BofA Securities takes a look at pre-IPO shareholdings/further potential supply and fundamentals of several stocks

The most recent shareholding patterns of companies like Nykaa, Delhivery, Paytm, and PB Fintech demonstrate that there is still enough supply, which has resulted in a continued overhang of some investors, despite the fact that these companies experienced high volatility as few early investors withdrew.

According to disclosures, brokerage BofA Securities notes that there is enough supply from companies like Softbank, Alibaba/Ant, Tencent, and others in the non-promoter stake that has not yet passed the line as a block.

"Ironically, better-performing stocks may see blocks as these investors would like to cash-in where demand is high. Nykaa now has the smallest non-promoter stake from pre-IPO investors at c. 11%," said brokerage BofA Securities in its report.
