ECOS Mobility IPO listing: Shivani Nyati
Shivani Nyati, Head of Wealth at Swastika Investment, commented on the listing of ECOS Mobility shares, saying, “This outstanding result was fueled by robust interest from investors in the IPO’s 64.18 times subscription and a significant grey market premium. Although the listing was positive, investors should exercise caution given the company’s inconsistent financial record.”
In the words of Nyati, despite top-line expansion, profitability has dropped, indicating possible issues in cost management and return maximization. The IPO’s valuation seemed higher based on the price-to-earnings ratio, which may have helped the somewhat small listing gain in comparison to the pre-listing excitement. Furthermore, the company’s status as an entire offer for sale implies it will not get any new cash from the IPO, thus limiting its capacity to accelerate expansion or address challenges if any.

Despite the successful start, the listing gains remained slightly lower than the grey market’s forecasts of a 37-40% premium. Nonetheless, the first increase in ECOS Mobility’s shares demonstrates a strong basis for future growth, particularly given the company’s 25-year history.
