So, we see that the IPOs have had mixed success on the bourses. Will the Zomato stock give the magical return of 100% on listing day to its investors? We will have to wait for a week. Even if it doesn’t it may still give handsome returns to long term investors as we have seen in the above examples.
If you have purchased the stock only for listing gains, then 100% returns would make you ecstatic, anything lower could leave some investors depressed, especially given the track record of IPOs in the pandemic year.
If you have a long term horizon, then listing day activities won’t concern you much.
