Prashanth Tapse, senior VP (research), Mehta Equities, says, "Despite receiving demand well below street expectations, OLA listed well above expectations, which can be attributed to the market mood. Post-listing, the short-term outlook remains cautious due to weak financials and the risk of negative cash flows in the future. Allotted investors should be aware of the risks before holding, as this could adversely impact its consolidated financial condition after listing."

Tapse adds that given all the considerations, "We recommend that only risk-tolerant investors maintain their holdings for at least 2-3 years.The long-term story is intact, but we may see a lot of ups and downs in the short term."
