How can investors calculate percentage listing gains from an IPO?

To calculate listing gain, subtract the IPO price from the listing price to find the per-share gain, then multiply by the number of shares held.

Percentage gain, use the formula: ((Listing Price- IPO Price)/IPO Price*)100

Key Feature of listing gain:

• Positive gain: A positive listinggain indicates that the stock is listed higher than its IPO price, resulting in profit for investors who bought shares in an IPO.
• Market sentiment: The listing gain reflects the market's initial response to the company's public debut and investor demand.
• Short-term profit:Investors typically aim to capitalise on listing gains by selling their shares on the first day of trading.
