"LG Electronics India remains a compelling long-term structural story, serving as a proxy for India’s fast-growing, value-driven home appliances market, where the company holds a No. 1 position across multiple categories.
"The valuation was attractively priced relative to the industry average of comparable listed peers, justifying the premium listing. Near-term growth visibility also remains encouraging, aided by the anticipated GST 2.0 reforms, which could enhance consumer affordability and drive strong volume growth in the upcoming quarters," said Mehta Equities.
Here's their recommendation:
Allotted Investors: HOLD for the long term, backed by LG’s dominant market position, diversified product mix, and consistent growth outlook, while noting possible short-term volatility.
Non-Allotted Investors: Adopt a ‘Wait and Watch’ approach — monitor post-listing price movements and consider accumulating on meaningful dips.

Looking at strong legacy brand recognition with market leadership across multiple consumer durables products along with in-house production capacity among the peers in India making it giant in industry. Hence, investors those who have got allotted the shares could book part profits at premium listing and may hold the rest for long term post listing," said Narendra Solanki of Anand Rathi.
