The primary market is gearing up for one of its busiest stretches this month. Between August 10-15, investors will have their hands full tracking five mainboard companies opening their books, three small and medium enterprise issues (SME) inviting bids.
That is not all. Eight companies are also lined up for stock market listings during the week. So, this makes the IPO calendar a mix of new subscriptions, ongoing issues, allotments and debut sessions.
For anyone who tracks the IPO space, this is the kind of week where missing a subscription window could mean missing out on an allotment altogether.
