Why is the ‘josh high’ for 5 IPOs opening next week?

After a dull period for the initial public offerings (IPOs) in the last few months, the josh is high as companies are now lining up for IPOs. At least 5 IPOs are opening for subscription in the coming week. The last IPO was that of Macrotech Developers in April 2021. Since April, India has been in a grip of a deadly second wave of Covid-19 wherein the peak number of daily new Covid cases topped more than 4 lakh on some days, but now it seems that there is a decline in the number of cases. The country has reported less than 1 lakh cases for four consecutive days..

What Is an Initial Public Offering (IPO)

An initial public offering (IPO) is the process of offering shares of the companies to the public in a new stock issuance. Public share issuance allows a company to raise capital from public investors. The company which offers its shares is known as the ‘issuer’.

Any company, irrespective of its type, business and the number of years from its time of establishment can go ahead and get itself listed in the exchange to go public.

Should you enter the IPO market

Making money in an IPO market is not as easy as it seems; investing in it is a high-risk high-return game. You need to first look at your investment horizon. What is the purpose of investment? What is your objective of entering into an IPO market?

Never invest in a stock or an IPO market if you do not have a clear understanding. Renowned investor Warren Buffett always says: “Invest within your sphere of competence.”
