SBI Card IPO listing date announced; Find out how well listing price will do

SBI Card IPO listing date: The State Bank of India (SBI) subsidiary SBI Cards and Payment Services Limited is getting listed on Monday 16th March 2020. The SBI Card informed about the same in a written press statement today. After the announcement of the SBI Card IPO listing date, the stock market experts are busy guessing its opening performance. However, a consensus is eluding them. The major reason for such a divide is due to the Yes Bank liability on SBI, which has been given the bailout task - it has to buy 49 per cent share in the fourth largest Indian private bank.

Speaking on the SBI Card IPO listing, Simi Bhaumik, a SEBI registered technical equity analyst said, "I am not much bullish about the SBI, which is a parent company for SBI Card. In my opinion, SBI Card IPO may open on Monday with a discount of 5-10 per cent." She said that in the coming trade sessions, the majority of the public sector bank companies are expected to feel the heat of weak global cues and hence SBI Card IPO listing may get hit by such bearish outlook of the public sector bank shares that include SBI stock.
