Ola Electric Mobility surges up to 19% after at par listing: Here's what investors can do
Ola Electric Mobility listing: After listing on expected lines, shares of the EV company gained up to 18 per cent to day's high of Rs 89.6, while at the last count it was up by 17.36 per cent at Rs 89.19.
What should investors do?
Ahead of the listing Shivani Nyati, Head of Wealth, Swastika Investmart said this flat performance, coupled with a mere 4.45 times subscription, underscores the challenges the company faces in gaining investor confidence.
While Ola Electric's vision for the EV market is ambitious, the company's current financial performance, marked by consistent losses, and the highly competitive landscape have tempered investor enthusiasm. The negative grey market sentiment prior to listing further reflected these concerns.
The flat listing highlights the need for Ola Electric to demonstrate a clear path to profitability and navigate the complexities of the EV market effectively. Investors are suggested to exit and book a minor profit, but those who want to take risks may hold their position by keeping a stop loss below 70, she added.
