IREDA IPO: GMP, what are the subscription status signals? Allotment Date, How to Check Status

The Indian Renewable Energy Development Authority (IREDA) IPO concluded its subscription period on Thursday, receiving robust interest from investors. The overall subscription status stood at 38.80 times, with the retail portion being subscribed 7.73 times. The tentative allotment date for the IREDA IPO is expected to be November 28, 2023, with the likely listing date set for November 29, 2023.

In the gray market, which operates as an informal trading platform, the premium for IREDA Ltd shares has risen to ₹13, reflecting the heightened interest in the public offering. Market observers noted a significant increase in the gray market premium (GMP) from ₹7 to ₹13 over the past week, underscoring the buzz surrounding the IREDA IPO in the primary market. Despite recent market fluctuations, the gray market has remained bullish, and analysts anticipate further upside if there is a reversal in the market trend when the Indian stock market reopens on Tuesday after the Monday holiday.

While the GMP serves as an indicator of market sentiment, experts caution that it does not necessarily determine the success or failure of an IPO. They emphasize the importance of considering fundamental factors and evaluating the company's balance sheet. It's noted that the gray market is speculative and unregulated, lacking a direct connection to the company's financials.

During the three-day bidding period from November 21 to November 23, 2023, the IREDA IPO garnered substantial interest across investor categories. Qualified Institutional Buyers (QIBs) led with a subscription of 104.57 times, followed by the non-institutional investor (NII) segment at 24.16 times, and the employee segment at 9.80 times.

Upon the announcement of share allotment, investors can check the IREDA IPO allotment status online through the BSE website or the official registrar's website, Link Intime Private Limited. The BSE direct link for checking allotment status is bseindia.com/investors/appli_check.aspx, and for Link Intime, investors can use the link linkintime.co.in/mipo/ipoallotment.html. The status can be accessed by entering the IREDA IPO application number and PAN details.

US Indices end up sharply with tech after strong jobs, slower wage growth

US stocks saw a robust rally on Friday, led by the technology sector, as investors analyzed a jobs report indicating a broad increase in US hiring in September along with a slowdown in wage growth.

The S&P 500 and Nasdaq experienced their most significant daily percentage gains since late August, and the S&P 500 managed to end the week on a positive note, breaking a four-week losing streak.

The information technology sector saw the most significant gains among S&P 500 sectors, closely followed by communication services.

Initially, stocks dipped in response to the jobs data, which revealed the most substantial increase in US employment in eight months for September. However, they began to rebound later in the morning.

Robert Pavlik, senior portfolio manager at Dakota Wealth in Fairfield, Connecticut, noted, "You have an economy that's slowing, but not faltering, and you have a Federal Reserve on the sidelines." He also pointed out that the S&P 500 seemed to bounce back after nearing its 200-day moving average, currently around 4,208.

Market observers have been assessing whether the Fed might halt its interest rate hikes following a recent surge in long-term US Treasury yields. Benchmark 10-year US Treasury yields reached 16-year highs on Friday.

The day's data also revealed a moderation in wages, possibly due to the majority of jobs added last month being in lower-paying industries.

For the day, the Dow Jones Industrial Average rose by 288.01 points or 0.87% to reach 33,407.58, the S&P 500 gained 50.31 points or 1.18% to close at 4,308.5, and the Nasdaq Composite added 211.51 points or 1.6% to end at 13,431.34.

Over the week, the S&P 500 recorded a 0.5% increase, while the Dow declined by 0.3%, and the Nasdaq saw a 1.6% rise.

These recent gains followed significant losses in the stock market during September and the third quarter.

Investors are eagerly awaiting data on September consumer price inflation and producer price index readings due next week. Additionally, they are anticipating the upcoming quarterly earnings season, with major banks such as JPMorgan Chase (JPM.N) scheduled to report next week.

Exxon Mobil's shares experienced a 1.7% decrease after reports suggested that the US oil producer was in advanced talks to acquire Pioneer Natural Resources. Conversely, Pioneer's stock surged by 10.4%.

The volume of shares traded on US exchanges reached 10.58 billion, slightly lower than the 10.72 billion average for the full session over the last 20 trading days.

