The investors said that the company’s SME IPO is crazy, where two Yamaha dealership showrooms with just eight employees are sparking a frenzy despite an initial asking price of Rs 12 crore as the bids have skyrocketed to approximately Rs 2700 crore. This is particularly astonishing given the company’s modest market capitalisation of Rs 31 crore (based on IPO price) and net worth of merely Rs 1.5 crore, questioning the true terminal value of this tiny business, comprising just two showrooms with just 8 employees.
Resourceful Automobile SME IPO is crazy
2 Yamaha dealership showrooms, 8 employees.
Asking ₹12 Cr, got ~₹2700 Cr in bids.
Market cap ~₹31 Cr (at IPO price) on a net worth of ~₹1.5 Cr.Yet 227x subscribed could hit 300x by day’s end.
Is no one asking what the terminal…

The shares are affirming a premium of up to 70 per cent in the unlisted market, although the high GMP is triggering caution among the traders who raise concerns over social media platforms. A user said that the current GMP above 70% per cent with a handful of employees selling two-wheelers in 2 showrooms looks fabricated as he is astounded by that whopping percentage. This high liquidity and oversubscription have confused market observers as they are unsure about the responses that the outcome is based on mere speculations that they noted the contradictions between the noted the dissonance between the company’s recent performance and the current market interest.
