Post-Listing Performance of Initial Public Offers (IPOs) in the Indian and United States Capital Market (2020–2024)

This study examines the success of Initial Public Offerings (IPOs) across elected sectors—Fintech, E-Commerce, Pharmaceuticals, and Energy & Renewables—in India and the United States, spanning the period from 2020 to 2024. These areas were especially picked due to their rapid growth, robust investor appeal, and heightened market activity during this period. By conducting a comparison analysis between the Indian market (an emerging nation) and the US market (a established economy), this research aims to provide insights into the varying market dynamics, investor behaviors, and overall market maturation. The conclusions of this study aim to aid investors in selecting ideal entry timings for IPO investments, inform market regulators about various sectoral behaviors, and contribute to future research in IPO market dynamics.
