The share allotment for Medi Assist Healthcare IPO has been finalized and investors are awaiting the listing on January 23. After the IPO allotment, the company’s share price soared to Rs 29 on GMP in the gray market. Earlier, Medi Assist Healthcare GMP was around Rs 27.

If the current trend continues, it is expected to be listed at a 7% premium over the IPO price. The company has priced the offer in the range of Rs 397-418.

However, it is important to keep in mind that the gray market premium is only an indicator of how a company’s stock price stacks up in the private market, and can change rapidly.
