Listing strategy

Gaurav Garg Head of Research at CapitalVia Global Research advises investors to book profit in the company as the peers which had already listed on the exchanges like Somany Ceramics and Kajaria Ceramics may outperform the company in the long run.

“Exxaro listing was on expected lines. The stock is cheap at 12XFY24 earnings and investors can hold onto this stock. However we would be waiting for a couple of quarters before recommending for investing,” said Vinit Bolinjkar, Head of Research at Hem Securities.
