Ceigall India Ltd began trading on August 8 with shares listing at Rs 419 on the NSE, a modest 4.4 percent premium over the issue price of Rs 401. This opening aligned with analysts' expectations of around 5 percent gains. Analysts are divided on short-term versus long-term strategies, but the consensus points towards holding shares for future appreciation, driven by the company's strong order book and strategic market positioning.
Emphasising Ceigall's long-term potential, Narendra Solanki, Head of Fundamental Research at Anand Rathi Shares said, "The company has a strong order book spread across various business sectors and geographical regions allowing them to pursue a wider range of project tenders, thereby maximizing their business volume and profit margins.

He recommended a 'Hold' position to traders, anticipating premium multiples post-listing due to Ceigall's strong project execution capabilities.
Parth Shah, Research Analyst at StoxBox said that with a revenue CAGR of 43.9 percent and a strategic alliance with Delhi Metro, Ceigall India is well-positioned for future growth.
