Groww’s post-listing dream run hit turbulence this week. The stock had fallen nearly 20% from record highs, wiping out over Rs 22,000 crore in market capitalisation in just two sessions.
The slide comes amid valuation concerns, profit-booking, and the stock’s brief entry into the auction segment due to excessive volatility.
Despite the sell-off, Groww still trade well above its IPO price of Rs 114, giving comfort to long-term investors but raising questions about whether the peak froth has cooled.
However, the stock on Friday reversed the decline and reclaimed Rs 1lakh crore market capitalisation.
