Orient Cables Shares Rise on IPO Debut, Drop 10% Next Day Amid Profit Booking
Orient Cables debuted on the stock market with shares listing at a premium of around 65% over its IPO price of Rs 272, reaching as high as Rs 450 on the NSE. However, the stock faced a sharp correction the following day, dropping 10% to hit the lower circuit at Rs 364.50, about 19% below its listing price but still 34% above the IPO price. The decline is attributed mainly to profit booking after strong initial gains. The company serves high-growth sectors including telecom, broadband, renewable energy, and smart building automation.
