The stock closed above the IPO listing price and also the issue price on the first day of listing. Being an NSE SME IPO, it is only traded on the SME segment of NSE. Zeal Global Services Ltd opened 42.72% higher and the opening price turned out to be very near to the low price for the day. The strength is rather surprising because the subscription was extremely moderate for the company in the IPO. For instance, the subscription level was 3.85X for the retail portion and 4.26X for the HNI / NII portion; resulting in an overall oversubscription of a very moderate 4.06X for the IPO issue as a whole. For such a tepid response, the performance on the day of listing was truly phenomenal. Despite the rather moderate subscription numbers, for the retail and the HNI / NII investors, the stock managed to list at a huge premium on a day when the market sentiments were also fortunately positive. More importantly, it managed to close with substantial gains and even above the listing price.
