Grey market premium of Route Mobile jumps to over 60% ahead of listing

 

Analysts expect Route Mobile to debut with a hefty premium when it is listed on bourses on September 21.


Route Mobile, which provides a cloud-communication platform as a service to enterprises, was trading at more than 60 per cent premium in the grey market over the issue price ahead of its listing on the bourses in the coming week.

The stock is available at a premium of Rs 200-240 per share in the grey market, Rudra Shares and CapitalVia Global Research told Moneycontrol. In percentage terms, it is 57-69 percent over the final issue price of Rs 350 per share, which is a significant jump from 45 percent early this week.

Route Mobile is set to debut with a hefty premium on bourses on September 21. It is expected to be the second bumper listing this month after Happiest Minds Technologies opened 111 percent higher on September 17, analysts said.

"At the upper end of the price band on FY20 basis it is demanding a PE of 25.3x, which we believe is quite reasonable and it will also gain higher traction as there are no listed peers for the company. Considering this, we believe the IPO will list at a significant premium over its issue price as a lot of value is left on the table," Keshav Lahoti - Associate Equity Analyst at Angel Broking told Moneycontrol.
