Davin Sons Retail IPO Review
Considering the strong financial performance and the potential growth of the garment manufacturing and FMCG distribution sectors, the Davin Sons Retail IPO offers investors an opportunity in a stable business. However, the Grey Market Premium indicates modest potential listing gains of 14.54%, suggesting that the IPO may not deliver exceptional gains in the short term. Given these factors, we recommend investors to avoid this IPO for listing gains but could consider for long-term investment in case of strong future growth.
