SME IPOs: Over Half in Green Amidst Tightening Rules
In the stock market, small and medium-sized businesses (SMEs) are selling shares to the public.
Many of these new stocks have done well, with about 55% making money for investors.
Some companies have seen huge gains, while others have lost value.
Several new companies are planning to list their shares soon.
The exchanges are making it harder for SMEs to list to prevent problems like fraud, as noticed by the SEBI regulatory body.
About 55% of SME IPOs in FY26 have shown strong returns, trading above issue prices.
Multi-baggers include Monolithisch India, Srigee DLM, and Cryogenic OGS, with gains up to 170%.
Some companies, like Valencia India and Vandan Foods, have declined 50-70% from their IPO prices.
Next week will see listings for companies like Icodex Publishing Solutions and Mahendra Realtors.
Both BSE and NSE have tightened listing rules for SMEs after SEBI flagged fraudulent activities.
