New Delhi, March 30: Yet another IPO success story, Cybermate Infotech Ltd has made its debut on the Hyderabad Stock Exchange at a 330 per cent premium to the offer price of Rs 10. After Sonata and KPIT, this is the third software issue in recent times which has commanded a huge premium on listing. The share opened its account on Tuesday at the Hyderabad bourse at Rs 50 and some profit booking at this counter saw the scrip to close below the opening quote at Rs 43. On the first day itself, the counter was very active and during the day, close to 1 lakh shares were traded.Based on the current market price, Cybermate Infotech has a current market capitalisation of nearly Rs 35.23 crore. The company has also been listed on Bangalore Stock Exchange. If the market cap continues to rise, this will provide the company with an option to list its shares on the premium stock exchanges. The activity at this counter is likely to increase as the company is likely to announce its full year results in a month's time.According to P C Pantulu, the managing director of Cybermate Infotech, the company may finalise the results in the next 20 days.
