Vijaya Diagnostic Center is a prominent diagnostic chain in South India. “The company has performed well over the years which is reflected in top & bottom line growth. On the upper band of 531, the asking P/E comes at around 64x which seems to be on higher side, also the issue is purely OFS and recent fiasco in primary markets have tumbled the sentiments of investors so it would be keen to watch for the subscription rush,” said Abhay Doshi, Founder, UnlistedArena.com, dealing in Pre-IPO & Unlisted Shares.
Ami Organics: The price band of the three-day share sale has been fixed at ₹603-610 per share.

The company has a good return ratio, return on capital employed 25.25% and return on net worth at 32.35%.We have a neutral outlook for Ami organics IPO,” Yash Gupta of Angel Broking said.
