Crisp Insights:
Sai Silks IPO GMP Today: The Company is commanding a GMP of Rs.15.
Sai Silk GMP is weak and hence, investors need to be careful.
Sai Silks IPO Review: Following an unsuccessful attempt at its inaugural IPO back in February 2013, this company has risen to become one of the top 10 retailers in the ethnic wares market, with a strong emphasis on sarees. Its prospects for future growth appear promising, contingent upon its expansion into diverse geographical locations beyond South India and its ability to sustain customer loyalty. However, judging by its FY23 earnings, the offering seems to be fairly valued. Savvy investors with some understanding of the market may consider investing for potential medium to long-term gains.
