IPO GMPs: Lohia Corp IPO vs Indo-MIM IPO vs Xtranet Technologies IPO — what grey market hints ahead of IPO opening date
AI Summary
The IPO market is gaining momentum with several upcoming offerings, including Lohia Corp, Indo-MIM, and Xtranet Technologies, set to open for subscription on July 23. While investor interest is strong for quality businesses, caution remains as the market is more selective than euphoric. Notably, Indo-MIM's grey market premium suggests a promising listing, potentially valuing shares significantly above the IPO price.
The primary market is witnessing renewed momentum, with the IPO pipeline gathering pace despite ongoing global uncertainty and geopolitical tensions.
However, Mohit Gulati, CIO and Managing Partner at ITI Growth Opportunities Fund, cautioned that the IPO market is showing signs of a real reopening, but this is still a more selective phase than a euphoric one. Investor appetite is clearly there for well-priced, quality businesses with credible earnings visibility, while the excesses of rewarding weak paper at any valuation appear to be behind us.
