Mankind Pharma IPO listing: Manforce condom maker off listing high, but remains well among Indias top 100 most valuable firms
Mankind Pharma IPO listing: Mankind Pharma - whose popular brands include Manforce and Prega News - made a blockbuster debut on stock exchanges BSE and NSE on May 9, finishing the listing day at a premium of 32 per cent over the upper end of its IPO price range.
Even as the newly-listed Mankind Pharma shares took a breather on their second day on Dalal Street, the pharma and healthcare products company remained well among the country's top 100 most valuable companies. The stock of Mankind Pharma — whose popular products include Manforce condoms and Prega News pregnancy test kits — fell more than six per cent on Wednesday, but that did not force the company out of India's top 100 club in terms of market capitalisation (mcap) or market value. In fact, the company stays well among the top 90.
At the current market price, of Rs 1,424.1 per share, Mankind Pharma's market value stands at Rs 57,045.8 crore, according to provisional exchange data.
