IPO Story 2009 : Retail Investors are loosers
This year (2009) there were around 19 IPOs (Initial Public Offer) came to raise money from public and they sold shares worth about Rs 20000 crore to the public shareholders. . For a great surprise public is the looser, measured in terms of change in the value of shares from the time of allotment in IPO to their current market prices. Promoters walked away with a lion’s share in this market during 2009.
Now most of the retail investors named this IPO term in theire own way, like ‘Initial Promoter Offer’, ‘Idiotic Pricing Offer’ and even ‘It’s Probably Overpriced.’ Shares of nearly two-third of the companies that came out with IPO this year are currently trading below their public offer prices, resulting into losses for those who purchased shares.
There is a common perception among retail investors that corporates in connivance with merchant bankers are overpricing the offers in their lust for big money.
