Prashanth Tapse, Research Analyst, Sr VP Research, Mehta Equities Ltd, said: considering overwhelming subscription demand and investor friendly pricing, Tata Technologies could see a strong listing gain of over 75 per cent against the issue price of ₹500 a share. “There is a high possibility that Tata Technologies can be a doubler candidate post listing, he added.

Premium justified

“We believe the super listing premium is justified mainly on the back of Tata parentage tag that enjoys first preference among investors community and its unique well established global business model which has been generating healthy margins in the sector it serves. Given the growth potential in outsourcing, the business model would be in great demand going forward. Hence considering all these factors, we recommend allotted investors to book 50 per cent profits over and above our expectations and retain the rest of the holding for long term considering healthy long term returns post listing,” he added.
