Recommendation on AAA Technologies IPO:

Review and Recommendation of InvestorZone are 5/10. 1. The company has experienced management. 2. The company has shown excellent growth and the issue price is reasonably priced at P/E of 9.54x on FY20 earnings. 3. The company is debt-free and paid dividends in the last 2 years. 4. However, the company mainly caters to government projects. And if you see carefully the balance sheet, the company has very high trade receivables. This shows that the company is not getting paid on time by the Government. Plus recent COVID-19 has made government financials haywire.
