“We believe that prudent has a very strong retail focused business model which provides them with a distinct competitive advantage and will be difficult to replicate. However valuations are on the higher side as compared to peers which will limit gains in the near term and hence we have a NEUTRAL recommendation on the IPO,” said analysts at Angel One in a note.

Since the company is entering with a higher valuation is might be subject to corrections in near future,” said Jainam Broking.
