What is IPO Grey Market?

The grey market - or, the illegal premium market for initial public offerings (IPOs) was back after almost a decade.

After its death almost 10 years ago, the the grey market was reborn in August, 2004 with Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) Ltd issue.

It is a completely illegal market where stocks are traded even before allotments in the IPOs are made. In fact, the unofficial trading begins well before the scrip is listed.

The transaction in this market is normally between parties who know each other very well. They trade in scrips unofficially and settle accounts outside of the stock exchanges once the allotments by the companies are decided.

Normally, third parties are not part of such trading.

However, a third party is entertained only if he is introduced through a person known in the circuit.

Two parties agree to settle the trade at a price on the day of listing through the stock market mechanism and the difference is settled through cash, explained broking industry sources.

A robust secondary market has aided this trend and players in this segment are doing brisk business across centres. Ahmedabad is the most active grey market centre while Kolkata, Delhi and Mumbai are also some of the centres where grey market for IPOs is alive and kicking.

A dealer with a brokerage house said, The future of the grey market for the IPOs is linked with the robustness of the secondary market. Till the time the cash market is in the pink of health, this grey market will flourish and the moment a downturn is signalled in the cash market, the grey market downturn will be faster than that of the cash market. In such an event, the premium market will disappear altogether.

They tell the price either at which buyers are willing to buy shares or the price at which sellers are willing to sell their IPO shares.

  4. What is Kostak Price?

    Kostak (or price of application) is the premium amount in rupees at which IPO applications are being traded in IPO Grey Market. Usually 'Kostak' value is defined as the premium of a maximum lot retail application in an IPO. Kostak price is important mostly before issue is close for subscription and final bidding status is available to the IPO investors.

  6. What is the Basis of IPO allotment?

    In August 2012 SEBI has made regressive changes in the allotment procedures. As per these changes, every retail applicant will get a certain number of shares, though it is subject to the availability. It clearly means that retail investors are now assured to get minimum number of shares at a decided ratio irrespective of the lots they have applied, subject to availability. However remaining shares will be allotted proportionately. Current procedure is quite encouraging for retail investors as now they have assurance of getting shares in IPO. As per this practice every investor has equal probability of getting shares in an IPO irrespective of the lots he applied in an oversubscribed issue. Even if he applied for minimum permissible lot he may get minimum number of stocks allotted to shareholders. In fact retail investors who apply for smaller lots may have a better chance of getting more number of shares than the investors who applies for maximum amount permissible.
