AAA Technologies Limited IPO Poised To Make A Market Debut

AAA Technologies Limited will join the IPO bandwagon on September 30. The company said that it is ready with the AAA Technologies Limited IPO to hit the market under the NSE SME segment with an offer size of Rs 10. 23 crores.

The IPO market has revived pretty well since the lockdown dampened its performance. Since July, several companies have launched IPO offers, and several others are in line, hoping to gain from revived investors’ interest.  After having a specially active year in 2019, this year has been tepid for the IPO segment mainly because of the COVID-19 outbreak. But since the market is gradually turning around, several companies are reviving their IPO plans. In September, two new-generation IT firms together raised a combined capital of Rs 1,300 crores from the market.

September is always a busy month for the companies in the exchange. Several firms float IPO offers in September based on their June month’s financial performance reports. It is good to see that there is no difference in this year too. The Indian financial market is having a busy time, and along with the big companies, several SME firms are also making a market debut in 2020.

After GM Ployplast and Likitha Infrastructure, AAA Technologies Limited follows suit with initial public offers that will open on the last day of September. AAA Technologies Limited IPO subscription will remain open from September 30 to October 5, 2020.
