However, it highlighted that the issue is being offered at a substantial premium compared with listed peers, limiting valuation attractiveness.The brokerage also flagged key concerns, including the company's reliance on government contracts, relatively high receivable cycles, and strong competition within the IT services sector.Swastika Investmart noted that while the company offers exposure to the growing GovTech space, its premium valuation and execution-related risks justify a neutral investment outlook.With the grey market premium (GMP) hovering around 4%, current unofficial market signals suggest only moderate listing-day expectations. As a result, investors may be better served evaluating the company's long-term opportunities in digital public infrastructure and enterprise technology rather than focusing solely on short-term listing gains.(Disclaimer: Recommendations, suggestions, views and opinions given by the experts are their own.
