Are LG Electronics India and Rubicon IPOs Still Worth Holding After Listing? A Look at Listing Gains and Practical Real Returns

LG Electronics India burst onto the listing scene with a near 50% premium, opening around ₹1,710-₹1,715 on the NSE/BSE after an oversubscription that dwarfed the IPO size—more than 54x. Investors booked profits in many cases, while some chose to hold with trailing stops ^[2][6].

Rubicon Research IPO carried about a 30% GMP, but allotment was tough for the retail crowd. Retail appetite looked mixed, and many applicants didn’t secure allotment despite applying for both blocks ^[4].

Price discovery on listing day drew questions about pre-market bids: sellers often place lower LC orders to trigger fills, and the opening price tended to hover in the ₹1,710–₹1,715 range as buyers and sellers met at the market open ^[7].

Beyond the initial pop, the real test is whether the gains stick. Traders are weighing tax implications and whether to book profits or press holdings for longer-term returns, while watching how both LG’s post-listing performance and Rubicon’s GMP path unfold ^[2].

Quick takeaway: listing-day rallies can sparkle, but durability comes from fundamentals and a clear holding strategy rather than one-off pops.
