Frequently Asked Questions
What is IPO listing gain?
Listing gain is the difference between the IPO issue price and the price at which the stock opens for trading on listing day. If a stock was issued at Rs 500 and lists at Rs 650, the listing gain is 30%. Listing gains vary widely — some IPOs list at a premium, some at par, and some at a discount. Factors like subscription levels, market conditions, and company fundamentals all influence listing performance.
How is long-term IPO performance measured?
Long-term IPO performance compares the current market price to the original issue price. This gives you a true picture of how an IPO investment has fared over time. Some IPOs with modest listing gains go on to deliver excellent multi-year returns, while others that listed at a huge premium may have declined since. We show both listing day returns and current returns to give you the full picture.
Should I always sell on listing day for quick gains?
It depends on your strategy and the specific company. Selling on listing day locks in gains if the stock lists at a premium, but you might miss out on further upside if the company has strong growth prospects. Many successful long-term investments started as IPOs — the key is to evaluate whether the business deserves a place in your portfolio beyond the listing day pop.
