Discussion on AccelerateBS India Limited IPO:

2 Comments

    There is no growth in the business in the last 4 years. So, clear avoid.

    Reply

    The downward trend in revenue and the Offering for Sale (OFS) in the Small and Medium Enterprises (SME) sector often signal negative developments. Coupled with the promoter’s decision to sell the business at a market cap of 18 crores, this may suggest a lack of confidence in future growth prospects. Additionally, the asking Price-to-Earnings (P/E) ratio exceeds 30, which is quite high. Despite being in operation for a decade, the company’s revenue has not reached a notably high level. These factors combined may raise some concerns
