Closing Thoughts

Stove Kraft despite being one of the largest Kitchen appliance suppliers but still has a few concerns. The brand Pigeon which contributes 80% of its sales is under dispute. The company broke even only two years ago and has been profitable for only 2 years.

Despite posting exceptional profits in the coming years especially in the first half of final year 21 these concerns are to be noted before investing in the IPO. Happy Investing!
