What this GMP mean?
Market observers said that GMP is nothing but an estimated idea about the listing premium one can expect from a particular public issue. As Vedant Fashions IPO GMP today is ₹13, it means grey market is expecting that Vedant Fashions shares would list around ₹879 ( ₹866 + ₹13), which is almost at par with the price band of the public issue of ₹824 to ₹866 per share.
However, secondary market experts maintained that GMP is not an ideal indicator of expected listing gain from an IPO. They advised investors to look at the financials of the company as they indicate concrete idea about the financial status and business model of the company.
Speaking on the fundamentals of the company; Ravi Singh, VP and Head of Research at Share India said, “Vedant Fashions commonly known as Manyavar is a well known name in a market of celebration wear. However, the financials are not promising and in downward direction since Covid-19 pandemic. The company’s total assets and profit margins have also reduced. The IPO price band seems at higher side as compared to the valuations.”
