Utkarsh Small Finance Bank (SFB), whose Rs 500-crore initial public offer (IPO) received a robust response from the investors during the bidding process, is likely to finalize the basis of allotment of shares on Wednesday, July 19, 2023.  The issue was open for subscription between July 12-14 in the price range of Rs 23-25 per share.

The IPO of Utkarsh SFB had received a strong response from the investors and was overall subscribed 110.77 times. The portion for qualified institutional bidders was booked 135.71 times, while the non-institutional investors' category was subscribed 88.74 per cent. The quota reserved for retail investors was subscribed 78.38 times, while the employee portion fetched 18.02 times bids.

Grey market premium (GMP) of Utkarsh Small Finance Bank has seen some strength recently but has been stable lately. Last head, Utkarsh Small Finance Bank was commanding a premium of Rs 16 in the grey market, which was around Rs 15 on Monday.

Incorporated in 2016, Utkarsh Small Finance Bank is a small finance bank in India, which recorded the second fastest AUM growth in the years financial year 2018-19 and financial year 2021-2022. The private lender has an asset under management (AUM) of more than 6,000 crore.

Majority of the brokerage firms are positive on the issue and suggest subscribing to it on a long-term basis, citing its attractive pricing, strong balance sheet and sound business fundamentals. However, a select analyst has flagged geographical concentration as the key threat to its business.
