What is IPO Subscription?

IPO Subscription is the number of times a public issue subscribed at BSE and NSE. The investors can place the bid for IPO shares with any of the exchange (i.e. BSE or NSE). Each exchange provides live IPO subscription status on its website for the bids received by them. At Chanakya, We publish IPO live subscription for the current IPO. We also provide the final bidding detail as of the last day of subscription for all the IPOs.

A privately held company raises fund and get listed at stock exchanges by offering its shares through Initial Public Offer IPO. Company going public receives bids from investors for shares offered through IPO. In most cases, the IPO receives the bid for more than the number of shares on offer. This means the IPO is over-subscribed.

How IPO Subscription live bidding Data is useful to the Investor?

It shows the demand of the shares. Higher demand usually results in better listing gains.

Can ipo subscription status live affect listing price?

Yes. As we know IPO subscription live bidding data is reflection of demand of the shares. Higher the subscription, higher is the demand for an IPO-share. So, the investors are expected to pay higher price a particular share when the demand is high.
Moreover, higher the demand and more oversubscription, the chances of allotment will get reduced. Lower allotment ratio will increase interest cost for the funds for high NetWorth investors. Since there cost of funds goes up, they will expect higher price for the shares allotted to them. So, subscription data affects the listing price.

Can IPO subscription affect Grey Market Premium?

Yes, IPO Subscription can affect Grey Market premium. As we know the IPO subscription is reflection of demand of the IPO-shares. Higher the subscription, higher is the demand of the shares offered in an IPO. High oversubscription will reduce chances of allotment.  So, if a person applied shares of a company WIN with Rs. 1 Cr application and his interest cost is Rs. 15000 and expectation of allotment of 200 shares. So, he anticipated interest cost of Rs. 75 per share. However, the case of higher oversubscription, if he gets only 100 shares, then his interest cost moves up to Rs 150.
Grey Market premium is based on estimate of listing profits, interest cost etc. So, if the interest cost to allottees goes up, then it will affect the grey market premium.

Should I study ipo subscription status live?

No, a normal investor need not study live subscription data. It is waste of time sitting across the screen and studying the live subscription data. If you wish to fix your application size depending on the number of times the IPO is subscribed, even then one should study the subscription figures of last day, around 1 to 2.30 and then decide about your application amount.
If you are active IPO-investor, then you should study subscription status at the interval of one/two hours or at the end of the day.
