Listing gains

Listing gains are the price difference between an IPO issue price and the price at which the stock lists.

Positive listing gains mean the stock opens or trades above the issue price on listing day.

Subscription levels, anchor demand, and market mood influence listing outcomes.

Gains or losses on listing day are realised only if shares are sold in the market.

Circuit limits on listing day can constrain how far the price moves in one session.
