Very high marketing price
Does this ipo looks positive ?
IPO highly priced but stats looks impressive..nothing much % up for listing but has a potential to go up….. looking forward to sibscribe
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.
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.
GMP 450/
Ye apply karne layak hai k nahi ?
Go for it, good company. You will make profits if you alloted shares
Are you Surat na.
Thanks bhai
Surat = Sure
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.
Great insights as always from you but I feel this company is going to rock! Good tailwinds it has…
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?
Must apply 4000/ profit sure
GMP 450 so it should list at 1900+. I think 2000+ is also possible on listing day!!
This website is very useful and thanks for all updated valuable information about all IPO……. thanks a lot
This website is very useful and provide us valuable information about all IPO timely and thanks a lot for this.
What does the sharp correction in markets mean f or Galaxy IPO? Still profitable listing??
what is GMP of galaxy
Rs. 100+
Just 90
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.
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.
I hope I don’t get allotment in this.
Don’t worry guys. We will have a gap up opening tomorrow and FIIs will come back in droves
LTCG Only on net profit above 1lac
When will be allotment?
TOMORROW 12 HRS
Any effect of LTCG and budget 2018 on Galaxy IPO.
I think no chance of any effect
Band baj gayi hai markets ki, Galaxy kya cheez hai. SGX, Dow, NASDAQ sab 3-4% down
Pray that one dont get allotment in galaxy
This downside will definitely affect listing of galaxy surfactants
Allotment is out, Thank god I was not allotted any.
ALLOTMENT IS OUT
WHAT IS BASIS OF ALLOTMENY?
