Expert view

Yash Gupta, Equity Research Associate, Angel Broking said, “We had some very good IPO listings in the start of the year but then, the market focus has been shifted towards midcaps and smallcaps. Now, again, the IPO market is getting ready for 6 new IPOs in a couple of months.”

He further added that around 6-7 new IPOs will be coming in a couple of months with an IPO size of Rs 10,000-Rs 11,000 crore. Clean Science and Technology expects to come with an IPO in the first week of July 2021 with IPO size of Rs 1,500 crores, along with it, India Pesticides, KIMS Hospitals and Dodla Dairy are expected to come in the month of June or July. We expect this will be a very good opportunity for the retail investor to make money due to listing gains in a very short time of period,” he added.