Advancing issues outpaced declining ones on the NYSE with a ratio of 1.96-to-1, while on Nasdaq, the ratio favored advancers at 1.73-to-1.

The S&P 500 recorded six new 52-week highs and 52 new lows, while the Nasdaq Composite marked 27 new highs and 260 new lows.

Over 100 Small-Caps Record Impressive Gains as Broader Indices Reach New Highs

This week witnessed a remarkable performance in the Indian stock market as the BSE Sensex surged by 0.77 percent, gaining 500.65 points to close at 65,387.16. Simultaneously, the Nifty50 index showed strength by adding 0.87 percent, resulting in a gain of 169.5 points and concluding the week at 19,435.30.

The positive momentum in the market was fueled by encouraging GDP figures and robust manufacturing PMI data for the first quarter of this fiscal year. These factors allowed the benchmark indices to break a five-week losing streak, overshadowing concerns such as a weak monsoon, rising crude oil prices, and mixed global market trends.

However, it was not only the large-cap indices that demonstrated resilience; the broader indices also outperformed expectations. The BSE Mid-cap, BSE Small-cap, and BSE Large-cap indices recorded gains of 2.3 percent, 3.8 percent, and 1 percent, respectively.

Shrikant Chouhan, Head of Equity Research (Retail) at Kotak Securities, commented on the market's performance, stating, "Indian equities posted healthy gains this week. Large indices like the BSE-30 and the NSE-50 gave weekly returns of close to 1 percent. Indian mid-cap and small-cap indices outperformed their large-cap peer."

On the sectoral front, the BSE Metals and BSE Realty indices stole the limelight with weekly gains exceeding 5 percent. Other sectors that posted robust weekly gains included BSE Commodities, BSE Auto, BSE Capital Goods, and BSE Power. In contrast, the BSE FMCG index saw a negative return for the week.

Chouhan added, "India's real GDP growth in Q1FY24 came in at 7.8 percent. In the near term, the market is expected to keep a close watch on the impact of the weak monsoon in August and the rise in crude oil prices."

Sector-wise, the BSE Metal index registered an impressive 6 percent jump, while the BSE Realty index surged by 5.7 percent. Additionally, the BSE Telecom index climbed 4.5 percent, and both BSE Power and Auto indices saw gains of 3.4 percent each. Conversely, the BSE FMCG index experienced a 0.5 percent decline.

The BSE Small-cap index emerged as a standout performer, surging by 3.8 percent. Among the small-cap stocks that stood out were Railtel Corporation of India, India Pesticides, Optiemus Infracom, HLV, Take Solutions, RattanIndia Power, Atul Auto, Jai Balaji Industries, Gokaldas Exports, Cerebra Integrated Technologies, Pokarna, Uflex, Coffee Day Enterprises, Skipper, and Sharda Motor Industries, all recording gains ranging from 25 to 46 percent.

On the flip side, GNA Axles, Digispice Technologies, Kuantum Papers, Waaree Renewable Technologies, Newgen Software Technologies, and Electronics Mart India witnessed declines of 10 to 46 percent.

Foreign institutional investors (FIIs) continued their selling spree for the sixth consecutive week, divesting equities worth Rs 4,311.58 crore. In contrast, domestic institutional investors (DIIs) exhibited a contrasting trend by purchasing equities worth Rs 9,570.03 crore. However, for the month of August, FIIs sold equities worth Rs 20,620.65 crore, while DIIs bought equities worth Rs 25,016.95 crore.

Nifty50 Outlook

Amol Athawale, Vice President - Technical Research, Kotak Securities

Analyzing the daily and intraday charts, the Nifty displayed a double bottom formation, indicating a strong possibility of an upcoming rally. Moreover, a long bullish candle on the daily charts supports the case for a continued uptrend. Key support is expected at 19,350, while the index could potentially rally towards 19,575. However, if support at 19,350 is breached, the uptrend might face vulnerability, with potential declines towards 19,275-19,220.

For Bank Nifty traders, the crucial support level is at 44,200. A move above this support could lead to gains towards 44,700 and 45,000. Conversely, a breach of 44,200 could result in a retreat towards 43,900-43,700 levels.

