IPO GMP (Grey Market Premium) is an unofficial premium at which IPO shares are traded before listing on the stock exchange.
What is IPO GMP?
IPO GMP stands for Grey Market Premium. It shows the expected listing gain or loss of an IPO based on current demand in the grey market.
How IPO GMP Works
If an IPO issue price is ₹100 and the GMP is ₹25, the expected listing price could be around ₹125.
Formula:
Expected Listing Price = IPO Price + GMP
