Listing prospects
Positive outlook
Mahesh M. Ojha said LCC Projects’ strong order book, improving profitability and established execution capabilities support its growth outlook, with a potential listing gain of up to 25%.
Risks and caution
The grey market premium of ₹44 was described as a relatively pessimistic signal compared with its fluctuations between ₹17 and ₹78 over the previous 13 sessions.
Long-term investment
Positive outlook
Investors receiving allotments could retain some shares for the long term if the company delivers on execution, according to Ojha.
Risks and caution
Ojha cited dependence on government projects, customer and geographical concentration, project execution challenges and relatively high leverage as risks requiring a balanced valuation approach.
Post-listing strategy
Positive outlook
Partial profit booking could allow allotted investors to secure gains while retaining exposure to future growth.
Risks and caution
The appropriate strategy depends on each investor’s risk appetite and the company’s future execution performance.
