Should investors buy, sell or hold Vibhor Steel Tubes shares now?
“Vibhor Steel Tubes defied even the most optimistic predictions on the listing day. This unprecedented performance vastly exceeds the previously anticipated surge, fuelled by the company's strong fundamentals and the overwhelming investor response. Boasting a diverse product portfolio, an established distribution network, and consistent financial performance, Vibhor Steel Tubes possesses a solid foundation for growth,” said Shivani Nyati, Head of Wealth at Swastika Investmart.
However, the analyst said that Vibhor Steel’s high valuation could pose potential risks in the long term despite the strong listing.
“Those who still want to hold are suggested to keep a stop loss at around Rs 380,” Nyati added.
Brokerages Hem Securities and Ventura had given a thumbs-up to the issue citing the steel product manufacturer’s position in areas such as electric resistance welded (ERW) pipes and cold rolled steel.
Swastika Investmart had also suggested subscribing to the issue with a cautious view.
