IPO’S have managed to maintain a gain loss ratio situation at the ratio of 1:4 in last 5 years. It is a known fact that investors have made their money in one out of every five IPO’S that hit the market in the past five years. All this has taken place despite the current bear phase. It has been found that out of 257 initial public offerings (IPO’S) which were launched in the last five years, showed that among 53, investors are yet in the profit. Out of these, there are two stocks which have given over 1000% return, after adjusting the bonus, split, de-merger of businesses and other important components. So, suppose an investor invests about Rs.1 Lakh in stocks of Educomp Solutions and

Indiabulls Financial Services, at the time of the IPO and is still holding those shares, that investment can be considered to be worth over Rs.11 lakh.
