WHAT DOES THE LATEST GMP INDICATE?

Swiggy IPO was a much awaited public listing and was expected to do well. However, the latest grey market premium (GMP) does not suggest a strong debut for Swiggy shares on Dalal Street.

The IPO had a GMP of Rs 22 a few days before opening for bidding but has seen a decline since then.

Swiggy IPO's latest GMP stands at Rs 1, as of 08:24 AM on November 12, 2024. With a price band set at Rs 390, the estimated listing price is around Rs 391 (cap price plus today’s GMP), reflecting an expected gain of a mere 0.26% per share.

Founded in 2014, Swiggy partners with over 200,000 restaurants across India, facilitating food delivery in a rapidly growing market. Competing against firms like Zomato, Amazon’s India unit, and Tata Group’s BigBasket, Swiggy operates as a B2C marketplace that aggregates restaurant and merchant partners, enabling consumers to discover and purchase their offerings.

For the June 2024 quarter, Swiggy reported a net loss of Rs 611.1 crore on revenue of Rs 3,310.11 crore, with total losses reaching Rs 2,350.24 crore for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2024. Despite these challenges, Swiggy continues to expand its services and improve operational efficiencies, positioning itself for future growth.
