The scrip last closed on cum-right basis at Rs. 5.10 on May 24, 2024, and opened on an ex-right basis at Rs. 7.00 on June 21, 2024. Thus it has no regular trade. Since then, it has marked a high/low of Rs. 7.05 / Rs. 6.41. The scrip last closed at Rs. 6.95 as of June 21, 2024. For the last 52 weeks' it has posted a high/low of Rs. 8.33 / Rs. 4.12. The counter is currently trading under ESM:1.

The promoters' holding has been reduced to 0% for quarter ended March 31, 2024 against 57.35% as of March 31, 2023. Thus promoters' selling out their entire stake in last one year. The counter is well managed above the RI price to tempt investors. 


Conclusion / Investment Strategy

The company is operating in a highly competitive and fragmented segment of Printing and Stationery business. It has posted an average financial performance. Based on its latest performance, the issue appears aggressively priced. Zero promoter’s holding raises major concern. There is no harm in skipping this “high risk/low return” offer.

Reviewer recommends Avoid to the issue.
