Grey market premium is the price at which the shares are being traded in the grey market. According to topsharebrokers.com, the shares of Signature Global had a GMP of ₹34 at 9:58 pm.
What experts say
“Signature Global’s continuous negative financial performance has made the issue price exorbitantly high and the negative P/E has made the prospects gloomy. The company has regional presence only and majorly in affordable housing. Investors may skip this IPO and wait for the better valuations to consider”, Dr. Ravi Singh, market expert, told Hindustan Times.
