Arunaya Organics IPO Listing: Upper Circuit While Listing Arunaya Organics Investors Continue to Lose 45%
Update on Arunaya Organics IPO Listing:
A company that specializes in the manufacture of chemicals, Arunaya Organics, debuted on the NSE SME platform today but split at a 50% discount to its IPO price. This is shocking considering that the company was expected to trade at around ₹58 based on the oversubscription, which was reported at 2.5x.
The IPO was ill-timed given the geopolitical headwinds with India launching ‘Operation Sindoor’ post the Pahalgam terror attacks and hitting suspected terror bases in Pakistan. Despite the context, the IPO garnered a decent amount of interest. Regardless of these sentiments, Arunaya Organics’ IPO was reportedly oversubscribed by more than 2.5 times which meant that the IPO price of ₹58/share was apparently a good deal in the eyes of many retail participants.
Performance After Listing:
As has become customary with these IPOs, the stock opened today at ₹30.10 which marks a 50% haircut day one for most investors. Post a listing celebration the stock bounced and went limit up to 31.60. Despite this, investors who purchased shares at IPO price now face a loss of 45.52%.
