13) Vedant Fashions IPO Review – Should you invest or avoid?

You might be wondering whether Vedant Fashion IPO is good or bad for investment.

Vedant Fashions is leader in Indian celebration wear market. It has key brands like Manyavar, Mebaz, Mohey etc.,

Company revenues and margins are on declining mode due to covid pandemic.

Its issue price is overpriced. Not sure how companies are coming with IPO with such aggressive pricing and that too when stock markets are taking huge corrections in the last few weeks.

Considering all positive and risk factors, investors can stay away from such IPOs as of now. When such stocks are available at discounted price post listing, one can accumulate considering the valuations during that time.

Readers, do you think this would be another Zomato or Paytm or Policybazaar kind of IPO listing and get corrected there on to lower levels?
