Nine IPOs Open as Investors Weigh Growth and Risks
Several companies are asking investors to buy shares in their IPOs.
An IPO is when a company sells shares to the public for the first time.
The companies operate in areas such as infrastructure, education, lending, steel, real estate, cables and online commerce.
Adroit Industries received the most investor interest, with bids exceeding 63 times the shares offered.
AceVector, the parent of Snapdeal, received a much weaker response, with only 6% subscription in the first three hours.
Investors and brokerages like some companies because they have growing businesses, useful assets or new expansion plans.
However, these companies also face risks such as debt, competition, changing raw-material prices and difficulty completing projects.
Some companies may also have losses, high valuations or dependence on a small number of customers.
The article says 10 IPOs are involved, but it provides detailed information on nine.
The article headline refers to 10 IPOs, but details are provided for nine companies with issues opening between September 23 and September 25.
Adroit Industries had the strongest reported demand, with subscriptions exceeding 63 times, while AceVector was subscribed only 6% during the first three hours.
Swastika Infra, Moneyview, A-One Steels, Orient Cables and German Green Steel & Power also received reported bids ranging from 66% to 3.40 times.
Brokerages cited order books, diversification, capacity expansion, asset-light models and improving profitability as key positives across several issuers.
Major risks include leverage, valuation, execution, customer concentration, cyclical industries, regulatory exposure, losses and working-capital requirements.
