Amagi Media Labs shares are expected to make a tepid listing on the exchanges on Wednesday, in line with the latest trends in the grey market premium (GMP).

Analysts have advised investors to consider partial profit booking on the day of listing.

Narendra Solanki, Head of Fundamental Research – Investment Services at Anand Rathi Shares and Stock Brokers, said Amagi Media Labs Ltd is a Bengaluru-headquartered software-as-a-service (SaaS) company catering to the global media and entertainment industry with cloud-native technology solutions.

"At the upper end of the price band, the company is valued at 6.7 times FY25 price-to-sales, implying a post-issue market capitalisation of about Rs 7,810 crore. The company has turned profitable in the first half of FY26 and, aided by operating leverage, is positioned to deliver full-year profitability in FY26," Solanki said.

He added that continued investments in research and development to improve scalability, automation and user experience support its long-term positioning.

"Long-term investors may continue to hold the stock, while others can consider partial profit booking and retain the balance for the long term," Solanki said.

Strong customer retention, along with cross-selling and upselling opportunities, is expected to support revenue growth over the medium term. The company reported profit after tax in the first half of FY26.

Mahesh M Ojha, Vice President – Research and Business Development at Kantilal Chhaganlal Securities Pvt Ltd, said the issue is valued at about five times FY26 estimated EV/Sales, which he described as reasonable. "Allotted investors may look to book listing gains, while fresh investors should wait for price discovery post listing," Ojha said.
