NSE Shares Slip Below IPO Price Amid Weak Market Sentiment
NSE shares fell for the second trading session in a row.
They opened at ₹1,786 but soon dropped as low as ₹1,761.
This put the shares below their IPO price of ₹1,785.
Experts said the main reason was weak mood in the wider stock market.
Arun Kejriwal believes NSE is a strong long-term portfolio stock.
Anuj Gupta advised current shareholders to hold, but to use ₹1,740 as a stop-loss level.
The share may face difficulty rising unless it moves back above ₹1,785.
Experts will also watch whether it can stay above about ₹1,770.
NSE shares opened at ₹1,786 on the BSE and fell to an intraday low of ₹1,761 on Monday.
The stock slipped below its ₹1,785 IPO price on its third day of listing.
Experts attributed the decline mainly to weak sentiment in the broader Indian stock market.
Anuj Gupta advised shareholders to hold with a stop-loss at ₹1,740, while watching ₹1,785 as immediate resistance.
Arun Kejriwal said sustained trading above roughly ₹1,770 could support a move back above ₹1,785.

Arun Kejriwal described NSE as a portfolio stock reflecting the Indian economy and capital market, and recommended buying and holding it for long-term goals.
Short-term cautious view
Anuj Gupta advised shareholders to hold only while monitoring the ₹1,740 stop-loss and waiting for a decisive move outside the ₹1,740–₹1,785 range.
Potential recovery
Long-term bullish view
Kejriwal said sustained trading above roughly ₹1,770 for a few hours could allow the stock to rise above ₹1,785.
Short-term cautious view
Gupta said a recovery could not be expected without a bullish trigger for the Indian stock market if the share fails to move above ₹1,785.
Meaning of the decline
Long-term bullish view
Kejriwal said the stock’s opening above the previous close, despite a falling market, showed confidence from bullish investors.

The continued sell-off and break below the IPO price indicate near-term weakness, with ₹1,785 and the previous close acting as hurdles.

“The average weighted NSE share price today is around ₹1770, whereas the NSE share is currently trading at ₹1772 per share on the NSE. If the price sustains above ₹1770 for a few hours, then we can expect the stock to come above ₹1785. However, the previous close would continue to work as immediate resistance for the NSE shares on Monday.”
