Groww IPO Mania! Listing Day Nears - Get Ready for 3% Premium & Expert Tips!

Billionbrains Garage Ventures Ltd, operating the popular digital investment platform Groww, is scheduled to list its shares on November 12. The company's Initial Public Offering (IPO) was a significant success, raising Rs 6,632 crore and subscribing 17.60 times overall. Anchor investors contributed Rs 2,984 crore, and the price band was set between Rs 95 and Rs 100 per share.

Market observers report a grey market premium (GMP) of approximately 3%, translating to around Rs 3 per share, suggesting shares might list at a slight premium over the issue price. Narendra Solanki from Anand Rathi Shares and Stock Brokers anticipates a listing premium based on GMP trends and a FY25 P/E of 33.8 times. He advises investors to hold for long-term value or book partial profits. Prashanth Tapse from Mehta Equities suggests a potential 5-10% listing gain, calling Groww a proxy for India's expanding capital market. He recommends holding for allotted investors and considering entry post-listing.

Founded in 2017, Groww offers a digital platform for mutual funds, equities, derivatives, ETFs, IPOs, digital gold, and US stocks, with strong traction among retail investors. The listing of a prominent fintech platform like Groww is significant for the Indian stock market, reflecting investor confidence in the digital financial services sector and the broader capital market growth.
