Retail investors and non-institutional investors segments were not fully subscribed however, qualified institutional buyers were fully subscribed 6.97 times.
Hyundai lists at a 1.4% discount.
What a roller coaster ride.For such a big ipo and so many negative sentiments, this looks like a good listing. We had expected -a 5% to 8% profit range, this falls in the middle.
Im holding as of now, will watch Price Action at 10 am and start… pic.twitter.com/mvR0lpzG4U
