Review: Strengths & Risks

Strengths / Positives

1. Strong Brand & Market Position
   LG is a brand that is known to be reliable in the consumer electronics and home appliances market in India.
2. Diverse Product Range & Distribution
   This company deals with refrigerators, TV, air conditioners, washers, and others. It has an extensive network in manufacturing and service.
3. Anchor Investor Confidence
   Institutional trust can be seen through raising ₹3,475 crore as anchor investors such as global funds.
4. Likely Listing Gains
   Given that GMP is high already, listing on exchanges can give listing applicants instant benefits.
5. No Fresh Dilution
   Since it is not an issue of rights issues but rather an OFS, it has the advantage of not issuing any new shares thus ensuring that the current equity structure remains intact.

Risks / Challenges

1. Valuation Pressure
   There are excessive multiples that the IPO is priced at, in case of slow growth or failure to achieve the expected profitability, valuation correction may occur.
2. Competition
   Fights against such giants as Samsung, Whirlpool and other manufacturers of durable goods - margins may be straining.
3. Dependence on Consumption
   The electronics and appliances demand is cyclical and subject to consumer expenditure, interest rate, and macro economy.
   
   
4. No Fresh Capital Raised
   Being an exclusive OFS company, LG Electronics India does not get IPO proceeds to finance expansion, and this limits flexibility in financing.
5. GMP Risk
   Although the current level of GMP is high, GMP may decline under the event that market sentiment is negative hence, the listing upside is low.

Long-Term vs Short-Term Strategy
