Word of the Day: SME IPO

Today’s financial education brings us the term “SME IPO.” SMEs, or Small and Medium Enterprises, are companies of smaller size with limited assets and capital. IPOs of companies having a post-issue paid-up capital of up to Rs 25 crore are referred to as SME IPOs. These companies find their listing on the BSE SME and NSE Emerge platforms.

Understanding IPO Subscription

A common query among investors is understanding IPO subscription numbers, such as “subscribed 11.88 times.” Let’s clarify with an example:

Imagine a company, ABC Ltd, going public with an IPO and offering 20,000 shares. During the IPO application period, investors apply for shares. If, for instance, 1,000 people collectively apply for 40,000 shares, but there are only 20,000 shares available, it means the IPO is oversubscribed by 2 times (2x). In such cases, the allocation of shares is typically determined through a random or lucky draw process.
