The Sensex and Nifty 50 both fell by 1 percent over the last week, while the BSE Midcap index fell by 0.2 percent and the BSE Smallcap index rose by 0.8 percent.

Market fatigue, policy fears hit IPO premiums

Deepak Jasani, head of retail research at HDFC Securities, cited market fatigue in explaining the slowing gains of freshly listed businesses. Reduced September results can be attributed to widespread selling in the mid and small cap segments. He continued, “As a result, the most costly public concerns are taking the hit.

Wright Research founder and small case manager Sonam Srivastava, on the other hand, ascribed this slowdown to investors losing faith due to concerns over a tightening of policies in other countries. Like many others, she thinks that the market is overvaluing some companies and undervaluing others.

Over ten companies had their stock market debut in September, and statistics showed that both Jupiter Life Hospitals and Vishnu Prakash R Punglia saw 46 percent rises on their listing days compared to their issue price. Graphed Below:

Meanwhile, roughly six mainboard businesses debuted on the markets in August. On the day of its offering, SBFC Finance saw the greatest increase from its issue price (see chart), totaling 61%. Then there was Concord Biotech (up 27 percent) and Aeroflex Industries (up 51 percent).

Listing prospects of upcoming IPOs

Analysts have speculated that the success of new listings in the short-term will be determined by market sentiment, the quality of IPOs, and pricing dynamics.

Listing gains may be affected by the state of the market as a whole. Srivastava of Wright Research speculated that “high quality IPOs with robust business models and attractive pricing might fare better.”

Initially, four initial public offerings (IPOs) scheduled for the mainboard would be listed in October. These firms are JSW Infrastructure, Updater Service, Valiant Laboratories, and Plaza Wires. In addition, there are over ten initial public offerings (IPOs) from small and medium-sized businesses waiting to be listed.

in September 29, ipowatch.in reported that JSW Infra and Plaza Wires traded at a 19% premium in the grey markets, while Valiant Lab traded at an 11% premium. The demand for Updater Service, however, has not been observed in the unlisted marketplaces.

SME IPO listings fare better in September v/s mainboard

Data indicated that in September, small and medium sized enterprise IPOs saw an increase in average listing day gains, from 52 percent in August to 63 percent in September.

Basilic Fly Studio, a provider of visual effects solutions, saw the most success on its listing date in September, while Sungarner Energies, a renewable energy provider, topped the charts in August. On the day they were publicly traded, both stocks rose by more than 200 percent. (Check out the table for August’s top five listing-day gainers.

Independent market expert Ambareesh Baliga attributed the stronger performance of SME IPO filings compared to the mainboard in September to investors’ desire to make a quick buck. “Investors have flocked to these SME IPOs in order to mint the easy-and-quick money opportunity—the common mindset to apply and book profits on listing,” he said.

This ‘dus ka bees’ (transform 10 into 20) horde wants to double their money quickly, therefore the market regulator Sebi recently unveiled new investor protection measures covering SMEs to appeal to them. Not only that, but it also made the ASM and T2T requirements, which had previously only applied to mainboard stocks, applicable to the SME market as well.

Analysts have warned that some investors may be hesitant as a result of this rule because of concerns about trading limits, despite the fact that it ensures more stringent checks and balances on the SME segment.

However, Srivastava of Wright Research argued that, in the long run, discerning investors would welcome this change because it would represent a step toward a more open and secure market.

Investment rationale for new listings

From an investment perspective, HDFC Securities’ Jasani advised examining each public issuance separately, without placing too much weight on the grey market premium or the excitement surrounding recently listed IPOs.

In the meanwhile, Srivastava suggested spreading investing risk by purchasing shares in various IPOs.

GIFT Nifty

After Nifty ended August 8 down 26 points at 19,570, the GIFT Nifty showed a flat to slightly positive start for the broader market with a gain of 24 points. The futures price of the GIFT Nifty was 19,577.

US Markets

US stock futures were relatively unchanged Tuesday night, even after a selloff in the main averages. Futures for the Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped 27 points, or 0.08 percent. The futures for the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq 100 both fell by 0.06 percent.

Penn Entertainment gained 12% in after-hours trading after the casino announced it would establish an online sportsbook with ESPN this autumn. The service will be branded ESPN Bet. Tuesday’s trading day was a loss for the major indices, and investors are reeling. The Dow Jones Industrial Average ended the day down 158.64 points (or 0.45%). That’s still an improvement over the Dow’s session lows, when it was down around 465 points.

The S&P 500 was down 0.42 percent, and the Nasdaq Composite was down 0.79 percent at the same time. Tuesday’s selloff follows Tuesday’s Moody’s downgrading of numerous regional banks, which lowered investor morale. Despite the remarkable advance in equities this year, several market participants were worried that the signal could herald more turmoil for markets in the future.

