Glenmark Life Sciences IPO allotment: Check GMP and application status

New Delhi: Amidst a busy week in the primary market, investors are awaiting the debut of Glenmark Life Sciences after the stellar listing of Tatva Chintan Pharma Chem last week.

However, the pharma player is losing its ground in the grey market. Last heard, it was commanding a premium of less than Rs 100 in the unofficial market, where the stock was trading at a premium of more than Rs 580 when the issue was announced.

Analysts say that a poor sentiment in the pharma sector could be weighing on the company's premium in the grey market.

Investors are now awaiting for the listing of Glenmark Life Sciences. The basis of allotment is likely to be finalised by Tuesday, August 3. The shares of the company are expected to list on Friday, August 6.

The Rs 1,514 crore issue, which was sold in the Rs 695-Rs 720 price band, received a strong investor response as it was subscribed over 44 times.

The quota reserved for qualified institutional buyers (QIBs) was subscribed 37 times while the one reserved for non-institutional investors (NIIs) by 126 times. The retail quota was subscribed 15 times.

Glenmark Life Sciences IPO received more than 39 lakh applications, the second-highest ever after Reliance Power IPO in 2008. The Rs 9,375 crore IPO of Zomato had received more than 32 lakh applications last month.

Considering the FY-21 adjusted EPS of Rs 28.69 on a post-issue basis, the upper price band implies a P/E of 25.09 with a market cap of Rs 8,822 crore, while most of its peers are trading at higher valuations. The company, which is a spinoff of Glenmark Pharma, is in the Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API) business, analysts said.
