  • I have a neutral view on Vertexplus Technologies IPO and valuations are certainly streched. I may apply very small lot in Vertexplus Technologies IPO at the fag end on Day 3 purely as a small risky short term investment.
  • SME IPO are more volatile and I generally exit on the listing day, many times in pre open session.
  • The lead manager Beeline Capital Advisors has a reasonable record with most of the SME IPOs lead managed by them having listed with gains.
  • Please do your own diligence as SME IPOs are more volatile and risky than mainboard IPOs and need more funds.
