribed more than 124 times between August 27 and August 31.

Attractive valuations versus EPC and cable peers, strong profitability with an 11.71% EBITDA margin, and the highest RoNW among key peers supported Shivani Nyati’s positive view on the stock.
The Head of Wealth at Swastika Investmart said the planned debt reduction from IPO proceeds could also help lower finance costs going forward.At 17.5x FY26 earnings, the stock trades at a significant discount to peers, said Sunny Agrawal, Head of Fundamental Research at SBI Securities.
He added that debt repayment through IPO proceeds should further lower interest cost and boost profitability in the ongoing financial year 2027.ADVERTISEMENT However, the high dependence on government and PSU clients, which contribute 53-86% of revenue, remains a key risk due to tender-driven and potentially lumpy cash flows, said Nyati.
For IPO allottees, she said that partial profit booking and holding the remaining shares with a trailing stop-loss of Rs 98–100 can be considered.Fresh investors should avoid chasing the stock after the sharp listing gain and wait for some consolidation.
“If the stock sustains above Rs 110–112 with strong volumes, it could move towards Rs 120–125.
