The company is looking to raise Rs.583 crore through public issue in an Offer for Sale of 52.94 lakh Equity Shares, Ahead of the IPO, the Nazara has already raised Rs. 261.37 crore from 43 anchor investors at Rs.1101 per equity share.
Rakesh Jhunjhunwala held 11.51% (32,94,310 shares) stake Nazara Technologies as of March 2020, according the company’s draft prospectus (DRHP). However, Jhunjhunwala is not selling any share through this issue.
The equity shares of Nazara Technologies IPO are proposed to be listed on both BSE and NSE.
The Nazara Technologies IPO issue will be sold in the price band of Rs. 1100-1101 per share and the minimum lot quantity is 13 shares and in multiples thereof translating to a minimum investment of Rs 14,300.
The latest Grey market premium price (GMP) for Nazara Technologies IPO’s were seen up by more than 78.35% and were trading around Rs.860 as of today, This means people are expecting it to open on listing day to be at least at Rs.1800 or more.
Having said that, I would like to add here that many people underestimated Stovekraft IPO before it’s launch, however the share price made a high of Rs.545 above the pre-open IPO price band of Rs.384.
Likewise for HFFC (Home first finance) IPO, the GMP before launch was at about Rs.650 however the stock got listed at Rs.540 (This was Recommended by Famous Business news Anchor? ) on the other hand for IRFC IPO many people recommended a BUY and GMP were also seen at quite high range but unfortunately it open at a discount price and is currently trading at Rs.25.40.
There are many such examples of IPO’s doing just opposite of Grey market premium price. GMP does not mean in anyway a recommendation for an IPO, the financials of a company and its future prospectus tells a lot.
Here is the thing no one can tell you whether the IPO will going to make a stellar debut or not, it is you who have to decide based on available information about the company.
Moreover the IPO’s now a days are very hot market every one wants to earn some quick money on listing day itself and there is nothing wrong about it.
Having said that, one must not forget to check the financials and do not fall for any recommendation from anyone, it is you hard earned money, you should decide whether to opt for the IPO or not.
You may watch various YouTube channels or read on different websites about recommendation for stocks and IPO, it is my humble suggestion and request please do not ever fall prey to it. Better than this is to invest in ETF’s?.
Therefore, whenever you are buying IPO make sure the money invested is not the one which you my need it urgently, always use extra money which you may not require in near future, Otherwise stay away completely.
