Data Patterns (India) Limited who had tapped the capital markets with its fresh issue for Rs 240 crs and an offer for sale of 59,52,550 equity shares completed allocation to anchor investors. The issue which was open from Tuesday the 14th of December to Thursday the 16th of December had a price band of Rs 555-585. The company allotted 30,16,533 equity shares to 15 anchor investors comprising of 23 entities at Rs 585, which was the top end of the price band. Ashoka India and Axis Mutual fund were allotted an identical 3,42,400 shares or 11.35% of the anchor book. Eight anchor investors were allotted an identical 2,05,650 shares or 6.82% of the anchor allocation. Overall, the top ten anchor investors were given 77.26% of the anchor book.

The overall issue was subscribed 120.61 times. QIB portion was subscribed 185.90 times, HNI portion was subscribed 259.83 times and Retail portion was subscribed 23.64 times. There were 28.02 lac applications and on basis of lots, Retail portion was subscribed 19.95 times.

The high of the day on BSE was Rs 864, the low was Rs 744.05 and the close was Rs 754.85. The gain was Rs 169.85 or 29.03%. On NSE, the high of the day was Rs 864, low was Rs 743.85 and the close was Rs 755 a gain of Rs 170 or 29.06%.

The traded volume on the two exchanges combined was 145.36 lac shares which was 1.41 times the IPO size of 102.74 lac shares and 2.00 times the non-anchor portion of 72.58 lac shares. Delivery volume was 49.91 lac shares which was 34.34 % of the traded volume. It was 48.59 % of the issue size and 68.78 % of the non-anchor portion. The weighted average of the day’s trade was Rs 806.67 on BSE and Rs 803.17 on NSE.

In terms of institutional or bulk trade, none were reported on either BSE or NSE. The traded volumes were decent and in comparison, the delivery volumes were poor. That probably explains the fact why the share was under pressure in the last 45 minutes of trade and lost significant ground. This was yet another share where the leveraged investor/HNI lost out as the cost of funding was far higher than the closing price. The average cost of funding was Rs 235 which meant the share should have traded at Rs 820. While it did open higher than this price, it failed to sustain there and continuously fell from these levels.

A decent listing on day one with appreciation for retail investors. Leveraged HNI has lost out on more issue and one wonders what drives their decision to borrow and invest in IPO’s.

A decent listing on day one with appreciation for all investors. Retail participation was low and the stiff valuations with which the IPO came could have been a dampener.

In terms of institutional or bulk trade, none were reported on either BSE or NSE. The traded volumes were decent but delivery volumes were very low. Investors believe that the share price will recover in the coming days. Not sure whether this share would go the similar way as Star Health which after holding on day one, fell over the next few days and is currently lower by over 10-11%. No matter who backs the company, investors want some money on the table or will not invest or look to buy the share post listing.

Yet another disaster on listing day and there maybe more price damage as we go further. Wakeup time for merchant bankers and the need to be conscious of pricing the issue well rather than over aggressive.
