More IPOs Could Hit the Market Soon

 

The IPO activity is unlikely to slow down after next week's five issues.

 

Companies including Blackstone-backed Horizon Industrial Parks, a Gaja Capital-backed company and Shankesh Jewellers could potentially announce their IPO price bands in the coming days, according to the details cited in the report.

 

This suggests that India's primary market could remain active in the weeks ahead, giving investors a broad range of new issues to evaluate.

 

Upcoming IPOs: What Investors Should Check

 

With several IPOs opening within just three days, investors should avoid making decisions solely on the size or popularity of an issue.

 

Before applying, investors should review:

 

IPO price band and valuation

Fresh issue versus OFS component

Company's revenue and profit growth

Debt levels and cash flows

Promoter and institutional holdings

IPO proceeds and their intended use

Peer-company valuations

Risks highlighted in the offer documents

 

Investors should also remember that an IPO investment carries market risk, and listing gains are not guaranteed.

 

Upcoming IPOs Next Week: Key Takeaways

 

The upcoming week is shaping up to be one of the busiest periods for India's primary market, with five IPOs collectively targeting around ₹7,443 crore.

 

Dhoot Transmission has the largest issue among the companies discussed, followed by Shiprocket and Milky Mist Dairy Foods. Molbio Diagnostics will also be in focus because of institutional participation and its healthcare-technology business.

 

With the IPO pipeline remaining strong, investors will be watching subscription numbers, valuations and institutional demand closely as the issues open.
