The stock opened at Rs 530 on the BSE and the opening tick on the NSE was Rs 512.2, against issue price of Rs 197 per share, changing the mood at Dalal Street that was spoiled by the disappointing listing of Paytm, the leading digital payments platform.
Market observers had expected the listing premium of more than 150% over the issue price, while the grey market premium was around 180%. Reasonable valuations, healthy financials, strong growth prospects and good relationship with blue chip companies supported the stock price.
The initial public offering of Latent View had seen overwhelming response from investors, subscribing 326.5 times during 10-12 November 2021.
The company, which provides services to blue-chip companies in technology, BFSI, CPG & retail, industrials, and other industry domains, raised Rs 6 bn through its initial public offering (IPO).
