The brokerage house has advised investors to ‘subscribe’ to the issue as it is available at a reasonable valuation compared to its peer and the company is India’s largest in its space with a pan-India footprint and deep penetration in growing markets.

The brokerage house has advised the investors to ‘subscribe’ to the issue for listing gains. It said we are comfortable on the valuation front and about the medium-term outlook on the business as an increase in velocity of physical currency in circulation is a piece of sweet music for the company.

Meanwhile, according to CNBC TV 18 report, the dealers said CMS Info Systems' grey market premium (GMP) was steady at Rs  30 on Monday.

"However, the business of the company is into ATM and cash management, and cash is slowly reducing in the economy with UPI transactions in the limelight. The peer SIS has underperformed since listing. The sector does not appear to have great prospects plus market conditions are also poor," he said.
