Objects of the Issue

The IPO process does not directly raise money to invest in new business; instead, it will bolster the balance sheet and lower interest costs.
Should You Apply, Hold or Sell on Listing?
Interest in listings has been healthy with strong subscription and record anchor demand. However, the correct technique will depend on what you're trying to achieve. For a short term listing gains, have a definite goal, and use a stop loss, as estimates based on GMP may be incorrect. In the long run, concentrate on cash flows, the rate of AI and digital development, and the valuation. On thetopstockbroker, we advise the reading of the Red Herring Prospectus, not making any investment decisions based solely on GMP, and investing only according to your risk appetite.
