Zomato shares opened to much fanfare on the bourses on 23 July, reporting gains to the tune of 66% to end at Rs. 126 on the NSE. Its market capitalisation breached the Rs. 1 lakh crore-mark to reach an intraday high but finally closed at Rs. 98211 crores. It hit the upper circuit of 20% on opening at Rs. 138 apiece, nearly doubling from its final offer price of Rs. 76.
On the other hand, the food tech behemoth’s shares ended at Rs. 125.85 on the BSE, closing at 65% higher than the final offer price. After it was subscribed 38.25 times, experts pegged Zomato stock to register at least a 15% premium. Evidently, it surpassed the expectations well and beyond but it remains to be seen whether or not the bullish sentiments will sustain.
