Stock market today: Despite weakness across segments on Dalal Street , Indegene share price listed on BSE and NSE at a bumper premium. Indegene share price is listed on BSE at ₹659.70 per share, whereas on NSE, Indegene shares are listed at ₹655 apiece. However, the stock failed to sustain such a higher premium as profit-booking triggered soon after the share debut and touched an intraday low of ₹527.10 on NSE and ₹527.80 apiece on BSE, logging a nearly 19 percent dip against the listing price. However, the newly listed stock witnessed some rebound and pared some losses. Indegene's share price is currently quoted at ₹600 apiece on NSE, which is nearly 9 percent lower than the listing price.

Regarding the Indegene share price listing, Prashanth Tapse, AVP — Research at Mehta Equities, said, "Considering the strong subscription demand and a healthy listing gain as per our expectations against the issue price of ₹452 per share. We believe the healthy listing is justified due to its virtual monopoly in its services tailor-made for the life sciences industry and its deep domain expertise in pharmaceutical marketing, clinical trials, pharmacovigilance, medical and regulatory affairs, and health informatics, which is benefiting its clientele base across the value chain."

Buy, sell or hold?

For the Indegene share allottees post-listing, the expert advice from Mehta Equities is clear. "Post-listing, we see the valuations are getting stretched and considering market selloff mood and other parameters, we are recommending conservative investors to book profits, while risk-taking investors can continue holding for long term." This guidance is crucial for making informed investment decisions.

Indegene's operational performance is expected to improve, driven by a strategic go-to-market approach. With a strong financial track record and reasonable valuation, investors who have received allotment are advised to hold shares for medium to long-term gains.

Amit Goel, Co-Founder & Chief Global Strategist at Pace 360, reassures investors about Indegene Limited's unique position in the market. "Indegene Limited stands out as a unique player in digital-led commercialization services within the Life Science Industry, boasting a virtual monopoly that generates over 98% of its global revenue. Given the promising outlook after profit-booking, investors may consider allocating funds for medium to long-term rewards." This unique position should instill confidence in the company's future prospects.
