- Average EPS for the last 3 years is ₹ 1.77
Reasons to invest Vishal Tradelink IPO
- Good growth in the revenue in the last 5 years
Reasons not to invest in Vishal Tradelink IPO
- Company runs on thin margins. Thought revenue has increased substantially; such low margins can be wiped out with any small change in uncertain conditions.
- This is general wholesale business and any stiff competition can create challenges to such business.
- Companies can directly sell paper products to retailers instead through such wholesaler.
Recommendation / Investment strategy:
The minimum investment required is ₹ 1.40 lakhs. The SME IPO’s listed are trading with very low volume and the liquidity has been a problem. Company runs on thin margins. Considering all these negative points, my suggestion to investors is to stay away from this IPO.
