What This Means for Investors

The IPO has started with a relatively muted subscription on Day 1, although retail participation has been stronger than the institutional categories so far. With two bidding days remaining, subscription levels may change significantly as institutional and high-net-worth investor participation often increases closer to the closing date. Investors should also note that the current Grey Market Premium indicates only a modest expected listing gain and does not guarantee actual listing performance.
