SCRIP PERFORMANCE: BASED ON BSE WEBSITE DATA: SCRIP CODE: 533263 (FV Rs. 10).
The scrip last closed on cum-right basis at Rs. 15.13 on August 17, 2023, and opened on an ex-right basis at Rs. 14.00 on August 18, 2023. Since then, it has marked a high/low of Rs. 15.25 / Rs. 13.55. The scrip last closed at Rs. 14.32 as of August 24, 2023. For the last 52 weeks, it has posted a high/low of Rs. 15.36 / Rs. 7.08. 

The promoters' holding has declined a bit from 32.53% for the quarter ended March 31, 2023, to 32.48% for the quarter ended June 30, 2023.  

The counter is well managed and kept above the par value to lure investors.


Conclusion / Investment Strategy

Though this RI is at par, inconsistent performance by the company raises concern. However, the segment in which this company is operating is set for bright prospects going forward. High equity capital may pose a servicing issue. The counter is well maintained above par value by vested interest parties. Well-informed investors may park funds in this at par offer for long-term rewards.
