Ola Electric share price prediction

Regarding Ola Electric's share price outlook, Prashanth Tapse, Senior VP — Research at Mehta Equities, said, “Despite receiving demand well below street expectation, OLA Electric's share price listing well above street expectations can be attributed to the Indian market mood. Post-listing, the short-term view remains the same due to weak financials and the risk of negative cash flows in future, and allotted investors should understand the risk before holding, which could adversely impact its consolidated financial condition post-listing. Considering all the factors, we advise only risk-taking investors to continue to hold with a minimum holding period of 2-3 years.”

Advising Ola Electric shareholders to hold the scrip for the medium to long term, Arun Kejriwal, Founder of Kejriwal Research and Investment Services, said, "At the time of listing, Ola Electric shares had a trading volume of around six crores that surged to over 34 crores within an hour of share listing. This means institutional buying has taken place at an alarming level, and hence, chances of retracement in Ola Electric share price from the higher levels are limited. So, Ola Electric shareholders are advised to hold the scrip maintaining stop loss at ₹75."

On the suggestion to fresh investors, Arun Kejriwal said, "Fresh investors can start accumulating Ola Electric shares from current levels and keep on adding after every big dip in the newly listed share. They are also advised to maintain stop loss at ₹75 apiece."
