What is IPO?
Initial Public Offering, when a Company goes Public first time. Also called Primary Market.
Types of IPO?
1.Main Board: Safer IPO…Big Companies…1 lot maximum price 15K
2.SME: High risk…small companies…u may get Upper circuit as well as Lower circuit very often. Lot size minimum 1 lakh. (New comer stay away…bcoz good one less chance of allotment…bad one easily allotted)
Underlying portion of IPO:
1.Fresh Issues: New shares added, no body is exiting out of Company.
2.OFS: Offer for sale by PE (Private Equity), often Known as Smart/ Big money. Somebody is exiting out of Company.
3. Both partly Fresh Issue and partly OFS: Mixture of both.
Directly I will come to main Agenda…which one to apply and why? (Rest easily available in Google Baba)
For Listing Gains
- NIfty 50 doing well, means Market sentiment are good.
- See subscription in last day, if subscribed more than 5 times…go for it. But always make sure HNI subscribe it heavily…as they are the one who buy aggressively…so higher their subscription higher chances of listing Gain…(Ex. Salasar Techno…)
3.Exit on first day itself…or book partial profit…Highest return from IPO came when you exit at first day.
For Long Term
- See the sector growth…see the company Growth…see Management…see government policy…social impact…
- Compare PE of Company with peers…if it is available cheaper…go for it
- Dont care too much for subscription…QIB is important…they invest for long term…if QIB is more than 1.5 times its a safer bet.
- Dont get panic if it come below allotted prices…But rather see quarterly reports…Observe Top line and Bottom line along with Debt to Equity ratio…(in short do fundamental analysis every quarter…if feel good buy more else EXIT)
How to maximize chances of Allotment? (Million Dollar question in IPO)
- Apply one lot at cut off or Cap price (highest).
Why one lot… for allotment lot wise figures are combined and then allotted in proportion.
See “basis of allotment” of any IPO…you will understand…people applying with 20 lakh capital gets
nothing and someone with 15 k get one lot. - Open demat account in name of your spouse…mother…father…Apply one lot from each…high chances
u will get one lot in each ipo from any one of them. - Link your FD in saving account (Many banks has this facility) so that u continue to earn high interest
from FD…when allotted then only then it is broken… - Dont get dishearten if if u r not allotted…keep applying…One Day U Will Get It.…people get on an average 1 IPO if they apply 4 IPO. (Number may vary…no discussion on this number)
