Following the bumper debut, Shivani Nyati, head of wealth at Swastika Investmart, said that while the listing signals positive investor sentiment, one should take note of the company's weak FY26 performance. MV Electrosystems' revenue declined around 21 per cent Y-o-Y and posted a net loss of ₹12.6 crore. 

 

 

She said the investment story now depends on improving execution and returning to profitable growth.  "Allotted investors can consider booking partial profits and hold the remaining position with a stop-loss ₹470, while fresh investors should wait for consistent operational performance before entering," Nyati advised.  Check - TOP GAINERS NSE | TOP LOSERS NSE
