Nykaa IPO GMP

They said that Nykaa IPO grey market premium (GMP) was around 590 to 630 last week that further went up to the tune of 765 after the finalisation of Nykaa share allotment. They said that rising GMP of the public issue is a good sign and it reflects strong listing of Nykaa shares on its listing date.

What this Nykaa GMP means

Nykaa GMP today at 765 simply means that grey market is expecting share listing at around 1890 ( 1125 + 765), which is around 68 per cent higher from Nykaa IPO price band of 1085 to 1125. Market observers went on to add that generally GMP goes down after the announcement of share allotment but in the case of Nykaa IPO, GMP has gone further up by 35. They predicted strong listing premium for the lucky bidders provided the market sentiment continues to remain positive on the listing date as well.

Highlighting the fundamentals of Nykaa IPO; Saurabh Joshi, Research Analyst at Marwadi Shares and Finance Limited said, "Considering the TTM (Jun 2021) adjusted EPS (Earnings Per Share) of 2.54 on the post-issue basis, the company is going to list at a P/E of 443.46 with a market cap of 5,32,040 million. There are no listed companies in India whose business is comparable with that of the company’s business. The company is one of the leading lifestyle-focused consumer technology platforms and a preferred destination for luxury and prestige products in India for consumers and brands. However, valuations on an absolute basis based on past financials keep us cautious at the same time."
