But should you book profits now in the scrip or hold it for better long-term gains? Analysts noted that the company’s superb listing can be attributed to positive market sentiments, bright future prospects, and a phenomenal response from investors. Let's see they say.
Naveen Kulkarni, Chief Investment Officer, Axis Securities believes investors should consider holding the stock for future potential gains.
"Dreamfolks got listed at a 56% premium to its issue price of ₹508 per share. With robust growth in passenger air traffic, we expect a potential upside to the company’s business operations moving ahead. Against this backdrop, investors who have invested in the IPO may hold the stock for the long-term horizon. Investors with moderate risk appetite may consider investing in the stock post-listing," Kulkarni said.
However, Nirvi Ashar, Manager of Fundamental Research, Religare Broking believes that investors should book profit now.
"Yes, investors should book profit in DreamFolks IPO as we believe stake dilution by the promoter and rich valuation provides a limited scope of upside," Ashar noted.
Angel One also believes that the stellar listing of the stock leaves little room for future upside and recommends booking profits.
