Recommendation on Sona BLW Precision Forgings Limited IPO:

Review and Recommendation of Sona BLW IPO by IZ team is 4/10 1. The sector in which company is operating is struggling from the last 3 years. 2. All the peers have generated no growth or given almost negligible returns to the investors. 3. Issue size is very big. Plus, asking P/E is almost 72, which has left nothing in the hands of investors to earn. 4. Companies that are typically coming to give exit to the investors at high valuation wont give much return to investors.
