Star Health Insurance IPO: The Star Health IPO is likely to announce its share allotment on December 7, which is Tuesday. The Rakesh Jhunjhunwala-backed insurance firm, Star Health and Allied Insurance Company, floated its maiden initial public offering last week. However, the offer did not receive a great response from investors given its high value. The issue was subscribed only 79 per cent as employees and high net worth individuals (HNI) stayed away from the offer. The offer failed to interest bidders despite its backing from ace investor Rakesh Jhunjhunwala, ‘subscribe’ rating from brokerages, the company’s dominant presence in an unexplored sector and a robust growth prospect.
The Star Health IPO drew bids for 35.6 million shares against 44.9 million shares offered. Qualified Institutional Buyers booked only 1.3 times the portion reserved for them. This was a close escape because as per regulations, the QIB category has to be subscribed at least 90 per cent. The retail buyers category was subscribed 1.1 times. However, non institutional buyers and employees subscribed only 19 per cent and 10 per cent of the portion set aside for them.
This pushed the Star Health IPO to reduce the offer for sale part worth Rs 4,400 crore. The company had looked to mop up Rs 7,249 crore through its maiden public offer at the upper end of the price band. The price band was fixed at Rs 870 to Rs 900 per equity share. Star Health had earlier revealed that it had raised a little over Rs 3,217 crore from anchor investors ahead of opening the issue for the public.
At the grey market on Monday, the shares of Star Health were trading at a discount of Rs 75, according to reports. This was about 8 per cent down from the upper end of the price band. The low Star Health IPO GMP indicated that the listing at NSE and BSE later this month will not fetch a healthy return.
