An analysis on Paytm’s stock market performance
The Hindu
How did Paytm’s shares, after India’s biggest IPO openings to date, subsequently tank on the stock market?
Financial technologies platform and Paytm’s parent company One97 Communications recently came out with India’s largest initial public offer, an ₹18,300 crore share sale that included an offer for sale portion from existing shareholders. While the share sale did raise the intended amount, the subscription frenzy seen in other IPOs was noticeably missing here. And sure enough, the stock tanked 27% on Thursday when it debuted on the stock markets.
Enthusiasm for Paytm’s offer at ₹2,150 per share – valuing the company at about ₹1.5 lakh crore – was relatively less. The retail portion was subscribed 1.62 times. As of 12:31 p.m. on November 23, 2021, the share was trading at ₹1,463.95 compared with the issue price of ₹2,150.
According to BACL, the biophilic-inspired business park will offer smart workspaces within a vibrant public realm. The project’s most exceptional and breathtaking attribute lies in the Urban Forest, a lush oasis in the centre of the development. This green space will serve as a focal point, seamlessly blending indoor and outdoor spaces throughout the area. The upcoming metro station in Airport City will provide seamless connectivity to the business park from the northern side, ensuring convenient accessibility.
