  1. IPO highly priced but stats looks impressive..nothing much % up for listing but has a potential to go up….. looking forward to sibscribe

  2. keeping in view of the valuation of the company, IPO is rightly priced and certainly it will list around RS.1750 as per my perception.

  3. Company has offered only 35% shares to the public / retail investor which means that financial institutions have shown great confidence in the company and will buy 65% of the offered quantity of IPO. Certainly positive….
    Issue will over subscribe.

  4. Specialty chemicals is not the kind of business where high double-digit growth rates are a norm. What it means is that the demand will continue to grow at low yet steady rates but companies will need to take active steps for protecting and growing margins. This is precisely the reason why listed specialty chemical stocks trade at lower multiples while Galaxy is offering shares at high multiples.

    No doubt, it is a good company, just sharing my two cents.

    • Good information! This is why I come on this website.

      @bullsinha I guess what it means for investors like us is that we should keep booking profits. Do you suggest we sell at listing?

  5. I’m still hopeful Galaxy lists at premium but things are bad, very bad after this LTCG introduction. Looks there is more downside in the markets.

  6. Friends, GMP has gone down serious on GAlxy in recent days and some guys I trust are telling that deals are happening below 100 too. Galaxy may still list good but think twice before applying in IPOs now.
