Recommendation on Krishna Defence IPO:

Review and Recommendation of Krishna Defence IPO by InvestorZone is 4/10 1. Krishna Defence 70% revenue comes from defence and 30% dairy and kitchen equipment manufacturing business. In defence they make products like : bulb bars, food container, improved space heating device or bukhari, improvised explosive device (IED) containment vessel, man mounted cooling system, solar snow melter and mounting and support equipment for camouflage net. These are not very critical products to be used in the defence. 2. The revenue is declining from the last 3 years. No growth in business. Negative for krishna Defence IPO. 3.  IPO is priced at P/E of 23x which looks over-priced.
