What are the different ways investors can make money from an IPO?

The money you can make from an IPO depends on several factors, such as how the stock performs after listing, how many shares you hold, and the overall market sentiment. If the IPO performs well, your returns can be significant. For example, if you buy shares at the issue price and the stock rises sharply on the listing day or continues to grow over time, you can sell your shares at a higher price and book profits.

However, there is no guarantee of profit. Some IPOs may underperform and even list below the issue price, resulting in losses. Returns can vary widely from small gains to substantial appreciation but unfavourable market conditions can also lead to negative outcomes.

In short, while IPOs can be profitable, they carry inherent risks, and returns are never guaranteed.
