However, secondary market experts maintained that GMP is not a right variable to find out whether a public issue will succeed or not. They said that its balance sheet of the company that matters and advised investors to stick with the basics.

Highlighting the fundamentals in regard to ASG Transact Technologies IPO; Abhay Doshi, Founder at UnlistedArena.com said, “AGS Transact Technologies is an omni-channel payment solutions provider having diversified portfolio in payment and automation solutions. The pandemic has impacted the business due to slowdown in economic activities resulting in lack of growth in top as well as bottom line of the company. The issue is priced at a PE multiple of 38 based on FY21 earnings and has incurred a loss of around 18 crores in 5MFY22. Owing to these factors, the IPO may get a moderate response. However, the revenues from digital solutions will be a key thing to watch for going ahead.”
