Inference:

The issue is priced  at very high valuations in comparison with  peer company  Bartronics . Post issue EPS shall be reduced to a tad below ì 3 and thus giving a very high earnings multiple of 28.6.Post issue there is already too much dilution of equity and further dilution of equity in future shall erode EPS like nothing. Apart from this ROCE and NPM are below  industry peers. Company works in very competitive and challenging arena and requires very efficient R&D, failing to which company  shall lose its concentrated customer base and that might just wipe out the company.

Considering the very low survival rate for  a technology company in niche sectors, it is not appropriate to invest in this company that too at  such a high valuations.

Investors better skip this IPO.
