• The company that was primarily engaged in the trading of gold and silver jewellery has not shifted its focus on trading in agri products.
• It marked average performance till FY23 and posted bumper top and bottom line for 9M of FY24.
• Four-fold rise in its post-RI equity may pose servicing issues.
• The counter is well operated by vested interests to tempt investors at large.
• There is no harm in skipping this "High Risk/Low Return" bet.
