“The only disappointing debut on the stock markets today was of Fedbank Financial services, it got listed at Rs 138 per share that almost a flat listing over its IPO price of Rs 140. The lackluster listing was in line with the pre-listing sentiment, which was dampened by a weak grey market premium and a relatively tepid investor response. Given this subdued listing we recommend a neutral stance on Fedbank Financial Services, said Shivani Nyati Head of Wealth at Swastika Investmart.
