Khan said the company continues to deliver stronger margins, returns and earnings compared to domestic peers such as Blue Star and Voltas, but the valuation comfort seen before the IPO has now moderated.Three brokerages – Motilal Oswal Financial Services (₹1,800), PL Capital (₹1,780) and Emkay (₹2,050) – have initiated coverage on the stock with a ‘Buy’ rating, implying upsides of 6-22% from current levels.”We believe LG Electronics India is fairly valued around ₹1,850 in the near term, with limited upside from current levels,” said Aakash Fadia, vice-president – Consumer Durables, Institutional Equities Research, Yes Securities. “Investors who received IPO allotments may consider booking profits, while fresh investors could look to enter on dips, particularly around the second-quarter results, which may be impacted by softer primary sales,” he said.

Echoing Fadia, Khan too said investors, who received allotment in the IPO, could consider booking profits as the stock moves higher over the next few days, and look for re-entry opportunities after the second-quarter results. “For new investors, a correction toward the ₹1,600-1,630 range would offer a more attractive risk-reward setup,” he said.
