Quality Power Electrical Equipments’ share price had a lackluster debut on Dalal Street today, February 24, listing at a 1.17% premium to the IPO price at ₹430 apiece on the NSE, compared to the issue price of ₹425. On the BSE, it was listed at a 1.66% premium at ₹432 apiece.
After a muted debut on the exchanges, the stock failed to sustain its initial listing gains, tumbling 7.7% to ₹396.75 apiece from the listing price. The weak market debut was attributed to the modest response to its IPO, which received subscription rate of 1.29 times during its bidding period, which opened from February 14 and February 18.
Following the stock’s weak entry, Prashanth Tapse, Senior VP (Research), Mehta Equities Ltd, advised investors to hold the stock, citing the company’s strong position in the power infrastructure sector.
“Post-listing, we continue to believe that Quality Power Electrical Equipments Ltd (QPEEL) presents a long-term investment opportunity in the rapidly growing energy transition and power infrastructure sector. With a strong global presence, specialized expertise in HVDC and FACTS technologies, and a diversified high-voltage equipment portfolio, the company is well-positioned for grid modernization and renewable energy integration. Hence, we recommend that allotted investors ‘HOLD’ the Quality Power Electrical Equipments Ltd IPO for the long term, despite potential short-term volatility post-listing,” said Prashanth Tapse.
