The strong listing of Ratnaveer Precision was in line with Street estimate as the stock was commanding a grey market premium (GMP) of ₹45 per share over its issue price, a day before its listing.
Ratnaveer Precision Engineering (RPEL), a manufacturer of stainless steel products with a diverse range of products and designs, raised ₹165 crore via IPO route, which opened for bidding between September 4-6. The IPO includes a fresh issue of 1.38 crore equity shares and offer for sale of 30.40 lakh shares by promoters.
The IPO, having a price band of ₹94-99 apiece, was subscribed 93.99 times, with portion reserved for qualified institutional buyers (QIBs) subscribing 133.05 times. The non-institutional investors' (NIIs) quota was booked 135.21 times, while segment for retail investors received 54 times bids.
On the other hand, the listing of Rishabh Instruments was below Street expectation as it was trading at a 15% premium over the issue price in the grey market, a day ahead of the market debut. The IPO was subscribed 31.65 times, which opened between August 30 and September 1. The issue was subscribed 31.29 times by high networth individuals (HNIs), 72.54 times by QIBs, and 8.44 times by retail investors.
Rishabh Instruments, a global energy efficiency solution company that caters to power, automotive, and industrial sectors, raised ₹490 crore via public offering. The offer comprises a fresh issue of equity shares worth ₹75 crore and an offer for sale worth ₹415 crore.
Anubhuti Mishra, Equity Research Analyst at Swastika Investmart, says, “Rishabh Instruments is a multinational company that offers energy efficiency solutions. It has a diverse product portfolio and vertically integrated operations. However, the company faces risks related to international exposure and any shortage of production inputs like semiconductors. The IPO valuation was also slightly high.”
“We recommend exiting the position after this listing. However, if any high-risk investors want to hold it, they should maintain a stop-loss at the issue price,” he says.
On listing of Ratnaveer Precision, he says, “The IPO was well-received by investors, with the issue being subscribed to 93.99 times. The company's strong fundamentals and good subscription levels are positive factors for this. Investors who participated in the IPO can consider booking profits, and those who want to hold may keep a stop-loss at around 116.”
