Integra Essentia RI May 26 - review - (Not Rated)

•    This is the 4th RI from the company since May 2022. 
•    The last RI was in the month of June 2024.
•    Based on its recent financial data, the issue appears aggressively priced. 
•    Major hike in its post-RI equity base also hints at its servicing issue going forward.
•    There is no harm in skipping this high risk pricey and dicey bet.
