Premium listing for ROX Hi-Tech Ltd, plus upper circuit
ROX Hi-Tech IPO had a very strong listing on 16th November 2023, listing at a premium of 62.65%. After a strong opening, the stock closed the day at the 5% upper circuit over the listing price. For the day, the stock closed comfortably above the IPO issue price and the IPO listing price at the close of trading on 16th November 2023. What also favoured the performance of the stock was the market support with the Nifty and the Sensex gaining in a steady manner through the day. On 16th November 2023, the Nifty closed 90 points higher while the Sensex closed 307 points higher. In the last few days, the Nifty has been volatile but has managed to hold the 19,700 mark during the week and that is what matters to the market. Today, the Nifty closed above the 19,760 mark. It was even trading well above 19,800 during the day but could not sustain these gains. The strength in the Nifty and the Sensex is on the back of follow-up buying in Indian markets after the US inflation came in sharply lower at 3.2% earlier this week, although India trade data was slightly shaky.

The SME IPO of ROX Hi-Tech Ltd was priced at ₹83 per share, being the upper end of the book building price band. On 16th November 2023, the stock of ROX Hi-Tech Ltd listed on the NSE at a price of ₹135.00, a premium of 62.65% over the IPO issue price of ₹83 per share. However, despite a volatile day post listing on 16th November 2023, the stock of ROX Hi-Tech Ltd closed exactly at the upper circuit price of ₹141.75 per share. The stock had an upper circuit limit of ₹141.75 for the day and a lower circuit limit of ₹128.25 for the day. In the midst of the volatility in trading during the day, the stock hit the upper circuit but stayed put at the upper circuit price for the better part of the day. Forget about the lower circuit of the day, the opening price of the day turned out to be the low price of the day and the stock never really went below the opening price through the day. The closing price reflects a strong day of trading, because it closed at the upper circuit and never really dipped below the listing price, which also happened to be the low price of the day. Also, the upper circuit comes on top of a 62.65% premium listing of the stock, which is all the more appreciable, considering that the Nifty and the Sensex had their share of volatility on the day of listing of ROX Hi-Tech Ltd.
Being an SME IPO on the NSE, the stock of ROX Hi-Tech Ltd was subjected to 5% circuit filter on listing day and was also in the ST (trade to trade) segment. That means, only delivery trades are permitted on the stock. Like the upper circuit price, even the lower circuit price on listing day is calculated on the listing price and not on the IPO price. The opening price of the day was also the low price of the day, meaning the stock never really dipped below the listing price and spent most part of the day at the upper circuit, locked in. During the day, the stock hit the upper circuit but stayed well above the lower circuit but the close was exactly at the upper circuit price. In fact, the stock never dipped below the listing price through the day. On the NSE, the stock of ROX Hi-Tech Ltd has been admitted to trade in the ST category. The ST category is specifically for the SME Emerge segment of the NSE with compulsory trade to trade settlement. On such stocks, netting of positions is not permitted and every trade has to be settled by delivery only.

The high price of the day was exactly the upper circuit limit price of the stock while the stock low price of the day was the opening price or the listing price of the session. Between these two extreme prices, the stock was relatively more volatile in the first half and less volatile in the second half but eventually closed at the upper circuit price of the day. In fact, the stock can be said to have enjoyed a strong listing and largely supported by a 90 points rally in the Nifty and a 307 points rally in the Sensex.

That also led the stock to close with pending buy orders at the end of the trading session, although the price was hardly volatile during the day.

It has a total of 228.36 lakh shares as the issued capital of the company.
