Mahavir Lunawat, managing director of Pantomath Capital Advisors, said, “The IPO market has been buzzing this fiscal year with at least two to three public offers opening every day. There have been fewer mega IPOs this year compared to last year, as more companies raised smaller tranches of money. But, the IPOs this year have also rewarded investors better.”
With the exception of four companies, every other IPO listed in this financial year gave positive listing gains. Besides, only seven of the 29 IPOs have given single-digit listing gains. The rest all gave double-digit listing gains, he said.
During the week ended October 6, the primary market witnessed 2 mainboard IPOs — Valiant Laboratories and Plaza Wires — open for listing raising an amount of Rs 223.74 crore.
Going forward, the second half of the current fiscal 2023-24 also looks promising, with around 30 companies getting Sebi approval for IPOs where they will collect Rs 40,740 core.
