What drove the IPO performance?

IRCTC was the clear leader with 512% returns as investors saw in the stock a combination of consumption play, monopoly profits, hefty OPMs and a solid internet play. After all, Flipkart was valued at $16 billion when it was sold to Wal-Mart. Even at the current valuations, IRCTC has a market value of just $4 billion despite having 18 million transactions per month and millions of customer touch-points on a daily basis.

Among the other IPOs gaining more than 100% since listing, Indiamart and Affle were again internet plays. Metropolis operated in the low risk / high margin segment of healthcare while investors are increasingly looking at Polycab as the next potential Havells in the electrical goods segment.

The two disappointments were Sterling & Wilson Solar and CSB. Sterling & Wilson was understandable as it belongs to the Shapoorji Pallonji group, which is currently in the midst of a cash crunch. The bigger disappointment was Catholic & Syrian Bank, which has fallen sharply after a very encouraging listing debut.

In a nutshell, the story of IPOs in 2019 was the story of few quality IPOs dominating the year.
