Pyramid Technoplast IPO GMP (Grey Market Premium)

In the above case, the GMP trend shows that the grey market premium has opened at around ₹19 per share, and up by ₹22. Of course, we have to await for the actual subscription numbers to flow in when the issue opens for subscription on 18th August 2023, as that would have a very significant impact on the GMP. In the past, stocks which got oversubscribed in the IPO also saw a very robust positive shift in the grey market pricing. For a start, Pyramid Technoplast Ltd has shown good traction in the grey market.

If you consider the upper end of the price band of Pyramid Technoplast Ltd at ₹166 as the indicative price, then the likely listing price is being signalled at around ₹185 per share as of the GMP indicator on 10th August 2023. One data point to track will be the subscription update on the stock as that would chart the GMP course from here. As mentioned, the institutional QIB subscription is a key trigger for the GMP pricing.

The GMP of ₹19 on a likely upper band pricing of ₹166 indicates a listing premium of a healthy 11.45% for Pyramid Technoplast Ltd over the listing price. That pre-supposes a listing price of approximately ₹185 per share, when Pyramid Technoplast Ltd lists on 30th August 2023. Of course, these are approximations, so you must keep a margin of safety. However, that would depend on the GMP sustaining over the next few days after the issue opens.

GMP (grey market price) is an important indicator, albeit informal, of likely listing price. One cannot take this price at face value However, the GMP tends to be quite dynamic and changes direction with the flow of news and events. Investors must note here that this is just an informal indication and has no official acceptance. The best thing one can do with the GMP is to observe the trend closely as that gives the best hints on listing status. Focus on the time series trend than on numbers.
