Key Strengths:
Strong promoter profile
Adequate value generation for shareholders
Comfortable financial flexibility

Key Challenges:
Limited track record with evolving system and procedures
Lack of clarity regarding sources of raising further funds for investment
Absence of company's ability to maintain liquid investment portfolio on a sustained basis

Conclusion:

Emerging Nepal, which is backed up by strong promoters shareholders, is expected to give IPO investors impressive returns under the assumptions of the basic theory of demand and supply.

The total shares floated by Emerging Nepal Limited is 555,600 units, of which only 5,16,708 units are available to the general public after the allocation of shares to staff and mutual funds.

If we see the recently concluded IPO, a total of more than 27 lakh applicants applied for the company IPO and we assume that the same or even more craze prevails in Emerging Nepal Limited's IPO too. Since the 10 kitta rule exists for IPO; 51,670 applicants will be lucky enough to get the shares of Emerging Nepal Limited.

Hence, if the same number of applicants (or more), i.e., 26+ lakhs apply for this issue then there is a high probability of lottery for 10 units. Since the minimum unit is 10, it is advisable to apply only 10 units in the IPO issue of Emerging Nepal Limited.
