NSE Shares Fall Below IPO Price Amid Market Selloff
NSE is the company that runs one of India’s biggest stock exchanges.
Its shares recently started trading publicly through an IPO.
On Monday, the shares fell below the price investors paid in the IPO.
They reached ₹1,761, compared with the IPO price of ₹1,785.
The shares had earlier climbed as high as ₹1,878 after listing.
The fall happened while the broader stock market was also declining.
Analysts believe NSE can benefit if India’s investment markets keep growing.
However, they are concerned because much of NSE’s income comes from trading fees, which could be affected by new rules or less trading.
NSE shares fell below their ₹1,785 IPO issue price on Monday, reaching an intraday low of ₹1,761 on the BSE.
The stock was about 6% below its post-listing peak of ₹1,878 and traded between ₹1,767 and ₹1,771 in morning trading.
NSE had debuted at ₹1,800, an 0.8% premium to the issue price, and ended its first session more than 1.8% higher.
The ₹22,568.94-crore IPO was subscribed 5.71 times, attracting bids worth about ₹90,287.33 crore.
Analysts cited long-term growth potential but warned about transaction-revenue dependence, regulation, competition, pricing pressure and weaker trading activity.
