  1. Bhai apply to tab karoge jab ye issue aayego. I’m hearing Sheela Foam is also coming but it is clearly a difficult time for IPOs so bankers and promoters are thinking hard before bringing their offers.

  2. Approval of seven IPOs worth Rs 2,500 crore might lapse in the next three months if they don’t hit the market, data show. Timelines of other big-ticket IPOs gearing up to hit the market could also get impacted, said experts. Warburg Pincus-backed generic drug maker Laurus Labs (estimated issue amount of Rs 1,000 crore) and Sheela Foam (Rs 510 crore) reportedly aimed to hit the market with their offerings by November-end. IPOs worth Rs 24,500 crore have hit the market in 2016.

  3. Now no scope of confusion. Instead of gambling money on Sheela, I’ll invest in Laurus. Pharma has been better and rewarded investors. Moreover, it is one of the sectors which will gain from a weaker rupee.

    • Only a small % is assigned to employees by few companies. The discount given to the employees in not necessarily the true value of the share. The discount is handed to the employees to increase their engagement with the company and also showcase to retail investors the confidence that employees have on company’s future performance.

  4. A firm endorsement of Laurus labs future prospects & readiness by its own employees with their quota getting 98% subscription by end of Day-2 – the RIIs should take note & ramp up their bids tomorrow.

    The QIB sentiment is of course crystal clear with an unlikely 100% subscription by Day-2 itself

  5. I THINK TOMORROW THAT IS THE LAST DAY OF IPO WILL BE SUBSCRIBED TO 20 TIMES.A STRONG BUY WILL BE MADE BY QIB AFTER 1 PM.

  6. The real game changer will be NSE IPO. But don’t just apply in the IPO because the whole world will apply and only a few will get and that also just one lot. Keep an eye on IFCI, more gains next week.

  7. My dear fellow investors, I got allotment in two applications. Now my question is does it make sense to book profits on listing or hold it. If someone can update the latest GMP, that would be great too.

  8. *****Happy New Year*****

    May 2017 bring even more success and prosperity for IPO investors. We have a long list of upcoming IPOs and I’m personally waiting for IPO of BSE, NSE, CDSL, CL Educate and D Mart.
