Five IPOs Draw Strong Demand as GMP Trends Diverge
Five companies are offering shares to the public through IPOs.
Three of them—Hy-Tech Engineers, Symbiotec Pharmalab and Skyways Air Services—finish accepting applications on 27 August.
All three have already received more applications than the number of shares available.
Annu Projects is still accepting applications and was 58% subscribed.
Lumino Industries opened on 27 August and reached 87% subscription.
A grey market premium is an unofficial signal of what investors may expect the share price to be after listing.
Hy-Tech Engineers and Skyways Air Services showed rising premiums.
Symbiotec Pharmalab still had a positive indicated listing price, but its current premium was described as showing a pessimistic trend.
Allotment for the three closing IPOs is expected on 28 August.
Hy-Tech Engineers, Symbiotec Pharmalab and Skyways Air Services IPOs close on 27 August after being fully subscribed.
Hy-Tech Engineers recorded 138.45 times subscription, with a grey market premium of ₹44 and an indicated listing price of ₹97.
Symbiotec Pharmalab recorded 19.16 times subscription, while its ₹287 GMP indicated a potential listing price of ₹1,275.
Annu Projects was 58% subscribed, while Lumino Industries reached 87% subscription on its opening day.
Share allotment for the three IPOs closing on 27 August is expected to be finalised on 28 August.
