Investors Eye IPOs in October; Dalal Street High On October IPO Fever.
Wall Street (United States) may be stressed, but the market buzz in our very own Dalal Street is poised to get much hotter. Despite volatility in the markets and investors running for cover and hedging their bets on FMCG and Pharma stocks, the IPO (Initial public offer) market is all set to see newer bets from a wide variety of industries in different sectors.
As per news reports, Dalal Street is on the verge of seeing a flurry of events as Rs. 12000 crore IPOs are all set to make their mark in the markets in the coming few months.
Hence, the primary market, with several companies on the verge of releasing their IPOs, is set for high expectations.
A few IPOs that launched in May this year struggled to get the desired response; the newer lot is hoping for a much better response in the market.
Why the run for IPOs?
For investors, IPOs are attractive to purchase, and since the investors understand their potential, IPOs are great if one is looking to put money in the stock markets.
IPO investments balance one’s financial portfolio – since they take care of both short-term and long-term gains, hence one can select the right IPO of a growing company and make rich profits from the same.
The appeal for IPOs to most investors is because of the common belief that the share price listed during IPOs is on the lower side, and hence if the company has the potential for growth, then with a long-term investment horizon, good returns can be expected from such investments.
Investors are of the opinion that when a company comes out with its IPO, then there is a definite increase in the share price of that company; hence this is one of the main reasons why investors choose to be excited about investing in IPOs.
IPO’s appeal to Investors
Let us look at some critical parameters of why an IPO makes a good investment.
- Investors can bid for a particular amount of shares they would like based on how much they want to put their monies.
- Once IPO shares are allotted, investors then become shareholders of that company.
According to the monies put in by a person in IPOs, investors have the right to get dividends and bonus stocks of the company when the company gives the same out in the future. - Equity from IPOs, as per data, has generated bigger returns vis vie other asset classes.
- IPO application is a process that is easy, and it is possible to apply online with a broker that has an online platform.
- Among IPO benefits are the perk of allotment of shares from a reputed company that has the potential for growth in the future.
- IPO stock prices are kept on the lower side in the beginning, and this is so because the price of the stock is expected to increase after all allotment is completed. In this way, investors can put funds into a reputed company’s IPO and see great returns in the long term.
- If you are an investor who wishes to diversify your portfolio, IPO investment is a safe way to allocate your funds in a variegated way.
- An investor investing in an IPO enjoys the benefit of allotment of shares of a reputed company with an upward growth trajectory.
