Hexagon Nutrition IPO subscription, Day 3: Hexagon Nutrition continued to attract strong investor interest for its initial public offering (IPO), which closes for public subscription on Tuesday, June 9. The ₹138.87-crore maiden share sale of the research-oriented pure-play nutrition company was subscribed 16.09 times, led by robust demand from non-institutional investors (NIIs), who subscribed 40.98 times their reserved quota. 


Retail investors followed, subscribing 14.38 times their allotted portion. Qualified institutional buyers (QIBs), however, showed relatively muted interest, with the category subscribed only 0.41 times, or 41 per cent, of the shares reserved for them. 

Investor sentiment towards the issue has also been supported by activity in the grey market. According to sources tracking the unofficial market, the company’s unlisted shares were trading at ₹51.5 apiece, indicating a grey market premium (GMP) of ₹6.5, or 14.44 per cent, over the upper end of the IPO price band of ₹45 per share.
