Short-term investors looking for listing gains may consider partial profit booking if the stock lists at a premium, as high valuations and AI-sector sentiment could lead to initial volatility. Long-term investors may consider holding the stock given the company’s presence in a high-growth global AI and analytics market." Fractal Analytics share listing: Should you buy, sell or hold?
