Saurabh Joshi Research Analyst at Marwadi Shares and Finance recommends investors to book profit. The company listed at Rs.811.50/- per share with a market cap of Rs.4,169 crore implying a valuation of 38.61 times P/E whereas its peers namely Endurance Technologies and Motherson Sumi are trading at P/E of 32.74 and 33.11 times. The risk-reward ratio for holding the sock does not look favourable at this valuation and one should consider booking profits at this point in time.
“Investors can book partial profits and wait for some time. The auto sector is under pressure because of supply-side constraints. One should wait for an opportunity for a healthy correction and the price to go below the IPO price for making a fresh entry for long-term,” said Gaurav Garg, Head of Research at CapitalVia Global Research.
