It looks like the technology and digital stocks, which were part of the IPO craze in the last few months, have suddenly fallen out of favour. It may be too early to say that the IPO book in India risks grinding to a halt, but that appears to be the broad message. The big reason is the sharp fall in most digital shares post listing. It is not just about Paytm because other digital listings like Policy bazaar, Car Trade, Zomato and even Nykaa have fallen substantially. This sudden shift in sentiments has upset the plans of a slew of start-ups and this includes the likes of Oyo Hotels, Delhivery, PharmEasy, Droom etc. Most of them are now apprehensive that the anti-digital feeling could hit their valuations and their post listing performance.

The talks of interest rate hikes, ever worsening inflation, rising crude prices were the major reasons that aided volatility in the markets and made them slip down.

A large number of retail investors are keen to apply for the shares, especially given how some recent IPOs performed initially, as some stocks turned out multi-baggers for shareholders. However, as the market turned volatile, they were reminded of the old lessons around ‘greed and fear’ in various ways. While making an informed decision about going in for the LIC IPO, here are certain things investors should keep in mind. Valuations and fundamentals: Investors keep making the same mistakes and it was no different during the recent IPO wave. Chasing hot themes generally does not work.
