At the end of Day 1 on Friday, the IPO received bidding for 1,05,17,900 shares against 2,85,63,816 shares on offer. Retail Individual quota attracted maximum investors with subscription of 0.69 times, while, Non-Institutional Investors (NIIs), who bid for amount of more than 10 lakh, portion was subscribed 13% of allotted 20,01,004 shares, as per NSE IPO bidding details.   

Meanwhile, speaking about the IPO, Zee Business Managing Editor Anil Singhvi said that experienced and quality management and strong growth outlook of the company are two positive triggers for this IPO. Downtrend in margins, reasonable valuations, but not very attractive, are drawbacks of the Syrma SGS Technology IPO.  

Singhvi suggested the investors with high-risk threshold can apply for long-term. 

Earlier, Santosh Meena, Head of Research, Swastika Investmart Ltd, had said Syrma SGS Technology Limited is one of the India's leading and fastest growing Electronics system design and manufacturing (ESDM) companies.  

With a huge focus on R&D-based innovation and an experienced management team, the company has managed to enter into various growing segments like PCBA, Radio Frequency Identification (RFID), Electromagnetic and electromechanical parts, and other information technology-related products, including motherboards, DRAM modules, SSD and USB drives.  

The company’s business model starts from product concept design and focuses on every segment of the overall industry value chain; this gives them a competitive advantage over traditional OEM or ODM-based companies that focus on a single process or certain stages of production, thus creating lasting relationships with its marquee clients, said Meena.  

Swastika Investmart Head of Research agreed with Anil Singhvi that the issue has been priced at premium valuation.  

"Further, the geographically diversified manufacturing locations enable them to efficiently cater to the requirements of their customers in north and south India. Additionally, the business has had success using inorganic means to add new product lines and expand its geographic reach. The issue has been priced at a premium valuation, which is acceptable given its growth potential and competitive advantages. And therefore, we recommend investors to subscribe the issue," he added.
