According to market observers, Senco Gold IPO grey market premium (GMP) today is ₹130, which is ₹20 lower from its July 11 GMP of ₹150. However, the GMP today is still higher than the GMP of ₹120 on July 10.
The present grey market premium shows the listing of Senco Gold shares can be around 41% higher than the issue price.
What this GMP mean?
The Senco Gold IPO GMP today is ₹130. This means the shares of Senco Gold are trading higher by ₹130 than its issue price in the unlisted market.
Considering the present GMP of ₹130 and the issue price of ₹317, Senco Gold shares are estimated to be listed at ₹447 apiece on the exchanges, which is around 41% premium to the issue price.
Senco Gold listing date is likely to be July 14 and the shares will be listed on BSE and NSE.
However, market experts said that GMP is not an ideal indicator for assessing expecting listing premium from any IPO. Grey market is non-regulated and completely speculative market and one should stick to the basics and rely on the fundamentals of the company, they said.
So, only GMP should not be an ideal way of assessing about the listing premium.
