Today’s GMP (Grey Market Premium)

₹74

IPO Price / Expected Listing Price (Unofficial)

₹740 + ₹74 = ~₹814 (expected on GMP basis)

Market Expectation Before

30% premium on listing — i.e. ₹950+

Reality Now (Market Sentiment)

GMP down → listing gain expectation ~10% (₹810-820 range)

Market Fear

Investors worried ki listing pe returns muted ho sakte hain, ya volatility ho sakti hai

Possible Reason for Fear

GMP lagataar soft ho raha haiSentiment cautious hai due to valuation concernsLarge IPO size — supply-demand mismatch ho sakta hai


💡 Market Logic

GMP ₹74 on ₹740 price = ~10% premium
Market me pehle 30%+ listing gain ki ummeed thi (₹950 tak)
Ab reality me log cautious ho rahe hain — ho sakta hai listing day pe selling pressure aaye

🔑 Kya dekhna chahiye before listing date?

GMP daily track karo (agar ₹50-₹70 tak aur girta hai, listing pe pressure badhega)

o   Attractive P/B ratio (~3.2–3.9x) compared to peers

·        SEBI‑registered analyst Mayank Singh Chandel:

“…better suited for long‑term investors given strong fundamentals, premium valuations and HDFC Bank’s credibility. …IPO is not cheap, which makes it more suitable for long‑term investors.”

3. Risks & Concerns

·        Borrowing cost: ~7.9%, exceeds peers; may compress margins.

·        Regulatory risks: RBI’s proposed norms could force HDFC Bank to reduce stake, raising conflict-of-interest concerns

·        Market risk: Large IPO (~₹12,500 Cr) with hefty OFS; oversupply might weigh on listing dynamics


📌 Final Take:
If you’re a long-term investor, HDB Financials’ robust platform, strong HDFC backing, and retail-focused growth make it compelling despite premium pricing.
For listing-day speculators, risk-reward looks muted (7–10% expected), especially with price already baked in and macro/regulatory uncertainties.
