All eyes on listings at 10 am

Here are answers to a few frequently asked questions about IPO listings:
What is an IPO listing?
An IPO listing is the process where shares of a company that has just completed its IPO are officially admitted to trade on a stock exchange.
Once listed, investors who were allotted shares as well as new investors can deal in these securities just like any listed entity on Dalal Street.
How is the listing price of an IPO decided?
The listing price is influenced by factors such as IPO price band, overall IPO demand, market conditions and investor sentiment. However, there is no guarantee that an oversubscribed IPO will make a strong debut, and vice versa. At the end of the day, markets are unpredictable, and so are IPO listings.
What does IPO subscription mean?
IPO subscription refers to the number of times the shares offered in the IPO were bid for by investors.
For instance, a 60x subscription means demand was 60 times higher than the shares on offer.
Can allottees sell IPO shares on listing day?
Investors allotted shares in an IPO can sell them as soon as the stock starts trading on the listing day.
