Does GMP predict IPO listing gains?

Grey market premium is everywhere before an IPO lists — but how well does it actually track the listing price? We check our own GMP history against real listing outcomes and keep score, honestly.

Across 72 listed IPOs we have full data for, grey market premium got the direction right (a gain vs a discount) 81% of the time, and its implied listing gain missed the actual gain by 9.7 percentage points on average. GMP tended to under-predict the listing gain. GMP is a demand signal, not a price — treat it accordingly.

Method. For each IPO that has listed, we take the last grey market premium we recorded before listing and express it as a percentage of the issue price (the GMP-implied listing gain). We compare that with the actual listing-day gain, using the official BSE listing price. Only IPOs with both a recorded pre-listing GMP and a real listing outcome are included. Full sourcing is in our methodology; GMP’s limits are in the disclaimer. GMP is unofficial and not a guarantee of any listing price.
