SME IPO vs Mainboard IPO - Which Is Better?
SME IPOs (on BSE SME or NSE Emerge) have smaller lot sizes and listed at an average 60-80% प्रीमियम in 2023-24. However, SME IPOs have less liquidity post-listing (smaller float, fewer analyst coverage), higher risk of poor governance, and many have reversed all gains within 12 महीने. Mainboard IPOs are larger companies with better governance and institutional investor scrutiny.
