  1. No fresh issue: Initial investors are leaving and dumping the shares at very high premium. P/E ratio: very high. SBI work culture: difficult to expect performance. More than 10 players in market. Do not expect any price gain on listing. Most likely, price will fall to below half the IPO price and stagnate after IPO noise settles.
    .

  2. Only substantial QIB and HNI subscription will guarantee some listing gain. Otherwise a clear avoid for Retail Investors particularly those who wish to flip the shares on the listing day.

        • A qualified institutional buyer (QIB) is a corporation that is deemed to be an accredited investor as defined in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) Rule 501 of Regulation D. A QIB owns and invests a minimum of $100 million in securities on a discretionary basis; the broker-dealer threshold is $10 million whereas Non Institutional Investors (NIIs) All applicants, other than QIBs or individuals applying for less than Rs. 2,00,000 are considered as NIIs.

  3. Now looking back it was not a bad IPO for investors who made big applications. I did not apply but 5% on say 1 lac or 2 lac isn’t bad!
