LG Electronics India: What experts say?
Analysts, cited by ET, say that the stock could draw strong investor interest, with its attractive valuations and solid business prospects, factors that helped make the company’s IPO the most subscribed in 2025, likely to continue driving demand.Prathmesh Masdekar, research analyst at StoxBox said, “The issue was valued cheaper compared to its peers and the company is debt free, while its return ratios are also strong. The indications are listing gains of 30-35%.”“If the listing is exceptionally high, there could be profit booking, but if the listing is at around 15-20% then the valuation discount can justify the gains,” Narendra Solanki, head of fundamental research and investment services, Anand Rathi Shares and Stock Brokers told ET.In FY25, LG Electronics India reported a strong performance, with revenue up 14% year-on-year to Rs 24,631 crore and profit after tax surging 46% to Rs 2,203 crore.
