Lamosaic India Listing Details
- Listing Time & Price: Lamosaic India share price began trading at 10:00 AM IST with an opening price of ₹164 on NSE SME, marking a disappointing start that reflected some investor caution. The significant discount to the issue price suggested initial market skepticism about the company's aggressive pricing.
- Comparison to Issue Price: The listing price represented an 18% discount to the IPO price, a notable deviation from recent SME listings. While Lamosaic had set its fixed price issue at ₹200 per share, the market initially valued it considerably lower, though this changed as trading progressed.
- Price Recovery: Demonstrating remarkable resilience, by 11:00:18 AM IST, the stock had recovered significantly to trade at ₹172.10, recouping much of its initial losses and now trading at just a 13.95% discount to the issue price.
Lamosaic India First-Day Trading Performance
- Price Movement: The stock showed strong recovery momentum after its weak opening, climbing from ₹164 to touch a high of ₹172.20. This price action suggests that while initial sentiment was cautious, buyers emerged at lower levels, finding value in the company's prospects.
- Market Valuation: Despite the discounted listing, the company commanded a market capitalization of ₹177.92 crore by 11:00:18 AM IST, reflecting the market's evolving assessment of its business potential in the growing decorative materials sector.
- Trading Activity: Healthy trading volumes of 13.52 lakh shares worth ₹22.49 crore, with 100% deliverable quantity, indicated genuine investor interest rather than speculative trading. The high delivery percentage suggests investors are taking longer-term positions.
