Current Grey Market Premium for IREDA IPO
Market observers report that the Grey Market Premium (GMP) for IREDA IPO today stands at ₹10, demonstrating a ₹3 uptick from the previous day’s GMP of ₹7. Despite mixed trends in both Dalal Street and the global market, the grey market sentiment towards IREDA shares has turned bullish. Observers attribute this positive shift to the strong response from investors during the first two days of the IPO bidding process. The appealing valuations of IREDA shares are identified as a key factor drawing attention in the grey market.
Nevertheless, stock market experts caution investors against placing excessive reliance on GMP, emphasizing its speculative nature as a non-regulated metric. They stress the importance of adhering to fundamental analysis by examining the company’s financials for a more accurate evaluation.
