Analysts have offered mixed reviews on the IPO. SBI Securities recommends subscribing to the issue for the long term, highlighting the company’s turnaround and growth in EBITDA. “On the back of a robust business model, going forward, we believe the company is well placed to deliver profitable growth and hence, we recommend investors to subscribe to the issue with a long-term investment horizon,” SBI Securities said.

However, Swastika Investmart advises caution. Swastika Investmart believes that based on current financials, Pine Labs IPO seems aggressively valued, and hence, advises investors to avoid this IPO for now, considering the high valuation and limited short-term visibility.
