Dilip Davda, the contributing editor at Chittorgarh.com, provided an analysis stating, “The company operates within the Defense sector and has shown a satisfactory financial performance to date. However, a careful evaluation of its peers reveals a deceptive comparison. Considering the aggressively priced IPO based on its annualized FY23 earnings, it appears the company is taking advantage of the current hype surrounding the Defense segment. Hence, it may be wise to refrain from investing in this overpriced opportunity.”
