What should investors do now – book profit or hold for the long term? Here’s what analysts are saying:

Satish Kumar, Research Analyst, Choice BrokingWe have a neutral view on the company and had assigned a ‘subscribe with caution’ rating. The issue is valued at a P/E of 51x on FY21 EPS basis, which looks expensive. The private wealth industry has high competition, and change in regulations like mutual fund commission fess and technological developments are major risks. A major portion of the revenue comes from mutual fund sales and direct-linked debentures, while core private wealth segments like PMS and alternative investments are missing in Anand Rathi’s business profile. The issue listed with modest gains of 9 percent. We recommend investors to book profit.Gaurav Garg, Head of Research, CapitalViaInvestors can hold the stock for short-to-long term as new-age technology-led business verticals might turn out to be a dark horse. In any healthy correction of 8-10 percent from the band might turn out to be an opportunity for long-term investment.Also read: MapmyIndia IPO: Trading at 100% premium in grey market after 154 times subscriptionSantosh Meena, Head of Research, Swastika InvestmartAnand Rathi saw moderate listing gains on expected lines.
