Shares of Optivalue Tek Consulting Limited (INE15B101011) made a strong debut on the NSE SME (Emerge) platform today, listing at ₹103.60 per share, which is about 23 percent higher than the upper end of its IPO price band of ₹80–₹84. The listing instantly signaled investor confidence in the company’s business model and future prospects.
The IPO, which closed last week, raised ₹51.82 crore through a fresh issue of shares. The funds are earmarked for opening a new branch in Bangalore, upgrading IT systems, expanding product development, and meeting working capital needs. Analysts see this as a positive sign, suggesting the money will be used to strengthen growth rather than just balance sheets.
Financially, Optivalue Tek has shown strong momentum. For the year ending March 2025, the company’s revenue grew by more than 54 percent, while profit after tax nearly doubled with a 121 percent jump compared to the previous year. This growth has drawn attention from both institutional and retail investors, especially since the firm works in fast-growing areas like cloud integration, AI analytics, enterprise modernization, and digital engineering.
The excitement around the stock comes at a time when the broader market is already witnessing high activity in IPOs. The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) has been working to cut approval timelines, helping companies like Optivalue reach the market faster. This has encouraged investors to look more closely at SME listings, even though they carry higher volatility.
Despite the strong debut, experts advise caution. The IPO required a relatively high minimum investment of around ₹2.7 lakh for retail buyers, limiting participation to investors with deeper pockets. Also, being an SME listing, liquidity may not be as smooth as on the mainboard, meaning price swings can be sharper.
So, should investors hold the stock?
Market watchers suggest that those who entered at the IPO stage or even at listing could consider holding, as the company’s fundamentals and growth plans appear solid. However, close monitoring of quarterly earnings and execution of its expansion strategy will be key to sustaining long-term gains. For short-term traders, booking some profits after a 23 percent debut premium may also make sense, depending on risk appetite.
The coming quarters will reveal whether Optivalue Tek can translate its strong listing into consistent shareholder returns. For now, the listing premium reflects optimism, but sustained growth will depend on how well the company delivers on its promises in the competitive tech consulting space.
