IPO Rush: Banks fasten seat belts and bet big to earn big
Banks have set internal parameters before investing in IPOs that hold huge potential for windfall gains at a time when the bond market is not really offering any upside.
Synopsis
Banks are said to have substantially subscribed to recent issues such as Tatva Chintan Pharma, G R Infraprojects, Clean Science & Technology, Shyam Metalics, and Laxmi Organics. The qualified institutional buyers' portions in all these IPOs were subscribed between 150 times and 180 times. With a strong IPO pipeline, bank treasuries are expected to raise their stakes in equities.
