eMudhra Share Listing Today: What Should Investors Do
“e-Mudhra Limited received a soft response from the investors owing to rich pricing and jittery primary market sentiments. The company has significant market share but intensifying competition cannot be ruled out. Thus, as per the current scenario, the issue may list around Rs 250-260 near its issue price,” said Abhay Doshi, founder at UnlistedArena.com.
For investors of eMudhra IPO, Mohit Nigam, head – PMS, Hem Securities said, “eMudhra Limited is India’s largest licenced certifying authority. The company’s business is divided into two verticles digital trust services and enterprise solutions. The company and its shareholders raised Rs 413 crore from primary markets. The issue in unlisted market is trading with hardly 3 per cent gains. Seeing the current market scenario, weak listing is expected but we advise investors to hold the company for long term as it may give good returns in long term.”
On the public issue, Angel One earlier said, “eMudhra has an established position as licensed certifying authority with a strong network of channel partners, a diverse customer base and it will be using part of the IPO proceeds to grow in overseas markets as well improve its data center infrastructure. However, the scale of operation is relatively modest and digital security and paperless transformation market is highly competitive.”
