Outlook and Conclusion 

Stove Kraft operates in a very competitive environment, the kitchen appliances market has both organized and unorganized players. The financial performance of the company is not consistent. The sales have increased considerably even during the Covid scenario which appears unreasonable. The company has posted extraordinary profits in the six months ended 30th Sept 2020; whether the company would be able to maintain such profits is a big concern. Hence, the investors may give a miss to apply in this IPO!
