Rainbow Children's Medicare IPO was oversubscribed 12.43 times on the last day of the bidding
Shares of Rainbow Children's Medicare Limited made their stock market debut on Tuesday with the scrip listing at ₹ 510 apiece on the NSE, a discount of about 6% as compared to its IPO issue price of ₹ 542 per share. The stock fell further to ₹ 482 within minutes after listing. On the BSE, Rainbow Children's Medicare shares started trading at ₹ 506.
“The company’s muted listing can be attributed to volatile and negative market sentiments and a lack of investor interest in hospital businesses. The company has a specialized nature of business, an experienced management team, proven ability to attract, train and retain high-caliber medical professionals, but the hospital is a highly competitive business and normalization of profitability post covid makes it suitable only for aggressive investors for the long term. Those who applied for listing gains can maintain a stop loss of ₹ 500," said Santosh Meena, Head of Research, Swastika Investmart Ltd.
The three-day initial public offering (IPO) of Rainbow Children's Medicare Limited had opened for subscription on April 27 and conclude on April 29. The issue oversubscribed by 12.43 times on the last day of the bidding, driven by qualified institutional buyers (QIB).
