Analysts said that the company s brand value, margins and return on capital are lower than its peers and, even as it has improved its profitability on the back of cost-cutting measures of late, such a trend is unsustainable. They remained neutral on the issue and advised only aggressive investors with high risk appetite to participate in the IPO.
Stove Krafts increasing profitability in recent months, mainly from cost-cutting measures and improved investor sentiment about the kitchenware segment, may help the company with a positive listing. The three-day IPO opens on Monday.
