Snapshot: what the market data shows today

DreamFolks Services’ screen data shared in the update showed a previous close of ₹67.93 and an open of ₹69.35. The same panel also displayed an upper circuit of ₹81.51, and another level at ₹54.35. A separate “common consensus” indicator based on publicly available sources showed BUY (100.00%).

Alongside these current trading reference points, the broader note also recapped the stock’s early days on the market in 2022, including listing-day levels and a reported later intraday record.

The key event: DreamFolks’ debut trade on September 6, 2022

DreamFolks Services, an airport service aggregator, made its stock market debut on Tuesday, September 6, 2022, listing on both the NSE and BSE. The stock opened well above its IPO issue price of ₹326 per share, reflecting strong demand in the public issue.

On the BSE, DreamFolks listed at ₹505, which was described as a 54.90% jump over the issue price. During the day, it climbed further to ₹550 and later ended at ₹462.65, up 41.91%.

On the NSE, the shares debuted at ₹508.70, a 56% premium, and settled at ₹462.85, up 41.97%.

How far the stock moved on listing day

The listing-day trading range highlighted strong momentum immediately after the opening print. The stock’s intraday highs were reported at ₹550 on BSE and ₹549 on NSE, while intraday lows were ₹448.50 on BSE and ₹448.00 on NSE.

A separate trading update noted that at 10:04 am, DreamFolks traded at ₹495.85, which was described as 52% higher than the issue price.

These figures underline that the first day was volatile but clearly above the IPO level through most of the session.

IPO structure, subscription, and pricing details

The IPO was described as entirely an Offer-For-Sale (OFS) of 1,72,42,368 equity shares. The offer was priced in the ₹308-₹326 range, with the upper end of the band at ₹326.

Subscription demand was strong. The IPO was reported to be subscribed 56.68 times.

The note also stated that the company had raised ₹253 crore from anchor investors ahead of the public issue. Another line in the update said the company raised ₹562 crore from its initial public offering.

Grey market signals and pre-listing expectations

Ahead of the debut, grey market and analyst expectations pointed to a premium listing. The update mentioned:

• DreamFolks was trading at around a 30-40% premium in the grey market on September 5 over the issue price of ₹326.
• IPO Watch data cited a grey market premium (GMP) of around ₹105 per share on Monday, implying an estimated listing around ₹431 (₹326 + ₹105).
• Another estimate in the text suggested the stock might list in the ₹420-₹440 range.

Analysts quoted in the update expected a premium listing as well. One view said listing could be above ₹420 levels, translating to more than a 29% premium over ₹326. Another expected a premium of more than 35%.

A later reported record high versus IPO price

The update also stated that the stock hit a record high of ₹592.15 intraday, and that it was 82% higher than its issue price of ₹326 at that point.

This figure is separate from the listing-day high (₹550) mentioned in the same dataset, and was presented as a “today” record high in the supplied text.

Valuation reference cited by a brokerage note

A brokerage report excerpt dated August 25 (Ventura Securities) was also included. It said that at the IPO price of ₹326, DreamFolks was valued at an FY22 P/E of 104.8X.

This provides context for how the stock was being framed at the time of the offering, even as the listing ultimately came in well above the IPO level.
