India's IPO Boom: Stories of Big Wins and Valuable Lessons
*CMP as of 19 November 2024
India's IPO market has been nothing but an exhilarating ride in the last year. Every new listing comes with both hope and speculation. Some have gone well beyond expectations, sending investors into jubilation, while others have debarked with strength but then settled for decent returns. Let us look at the highs and lows and see what valuable lessons the IPO market has given us of late.
Success Stories in IPOs
Behind every successful IPO lies a firm with a vision and a story that drives home to investors. Here are some IPOs that transitioned listing-day excitement into long-term success.
1. Indian Renewable Energy Development Agency (IREDA)
Imagine ₹10,000 turning into ₹50,000 in a matter of not much time. That is the magic that the investors have been faced with by IREDA. Listed on November 29, 2023, this green energy financing company saw its listing with an impressive 87.47% gain on day one. The story did not end here and was up 486.41% from its issue price today.
On the rise is IREDA, bringing to light India's very renewable energy dreams.
2. Motisons Jewellers
When Motisons Jewellers debuted in the market on December 26, 2023, it didn't just shine—it sparkled with an 83.96% listing day gain. Fast forward now, and this jewel in the stock market crown has climbed to no mean heights above its issue price at 408.18%.
But wait, here’s the real cherry on top: A recent 10-for-1 stock split made it more accessible for modest investors to own a little piece of this great success story. For anybody who actually enjoys wearing both jewelry and investing, Motisons feels like the ultimate mix of emotion and logic.
3. Doms Industries:
When Doms Industries got listed on December 20, 2023, it kick-started with a remarkable listing day gain of 68.46%. However, that's not the end story—today, the stock is up a spectacular 228.44% above the issue price with a market cap of ₹16,299 crore.
From classrooms to boardrooms, Doms shows how a trusted, everyday brand can deliver extraordinary wealth. It's really a good reminder that even the most unassuming companies can easily turn into gold if supported by strong fundamentals and consumer trust. For those who love a feel-good investing story, Doms is proof that small beginnings can lead to big rewards.
4. Premier Energies & Waaree Energies:
But if the solar energy boom has lit up the horizon for Premier Energies and Waaree Energies, then listing on September 3, 2024, with the same 83.59 per cent gain on debut is worth marking. Fast forward, and both are now up 118.43%.
The success of these companies underlines how renewable energy companies have a future. With India continuing to make a move from sunlight to solar power, these IPOs are more of a vote of confidence in a sustainable tomorrow. While the demand for these solar cells and panels increased manifold, these IPOs have been wealth creators for environmentally conscious investors.
To understand success by the book, the two renewable energy firms are indicative of the future—and that's how solar is gathering steam in India, and these IPOs are more than investments; they are the vote of confidence in a sustainable tomorrow.
5. Exicom Tele-Systems
The decade has two words-EVs. Exicom Tele-Systems is a company that listed on March 5, 2024, and debuted with a 58.91% gain with growth of 127.64% since listing.
Focused on EV charging solutions, Exicom is a true classic of how to ride on the of futuristic trends towards exponential growth.
IPOs That Flopped but Still Remain Promising
Not all IPOs can remain as winners for a long time. Some do well in the initial days, then go weak in steam. Even they have some learning to do.
