Happy Forgings share price outlook

Speaking on strong debut of Happy Forgings shares, Parth Shah, Research Analyst at StoxBox said, "We believe that this strong listing can be attributable to the company’s consistent performance and growth which can be seen in the revenue and EBITDA growth over the past three years. The company is a leading player in the domestic crankshaft manufacturing industry and has the second-largest production capacity for CV and industrial crankshafts. With the global forging and Indian crankshaft markets expected to grow at CAGR of 5.2% and 8.3%, respectively, we believe that the company’s increasing focus on producing market-accretive value-added products provides an opportunistic environment for the company."

Expecting selling pressure on rise, Arun Kejriwal, Founder at Kejriwal Research and Investment Services said, "Trade volume is high and the stock has facing selling on rise pressure. As the stock was priced higher, this might be the reason for selling on rise pressure on the stock despite positive debut. So, my advice for the allottees to book maintain stop loss below today low of ₹961 and book profit on rise."

Kejriwal advised investors to wait for the stock to settle down after listing and then only should take any investment decision.
