Veranda Learning, an education technology company, had an unexpected debut on the stock exchanges on Monday. On the BSE, the stock started at a premium of nearly 15% above its IPO price of 137 per share, while on the NSE, it opened at an 8.7% discount.
The Veranda Learning stock listed price discrepancy persisted throughout the day, with the stock closing at 160.4 on the BSE, 17 percent above the issue price, and at 131.25 on the NSE, 4 percent below the IPO price.
The explanation for the difference in stock price on debut could not be determined, but market players said that arbitrageurs would be unable to profit from the price differential on the two exchanges since anybody who acquired the stock on Monday would be unable to sell it on Tuesday.
