Risks of Applying for IPOs on Groww
- Market Volatility: IPO stocks are inherently risky. The company is new to the public market, and its future performance is uncertain. Stock prices can fluctuate significantly after the IPO, potentially leading to losses.
- Oversubscription and Allotment: Many IPOs receive a high volume of applications. If the demand exceeds the available shares (oversubscription), there’s a chance you won’t receive any shares even if you apply.
- Listing Price Uncertainty: The IPO price is often set based on estimated future value. There’s no guarantee the stock will list (begin trading) at or above the IPO price. You could end up buying shares at a price higher than their actual market value.
- Limited Liquidity: Newly listed IPOs often have lower trading volumes initially. This can make it difficult to sell your shares quickly if you need to exit the investment.
- Dependence on Groww’s Platform: While Groww offers a convenient platform, you’re reliant on their technology and processes for your IPO application. Any technical issues or errors on their end could potentially impact your application.
