If anyone’s financial dreams are coming true in the current market, it is definitely the small and medium enterprises (SMEs), whose public offers are getting baffling investor interest.
Nearly 46% of all SME IPOs in the last year have been subscribed over 100 times! About Rs 6,000 crore was raised in FY24 alone–43% of the total fundraise by SME IPOs since 2012!
Despite exchanges tightening norms & even capping SME IPO listing gains at 90%, the lure of outsized gains seems unstoppable. One can tell by looking at some of the strangest SME businesses that received gigantic investor interest. Swipe and see:
This IPO recently created an uproar on social media for getting a subscription of 400 times! What left the internet stunned was its operations. With just 2 Yamaha showrooms and 8 employees, the company got bids of Rs 4,800 crore against its issue size of Rs 12 crore!
This hospital is second on our list, which primarily offers cardiology-related procedures and treatment. Its Rs 4 crore IPO got bids worth Rs 604 crore! What’s astonishing is that the hospital has only 2 branches and just 40 beds!
This is the most subscribed IPO of all time! The SME produces flour, spices, and grains among other food products. Its IPO, floated a few months ago, was subscribed 1,834 times, getting bids of Rs 10,167 crore for an issue worth Rs 5.5 crore!
