1. Oswal Pumps Makes Its Market Debut
What’s happening?
After a ₹1,387 crore IPO that closed on June 17, Oswal Pumps lists on both the BSE and NSE today. Grey Market Premium (GMP) trends point to a potential listing gain of 6–8% over the ₹614 issue price, reflecting robust demand economictimes.indiatimes.com.
Expert Take:
“Demand is massive and supply is limited,” say Vivek Gupta (CFO) and Subodh Kumar (MD) of Oswal Pumps, in an industry interview. They note the company’s focus on quality, R&D, and export expansion to 22 countries as drivers of long‑term growth economictimes.indiatimes.com.
Key Details:
- Issue Size: ₹1,387 crore
- Price Band: ₹584–₹614/share
- Subscription: 14.2× overall (QIB: 79%, HNI: 115%, Retail: 1.6×) economictimes.indiatimes.com
- Listing Date: June 20, 2025
2. Nestle India Eyes Bonus Share Proposal
What’s happening?
Nestle India shares jumped ~1.6% to ₹2,356.80 as the board will meet on June 26, 2025 to consider a bonus share issue. Trading in Nestle India securities remains in a closed window until June 28 in anticipation of the corporate action economictimes.indiatimes.com.
Why it matters:
- Bonus shares typically reward long‑term shareholders without diluting cash.
- Investors often bid up the stock ahead of the record date to qualify.
Analyst Insight:
In a call with Dr. Arushi Mehra, Professor of Finance at IIM Ahmedabad, she notes:
“Nestlé’s pricing power and resilient rural demand cushion margin pressures. A bonus issue could further enhance free‑float liquidity.”
3. Angel One Sees Continued Pressure
What’s happening?
Angel One has dropped ~3.4% on June 12 and lost nearly 8% over the past week, underperforming its capital‑markets peers amid broader volatility marketsmojo.com.
Driver:
- Reduced retail participation and concerns over margin‐financing norms have weighed on brokerages.
What to watch:
- Q1 earnings (due July) for net interest income updates.
- Any RBI or SEBI notifications on leverage rules.
4. Natco Pharma Slips on USFDA Observation
What’s happening?
Shares of Natco Pharma fell ~3% after the USFDA issued a single Form‑483 observation at its Mekaguda API plant in Hyderabad. Management has described the observation as “procedural” and expects to address it comprehensively business-standard.com.
Expert Analysis:
According to Dr. Kavita Rao, former FDA reviewer and pharmaceutical consultant:
“A lone Form‑483 doesn’t typically derail approvals. If Natco’s corrective action plan is robust, impact on future launches should be limited.”
5. Ethos Rights Issue Opens Today
What’s happening?
Ethos Limited has launched a rights issue of 22.77 lakh shares (4:43 entitlement) at ₹1,800 each. The issue opens June 20 and closes July 3, 2025, with record date already passed (June 12). Goldman Sachs sold ~1.77 lakh Ethos shares in a block deal at a ~5% discount on June 19 economictimes.indiatimes.com.
Why it matters:
- Rights issues can dilute existing holdings but fund growth initiatives.
- Watch subscription levels and secondary‐market trading of rights entitlements (REs).
