Basic IPO FAQs

Which IPO will give positive response if I have to invest for a short period?

Investors subscribe to an IPO in order to gain listing gains by buying it on its first day. However, good company shares usually list at a higher price than their subscription price. This is not always true. Listing gain is the difference between these two prices. It is hard to find IPOs that will bring positive returns on the day of their listing. A company's listing day performance depends on many factors, including perception about it, past performance, demand during application time and listing day and reputation of promoters. Many companies have failed to list or listed on time, but many others have grown over the years. It is better to do your research, choose the right company and invest in the long-term.
