Shivani Nyati, Head of Wealth, Swastika Investmart on the strong listing gains said the stock witnessed a remarkable stock market debut, exceeding pre-listing expectations. This impressive performance surpasses the anticipated strong listing, fueled by the overwhelming investor response during the IPO, she added.

What should investors do after DEE's strong listing?

Nyati is of the view that the company's exceptional listing performance signifies strong investor confidence in the company's future prospects. The company's strong competitive edge, established clientele, diverse product portfolio, robust order book, and consistent financial performance likely fueled investor enthusiasm. However, it's crucial to maintain a balanced perspective now. Though we have a long-term view for this company, a stop-loss level of 300 could be maintained, she added.
