Shares of many companies are listed in the stock market with a premium of 50 to 100 percent over their issue price. Due to this, a huge increase in the initial capital of investors has been recorded on the very day of listing. Analysts say that these excellent returns are being seen due to better financial performance of companies, strong business model and strong liquidity of investors.