Jatin Gedia – Technical Research Analyst at Sharekhan by BNP Paribas

From a technical perspective, the Nifty experienced a notable rebound from the 19,250 zone, where buying interest emerged. Daily and hourly momentum indicators have triggered a positive crossover with divergence, signaling a bullish outlook in the short term.

On the weekly charts, the Nifty managed to close in positive territory after five consecutive weeks of decline, suggesting that it has reached a region where buying interest is evident. Taking these factors into account, the short-term outlook on the index

Top 10 Factors that affect the Stock Market on Monday

Bulls kept charging the markets throughout the truncated week that ended April 7, pushing the benchmark indices to sustain their rally. A host of reasons such as higher-than-expected PMI manufacturing data, monthly auto sales numbers, provisional Q4FY23 numbers from banks and NBFCs, FII inflow, and the RBI's surprise pause in interest rate hike with upward revision in growth forecast to 6.5 percent from 6.4 percent aided the surge.

The BSE Sensex climbed 841 points or 1.4 percent to 59,833, and the Nifty50 rose 239 points or 1.4 percent to 17,599, supported by banking and financial services, auto, pharma, and infrastructure stocks.

The broader markets also traded higher with the Nifty Midcap 100 and Smallcap 100 indices gaining 1 percent and 2 percent.

After yet another encouraging week, the momentum is expected to continue along with some volatility in the holiday-shortened week beginning April 10 with focus on corporate earnings, inflation data, global news flows, and FOMC minutes, experts said. 

1) Corporate Earnings

The corporate earnings season for the March FY23 quarter will be kicked off by index heavyweights Infosys on April 13, Tata Consultancy Services on April 12, and HDFC Bank on April 15.

2) CPI Inflation

The consumer price inflation, which measures the change in prices of a basket of goods and services, is likely to drop below the 6 percent mark in March on April 12, with moderation in food inflation, against 6.4 percent in the previous month, while core inflation is likely to be sticky around 5.9-6 percent.

3) US Inflation and FOMC Minutes

On the global front, investors will look for cues from US inflation numbers and FOMC minutes scheduled to be released on April 12. Overall, the inflation is expected to moderate further to around 5.3 percent in March against 6 percent in the previous month, while the core inflation is likely to be steady at around 5.5 percent, as per the forecast available on Trading Economics.

4) Global Economic Data Points

5) FII Flow

The consistent FII inflow due to the falling US dollar index and bond yields also aided the markets and experts believe the flow is expected to continue given the hope that Federal Reserve may consider a pause in interest rate hike cycle sooner than later.

6) Oil Prices

Crude oil prices reached to a month's high, with international benchmark Brent crude futures rising to over $85 a barrel, from $79.77 on a week-on-week basis and WTI crude climbing from $75.67 to $80.46 a barrel in the same period, after a surprise OPEC+ output cuts and more-than-expected draw in US oil stocks. But the gains were capped towards the end of week after the weak US economic data raised fears over demand outlook.

7) Technical View

The Nifty has formed bullish candlestick pattern on the weekly scale, with making higher top higher bottom for second consecutive week, and the momentum indicator RSI (relative strength index) giving a nice positive crossover. Also the index climbed back above the 50-week EMA (exponential moving average - 17,426), which is another positive sign.

8) F&O Cues

The weekly Option data indicated that the 17,600 is expected to be a crucial level for the next direction of Nifty50, where we have seen maximum Call as well as Put open interest. Further, the index may find strong resistance around 17,600-17,800 area, whereas 17,500 is expected to be near-term support followed by crucial support at 17,000 levels.

9) India VIX

The volatility cooled down considerably in the last couple of weeks, with the India VIX fell by 8.8 percent for the passing week to 11.79, the lowest weekly closing level since July 2021, from 12.93 levels last week.

10) Corporate Action

Schaeffler India, Britannia Industries, Varun Beverages, Visaka Industries, Edelweiss Financial Services, and Goodluck India will trade ex-dividend, while Emami will turn ex-buyback in the coming week.
