What do you think about Pecca Group IPO? Are you going to subscribe?
what is your honest view regarding this IPO sir? As 17.1 million will be used to repay their loans which is quite a huge chunk from the investors money
I think paying loan is good because the company will have lower gearing. This will lower the operational cost as the company no longer have to pay interest to service the loan.
