Robust listing, but fails to sustain gains

Vishnu Prakash R Punglia IPO had a very robust listing on 5-September-2023, listing at a smart premium of 66.67%, but then the stock, fell from the highs of the day. While the closing price on 05th September 2023 was below the listing price of the day, it was still well above the issue price of the IPO. In a sense the stock opened strong but just failed to sustain the rally and lost more than 12% from the listing price of the day.

What is more interesting is the fact that the strong listing performance by Vishnu Prakash R Punglia Ltd was assisted in early trades by a strong market. However, in the second half the markets also faced selling pressure and that also showed on the performance of the stock of Vishnu Prakash R Punglia Ltd as it closed more than 12% below the listing price of the day.

Despite the strong opening, the stock failed to sustain the momentum during the day and the opening price ended up being the high price of the day while the stock closed very near to the low price of the day, showing a lot of weakness in trading through the day. The stock had seen strong subscription in the IPO.

The subscription was 87.82X  overall and QIB subscription was at a healthy 171.69X. Hence the listing was expected to be extremely strong. However, while the listing was strong, the performance strength got dissipated during the day as the stock fell sharply from the listing price, losing more than 12% by close over the listing price. In a sense, the markets came under pressure as the Nifty made a strong start but closed with gains of just 46 points. That sell-off had an impact on the performance of the stock too. Here is the Vishnu Prakash R Punglia IPO listing story on 5-September-2023.

Vishnu Prakash R Punglia IPO subscription and pricing details

Vishnu Prakash R Punglia IPO price was fixed at the upper end of the band at ₹99 which was anyways along expected lines considering the extremely strong 87.82X overall subscription and the 171.69X QIB subscription in the IPO. In addition, the retail portion had got subscribed 32.01X in the IPO while the HNI / NII portion also got a healthy subscription of 111.03X. The price band for the IPO was ₹94 to ₹99. On 05th September 2023, the stock of Vishnu Prakash R Punglia Ltd listed on the NSE at a price of ₹165, a very strong premium of 66.67% over the IPO issue price of ₹99. On the BSE also, the stock listed at ₹163.30, a premium of just 64.95% over the IPO issue price of ₹99 per share.

How the stock of Vishnu Prakash R Punglia IPO closed on both exchanges

On the NSE, Vishnu Prakash R Punglia Ltd closed on 05th September 2023 at a price of ₹144.80. That is a first day closing premium of 46.26% on the issue price of ₹99 but a sharp discount of -12.24% on the listing price of ₹165. In fact, the listing price turned out to be the high price of the day and the stock traded for the entire trading day below the opening listing price and actually closed the day very near to the low price of the day.

On the BSE, the stock closed at ₹145.93. That represents a first day closing premium of 47.40% above the IPO issue price of ₹99 per share but a steep discount of -10.64% below the listing price on the BSE. On both the exchanges, the stock listed strongly above the IPO issue price but failed to sustain the opening gains and fell in double digits from the opening listing price. In fact, the opening price almost turned out to be the high price of the day on both the exchanges.

On the NSE, the opening price represented the high price of the day while on the BSE, the high price of the day was just marginally above the opening price of the day. Clearly, the strong performance of the markets also had its impact on the stock on 05th September 2023 allowing the stock to close the day well above the issue price of the IPO, albeit at a discount to the listing price of the day. In short, the late fall in the market allowed the stock to lose most of its morning gains. The low price of the day was very close to the closing price on both the exchanges.
