It has been a busy October for markets as India Inc. raised over Rs 15,000 crore so far in the month bolstered by a sustained rally in the stock market that took the benchmark indices to record highs this past week.
The euphoria in the primary markets is unlikely to die down soon as long as equity markers are flushed with liquidity.
Three companies are scheduled to open their issue in the coming week starting from 30 October to 3 November which includes names like Mahindra Logistics, New India Assurance, and Khadim India.
This trend is likely to be maintained as the market is breaking its own high, premium valuation of the secondary market which may be attracting investors towards IPOs and as many companies are waiting for a nod from SEBI due to attractive pricing, suggest experts.
“This trend cannot be shattered unless the market falls by more than 10 percent disturbing the confidence of retail investors which are currently shifting their liquidity towards primary, secondary and MF,” Vinod Nair, Head of Research at Geojit Financial Services told Moneycontrol.
“This is owing to a change in investment style of public from physical to financial assets due to investor awareness and structural reform undertaken by the government towards cash hoarding,” he said.
Companies which have raised capital via IPO route in the month of October include names like Godrej Agrovet, MAS Financial Services, Indian Energy Exchange, General Insurance Corporation of India, and Reliance Nippon Life Asset Management.
So far in 2017, nearly 30 companies have collectively mopped up over Rs 40,000 crore through IPOs, surpassing the previous high recorded seven years ago, said a report.
Recently, we have seen three mega insurance offerings such as General Insurance Company of India which raised 11,372 crores, SBI Life Insurance Company raised 8,400 crores, and ICICI Lombard General Insurance Company raised Rs5,700 crore.
Another big boy, New India Insurance will hit D-Street on November 1 to raise up to Rs9,600 crores from primary markets.
