Star Plus Legend commits $8 million as limited partner in industry fund.

Kandal M Venture Limited, a contract manufacturer of affordable luxury leather goods, successfully completed its initial public offering (IPO) on Nasdaq, raising $8 million. The company sold 2 million shares at $4 each, with the proceeds to be used for expanding its customer base, enhancing production capacity, establishing a design and development center, and for general corporate purposes [1].

The shares began trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol "FMFC" on June 25, 2025. The IPO was underwritten by Dominari Securities LLC and Revere Securities LLC, with a registration statement filed with the SEC [1].

The successful IPO indicates strong investor interest and capital for future growth. The company's plans to expand its customer base, particularly in key European markets, and to enhance production capacity suggest a proactive growth strategy. The listing on Nasdaq provides credibility and visibility, potentially attracting more investors and enhancing market presence [1].

However, the IPO price of $4 per share may indicate that the company is struggling to attract investors, given the relatively low gross proceeds of $8 million. The granted option to underwriters for additional shares may dilute existing shareholders' equity if exercised, raising concerns about the company's commitment to maximizing shareholder value. The warning regarding forward-looking statements emphasizes uncertainty, potentially making investors wary of the company's future performance and stability [1].
