Casino operator Delta Corp zooms as online gaming arm plans to raise funds via IPO

Deltatech Gaming offers real money gaming via Adda52 and Adda.games platforms and had over 55 lakh registered gamers as of FY22-end, as per a Moneycontrol report.

Although market expert Prakash Diwan sees a “huge value unlocking” in Delta Corp, he also cautioned investors.

“There's a huge value unlocking that's been announced. This was something that was on the cards for a long time. And I think it's been done in whatever numbers I've seen, the valuation, which they're seeking, the OFS and fresh money that is being talked about being raised is fairly significant… I will also caution you that there could be opportunities like these where you would probably book out of the stock, make some profits, and you'll get in at lower levels because it's still not from a P&L perspective absolutely out of the woods,” Diwan told CNBC-TV18.

In a separate development, NSE has put Delta Corp stock under the ban for trade on Friday, under the futures and options (F&O) segment. It implies that no fresh positions are allowed for any F&O contracts in the stock when it is under the ban. The securities have been put on ban under the F&O segment as they have crossed 95 percent of the market-wide position limit (MWPL), as per the NSE.

Delta Corp shares are down well over 30 percent in 2022 so far. At Friday's close of trade, Delta Corp share price settled at Rs 184.20, up 12.42 percent on BSE.
