Updater Services IPO Listed discount at -5%, dips further
Last Updated: 5th October 2023 - 10:34 am
Updater Services IPO had a forgettable listing on 04th October 2023, listing at a rather steep discount of -5.00%, and eventually closing lower than the listing price for the day. The closing price on 04th October 2023 was below the IPO issue price as well as marginally below the listing price of the day. For the day, the Nifty closed 93 points lower while the Sensex closed a full 286 points lower. Both the Nifty and the Sensex stayed under pressure through the day and this performance by Updater Services on the day of listing was appreciable in that it did not fall too sharply after listing. The Nifty had dipped below the psychological level of 19,500 for the day and that had a rub-off impact on the listing performance of Updater Services Ltd.
The stock had seen a very moderate subscription in the IPO. The subscription was 2.96X overall and QIB subscription was at 4.50X. In addition, the retail portion had got subscribed 1.45X in the IPO while the HNI / NII portion actually got undersubscribed with demand of just 0.89X or 89% of the allocated quota. Hence the listing was expected to be modest to weak for the day. Eventually, the weakness in the market only added to the weakness in the stock of Updater Services IPO post listing. Here is the Updater Services Ltd listing story on 04th October 2023.
Updater Services IPO subscription and pricing details
The IPO price was fixed at the upper end of the band at ₹300 which was anyways along expected lines considering the issue was subscribed and the anchor allotments had been done at the upper end of the price band at ₹300 per share. The price band for the IPO was ₹280 to ₹300 per share. On 04th October 2023, the stock of Updater Services Ltd listed on the NSE at a price of ₹285, a discount of -5.00% on the IPO issue price of ₹300 per share. Interestingly, on the BSE, the stock listed at ₹299.90, a marginal discount of just -0.03% on the IPO issue price of ₹300 per share. However, as we shall see later, the stock fell sharply in the BSE later during the day, so the net impact at the end of the day was almost the same.
How the stock of Updater Services IPO closed on both exchanges
On the NSE, Updater Services IPO closed on 04th October 2023 at a price of ₹283 per share. That is a first day closing discount of -5.67% on the issue price of ₹300 and a more subdued discount of -0.70% on the listing price of ₹285 per share. In fact, the closing price turned out to be just above the low price of the day and the stock traded for the entire trading day below the IPO issue price. On the BSE also, the stock closed at ₹283.85. That represents a first day closing discount of -5.38% on the IPO issue price and also a discount of -5.35% on the listing price on the BSE. On both the exchanges, the stock listed weak below the IPO issue price and also managed to close Day-1 falling further from the listing price. The fall was much sharper post listing on the BSE as compared to the NSE. In fact, the opening price and the closing price turned out to be very near to the low price of the day on the NSE. The high price of the day was also below the IPO issue price of Rs300. As we shall see later, the high on the NSE was below the listing price on the BSE.
