Of the 13 IPOs that got listed on the exchanges in the calendar year 2018, only 5 are trading above their listing price.

The impact of correction in the equity market is directly reflected in the performance of stocks that were listed on the exchanges in 2018. Considering the closing price on Monday, April 16, of the 13 IPOs that were listed on the major exchanges, 7 are trading below their listing day price and only 5 are trading above their debut price.  The value of one stock, ICICI Securities is almost unchanged.    

Defence PSU Mishra Dhatu, although has listed in the first week of April, has posted the best gains with the stock trading up by 53 per cent of its listed price. The other two stocks that have appreciated well are Karda Construction and HG Infra trading up by 36 per cent and 24 per cent, respectively.
