• UCCL is in the business of manufacturing and trading of various colours of dyestuffs.
• It marked list-less performance for the last two fiscals.
• The public domain as well as the offer document is missing its latest financial data.
• The issue appears aggressively priced. The counter marks irregular trading.
• There is no harm in skipping this "High Risk/Low Return" pricey offer.
PREFACE:
The company came with its maiden IPO in July 2018 at a price of Rs. 60 per share to mobilize Rs. 11.56 cr. and is still on NSE SME Emerge. It is now offering RI at a price of Rs. 50 per share to mobilize Rs. 2.94 cr. Currently the counter is marking irregular trades with a range bound quote and well maintained above the RI price to tempt investors. It has marked listless performance for the last two fiscals. At the time of maiden IPO, Pantomath Capital Advisor was the lead manager and now this RI is self-managed by the company itself. Its offer document has some mismatches. Company's website does not have any latest financial results data, the last data available on their website is for September 30, 2023, and missing its H2 -FY24, FY24, and H1-FY25 financial data. How, NSE has cleared its RI offer documents without the latest financial info, it a million-dollar question.
