We study how IPOs have fared in 2019 via the BSE IPO index which moved up 42.6% in 2019 (does not include listing gains). A look which stocks contributed to the move and associated risks.
What is S&P BSE IPO? The BSE IPO Index measures the performance of BSE listed companies for one year after the completion of their initial public offering (IPO)
How the BSE IPO index is constructed: Stocks will have to be listed at the BSE and should have a minimum float-adjusted market capitalization of INR 1 billion (10 Crores) on the first day of listing.

Eligible companies will be included on the third day of their listing and excluded “at the open of the Monday following the third Friday of the month after the completion of one year of listing”. Source: BSE index methodology document
There will be a minimum of ten stocks in the index and in the absence of new IPOs, the exclusions of stocks will be delayed. The index is free-float market cap weighted subject to a cap of 20%.

Out of the 48 IPOs in 2019, 29 of them have moved up after listed and 15/29 move up more than 40%! Four stocks moved up by more than 100%. All these have contributed in various proportions to the 42.6% gain in 2019.
Current Gains vs Listing Gains
The current gains (vertical axis) are plotted against their listing gains. Stocks that moved up dramatically on listing have not gained as much since then which is to be expected (this is not mean reversion). Six stocks that listed at a discount to the offer price, fell further!
BSE IPO Index vs BSE Sensex
In order to understand the associated risk let us compare the BSE IPO Index with the Sensex over different durations.
1 year
Most of the gains for BSE IPO Index has come in the last quarter.
3 years
5 years
10 years
Clearly the BSE IPO is far more volatile than the Sensex with a bad phase erasing gains obtained over several years.
Summary
The year 2019 has been a fantastic year for IPOs with many registering stellar gains on listing. Some also moved up later resulting in a last quarter surge of the BSE IPO index. While there are no index funds or ETFs to track IPOs, the movement of the BSE index carries a simple, intutive lesson: IPOs tend to fare better during bull markets although chasing after IPO gains can be risky bussiness on any given day.
