What do analyst say?
What happens next in Jio Financial Services? – A Million Dollar Question in every investors mind, says Prashanth Tapse, Research Analyst, Senior Vice President of Research at Mehta Equities
According to Tapse, post disappointing listing on 21st August 23 it was on lower circuits for few initial days due the selling pressure from funds and in the T2T segment where volatility was controlled due to T2T segment rules.
“Now post removal from Sensex, I believe volatility would reduce or neutralise as it is also coming out of T2T group on the same day completing 10 days under T2T post listing. Now the demand and supply in Jio Financial Services shares would get normalised based on events and performance data points on the business activities. Technically, I believe risky traders can look to Accumulate in -2 tranches up to 218 level,” explained Prashanth.
According to Mohit Gulati, CIO & Managing Partner of ITI Growth Opportunities Fund, MSCI and FTSE indices will retain Jio Financial in the index without any impact on inflow or outflow; as long as they hold the fort the exclusion from Sensex wont hurt the stock. Also if price limits are met then NIFTY will also retain JFSL in the index. So only Sensex exclusion will be an isolated event.
