What this GMP mean

Market observers said that GMP is an unofficial indication about the possible listing gain from the IPO. As Aditya Borla AMC IPO GMP today is ₹70, this means grey market is expecting this public issue listing at around ₹782 ( ₹712 + ₹70) — around 10 per cent higher from its issue price of ₹695 to ₹715 per equity share. However, market observers warned that GMP should not be the criteria for IPO bidding. They said that it's financials of the company that matters most. They advised investors to go through the balance sheet of the company and then decide whether they should apply for the public issue or not.

Speaking on the fundamentals of Aditya Birla AMC; Abhay Doshi, Founder at UnlistedArena.com said, "The AMC arm of Aditya Birla group is amongst the top 4 AMCs in India by QAAUM (Quarterly Average Asset Under Management). As on June 30, 2021, it managed total AUM of ₹2936.42 billion. With the rise in financial literacy and awareness, we witnessed a huge growth in aggregate industry AUM in recent period. The composition of ABSL AMC has more weigh on debt funds, which have comparatively lesser margins as compared to equity schemes. But it looks like the company is tilting the focus on high-margin products."

Abhay Doshi further added, “At the upper band of ₹712, the issue looks priced in-line with its listed peers. On the basis of FY21 earnings, the issue is asking a PE multiple of 39, which seems moderate leaving a little room for short-term investors. The long term prospect of the company tends to be impressive owing to huge under-penetration in Capital Markets but at the same time, there are many alternatives present to play this theme."
