For instance, as of writing, Prudential Insurance is valued at Rs. 440 per share (Shrawan 18- recommended to bid price based on auction closing day market price) in the secondary market. Based on historical data, this means investors can bid at a price of around 12.84% lower than Rs. 440 i.e. Rs. 384 (Approx.) but this is not guaranteed price. The same process can be used for NLG and Shikhar Insurance auction.
It should be noted that the shares auctioned take time to be listed in the secondary market. Currently, NEPSE seems to be quite volatile and it might change its direction although it is in a rising trend. So, to be on the safe side, investors can plan ahead and bid for a higher margin than the historical average (i.e. lower price).
Disclaimer: The highest bid is considered in an auction. We only analyzed past data and it goes without saying that this auction is unique in itself and unpredictable. Please consider your risk appetite and bid accordingly.
