Aeroflex IPO: Aeroflex Industries Ltd on Thursday, August 31, made its stock market debut, with its shares opening at Rs 197.4 on the BSE, which is about 82.78 per cent higher than the issue price of Rs 108 per share.

Prashanth Tapse, research analyst, senior vice-president (research) of Mehta Equities, said, “Considering robust demand response by investors in all categories, investors were eagerly waiting for the Ashish Kacholia-backed Aeroflex Industries listing. Despite expensive valuations at the higher end, the offer got stellar demand for its unique eco-friendly product which is said to be an alternative to rubber-based hoses and business demand for both international and domestic markets which justifies the premium listing.”

He added that after the strong debut of Aeroflex Industries, we see valuation would be stretched and investors should look to booking profits. “Hence, we recommend allotted investors to book profits on the listing day and those who look to buy on the listing day should wait and watch before buying at debut price.”

Pravesh Gour, senior technical analyst at Swastika Investmart, said, “Aeroflex Industries Ltd has made a remarkable market debut, opening at Rs 197.40 (+83 per cent) compared to its issue price.”

He added that allottees who applied for the public offering for listing premium are advised to maintain their stop loss at Rs 170 and wait for further upside, whereas those who have a medium- to long-term perspective can also hold the stock.
