Navigating the Primary Market
The primary markets are experiencing massive activity, with several mainboard and SME (Small and Medium Enterprises) IPOs opening for subscription. Navigating these requires a clear framework. The IPO research desk at SP RESEARCHVIA PVT. LTD. compares the strategies.
Should retail investors focus on Mainboard or SME IPOs?
Mainboard IPOs offer higher liquidity and stable disclosures, while SME IPOs can offer higher listing gains but carry high minimum lot requirements and liquidity risks.
Evaluating Valuation Metrics
Avoid subscribing blindly based on GMP (Grey Market Premium). Always check the price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio relative to listed peers, and ensure the promoter holding remains strong post-issue.
