Research Reinvented

National Stock Exchange's (NSE) IPO is expected to raise over US$1bn through a sale of secondary shares slated to take place later this year.Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) listing earlier this year has set the stage for NSE's debut (we looked at BSE IPO here: <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/insights/bombay-stock-exchange-ipo-second-by-a-wide-margin-in-a-two-man-race" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="insights:8279">Bombay Stock Exchange IPO - Second by a Wide Margin, in a Two-Man Race</a>).  Our conclusions looking at the two remain broadly the same: NSE is bigger and better of the two. It will trade at a generous premium to BSE when it lists. In this insight, we look at the company's financial performance and some issues relating to preferential access that might be an overhang for the listing. Once the deal is launched we will run it through our framework.