European Markets

On Tuesday, European markets fell as investors responded to Italy’s unexpected banking tax proposal and prepared for important inflation data anticipated later this week.

The pan-European Stoxx 600 index closed down 0.2%, with banking registering the largest percentage loss (-2.7%) among the broader sector declines (-0.2%). Contrary to the market, healthcare shares rose by 3.2%. The banking sector in Italy was struck hard by the government’s unexpected announcement of a windfall tax of 40% on banking earnings. A successful drug trial result from Danish pharmaceutical company Novo Nordisk sparked the optimistic session in health care.

As investors took profits near the end of earnings season and risk sentiment came to focus, the European blue-chip index ended Monday’s session up 0.1 percent, seemingly entering suspended animation following last week’s global drop.

On Wednesday, China is expected to disclose its consumer price index, and on Thursday, the United States will do the same. Analysts predict that China’s CPI will show disinflation of 0.5 percent year over year, which will reduce global price pressures but may indicate that additional fiscal stimulus is needed from Beijing. The FTSE ended the day down 0.36 percent at 7,527 points, while the DAX finished down 1.10 percent at 15,774 points.

Asian Markets

The consumer price index is expected to enter deflationary territory for the first time since February 2021, and investors in the Asia-Pacific region were cautious ahead of China’s inflation numbers for July.

Reuters’ survey of economists forecasts a 0.4% annual drop in China’s inflation rate. There will also be a drop of 4.1% in the country’s producer price index, which gauges the change in selling prices received by domestic producers for their output. The Hang Seng index futures were trading at 19,084, indicating a higher opening for the HSI than its previous closing value of 19,184.17.

The Nikkei 225 index in Japan dropped 0.24 percent and the Topix index dropped 0.3 percent in early morning trading. South Korea, on the other hand, saw gains of 0.88 percent on the Kospi and 1 percent on the Kosdaq. The S&P/ASX 200 in Australia was trading near its flat line.

Moody’s reduced the credit rating of several regional banks, citing deposit risk, a probable recession, and faltering commercial real estate portfolios, which caused a selloff across all three main US indexes overnight. There was a decrease of 0.45% for the Dow Jones Industrial Average, a drop of 0.425% for the S&P 500, and a decrease of 0.799% for the Nasdaq Composite.

Coal India Q1 results: Net profit declines 10% to Rs 7,941 crore, beats estimate

Coal India Limited (CIL), a state-owned company, announced a consolidated net profit of Rs 7,941.4 crore for the quarter ended June on August 8, down 10% from the same period last year.

However, Q1FY24 net profit was more than expected. The consensus expectation among analysts at the three major brokerage houses was for a net profit of Rs 6,125 crore. The largest coal miner in the world reported earnings of Rs 35,943.21 crore, an increase of 2.5% from the previous quarter’s earnings of Rs 35,092.17 crore.

EIH Q1 Results: PAT up 61% YoY at Rs 106 cr, consolidated revenue stands at Rs 522 cr

The Oberoi Group’s main company, the hospitality chain EIH Limited, reported a 26.7 percent YoY increase in consolidated revenue to Rs 522.6 crore for the June quarter of the financial year 2024. In the first quarter of FY24, the hotel chain reported a profit after tax (PAT) of Rs 106 crore, an increase of 61% year over year.

“We are ecstatic with the exceptional financial success in Q1 FY24. Vikram Oberoi, CEO and MD, EIH, claimed that the rapid increase in sales and profits was a direct result of the hard work of his company’s employees and the continued confidence of the hotel’s regular visitors. In terms of EBITDA (profit before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortisation), the company reported Rs 180 crore, a year-over-year increase of 53.1%.

Oil Prices

On Tuesday, oil prices dipped after fresh data revealed a steeper-than-anticipated drop in crude imports and exports from the world’s largest oil importer in July.

In the futures market, a barrel of Brent crude was selling for $84.93, down 48 cents, or 0.41 percent. The price of a barrel of West Texas Intermediate crude in the United States fell by 50 cents, or 0.62%, to $81.43. Earlier in the session, the price of both contracts dropped by $2. China’s daily oil imports in July were the lowest they’ve been since January, albeit they were still up 17% from the same time a year ago.

In July, China’s imports fell 12.4%, which was far more than the predicted reduction of 5%. In contrast to the predicted drop of 12.5%, exports decreased by 14.5%. Fuel usage in India dropped to a 10-month low in July, official statistics indicated on Tuesday, as monsoon rains limited people’s ability to get around. When it comes to oil consumption and imports, India ranks third. Some analysts were optimistic about China’s fuel demand for the period of August to early October despite the dismal numbers.

Gold hit its lowest point since July 11 at $1,925.69 per ounce, down 0.55 percent. US gold futures dropped 0.5% to $1,960.10.
