Buoyant stock valuations of Indian equities fueled a surge in initial public offerings, with India\u2019s National Stock Exchange surpassing both Dubai\u2019s Nasdaq and the Hong Kong Stock Exchange in primary listings by value, according to Dealogic and KPMG, putting it on track to become the world\u2019s second-largest equity fundraising market, trailing only after the US.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Behind the shift: <\/strong>India\u2019s IPO boom has been driven by smaller transactions and spin-offs from multinational companies like Hyundai, as issuers rush to lock in valuations while market conditions remain favorable, the salmon-coloured paper said. \u201cIt\u2019s been one of the busiest times in the history of Indian capital markets,\u201d Kotak Investment Banking managing director V Jayasankar said, noting that the trend has been bolstered by significant household investments into local equity markets.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>This shift reflects broader changes in Asian financial markets: <\/strong>Economic headwinds and tighter regulations designed \u201cto achieve balance between primary and secondary market\u201d have led to a slump in China\u2019s IPO activity, stalling many companies\u2019 plans to go public, BNP Paribas strategist Scarlett Liu said. On the other hand, Hong Kong has emerged as a bright spot, with equity raising surpassing USD 10 bn, led by high-profile transactions like Midea\u2019s USD 4 bn secondary listing and supported by its appeal as an offshore financial hub for Chinese firms. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Is India a bubble waiting to burst? <\/strong>\u201cObviously the number of transactions has gone up but the average ticket size per transaction is down about 75-80% in the last two years,\u201d said one Mumbai-based banker. \u201cNow, what that tells me is [companies are thinking] \u2018run for the hills, let\u2019s try to cash in as quickly as we can, whatever we can while market conditions remain supportive.\u2019\u201d The country\u2019s reporting weaker corporate earnings and slower GDP growth \u2014 with growth falling sharply to 5.4% in 3Q 2024 \u2014 which has raised concerns among foreign portfolio managers of a potentially frothy market, prompting them to pull some USD 11 bn from Indian equities in October and USD 2.5 bn in November.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Local bankers disagree<\/strong>, with many citing a healthy pipeline of IPOs and ample liquidity as signs that the market is still healthy with a lot of activity expected in the first half of 2025. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\">\n<p class=\"tag-border-left\">MARKETS THIS MORNING- <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Asian markets are mixed after some markets returned from Boxing Day holida<\/strong><strong>y<\/strong>, with Japan\u2019s Nikkei and Topix both up, while South Korea\u2019s Kospi, as well as the Hang Seng and CSI 300 all down.
