Bansal Wire listing: Stock lists at a healthy premium of 39%; here's what investors should do?

Bansal Wire Industries shares debuted on expected lines and started trade on the Indian bourses at a healthy premium over the IPO issue price of Rs 256. On the BSE, the stock listed at Rs 352.05, a premium of 37.5 per cent, while on the NSE the stock entered the listed space at Rs 356, a significant premium of over 39 per cent.

Shivani Nyati, Head of Wealth, Swastika Investmart on the stock's listing said the company's listing surpassed pre-listing expectations with a stellar debut on the stock exchanges. 

The company received a robust subscription, highlighting significant investor confidence in Bansal Wire's established position, diverse product portfolio, and consistent financial performance. However, it operates in a highly fragmented and competitive market. 

Overall, Bansal Wire's listing performance surpasses pre-listing expectations and signifies investor confidence in the company's potential. However, careful consideration of the identified risks is still crucial. Investors are advised to hold their position with a stop-loss of Rs. 321, advises Nyati.
