Blockbuster IPOs, lacklustre returns: 7 of 11 trade below issue price

Seven of the eleven recent big IPOs are now trading below their issue price, so many investors who bought in are sitting on losses. Analysts say the main worry is how these issues were priced. An IPO, or initial public offering, is when a company first sells shares to the public. If you plan to apply for one, check the pricing carefully before you commit.

Key Statutory Highlights

  • Seven out of eleven recent mega IPOs are trading below their issue price.
  • G Chokkalingam, founder and head of research at Equinomics Research, says the key concern for investors in mega issues is how the issue is priced.
  • The concern is aimed at investors who put money into these large public offerings.
Actionable Advice for Taxpayers / Founders:Before applying for any large IPO, read how the issue is priced and compare it with similar listed companies. Do not treat a big name or heavy hype as proof of listing gains, since pricing can still leave you with a loss.
