Corona Remedies Outpaces Wakefit in Early Bidding as Twin IPOs Open for Subscription

Grey‑market quotes alongside broker research signal stronger listing optimism for the pharma offer than for the D2C home brand.

Overview

  • By the end of day one, Corona Remedies was subscribed about 62% versus roughly 15% for Wakefit, with little QIB participation reported for either issue.
  • Latest grey‑market signals diverged sharply, with Corona around Rs 262 per share (about 25% over the top band) and Wakefit near Rs 5 (about 3% over), per market trackers.
  • Corona’s Rs 655.37 crore issue is a full offer for sale priced at Rs 1,008–1,062, while Wakefit seeks about Rs 1,288.89 crore via a fresh issue plus OFS at Rs 185–195.
  • Anchor allocations were completed before launch, with Wakefit raising about Rs 580 crore from 33 anchors and Corona about Rs 194.85 crore from 15 anchors.
  • Financials underscore the contrast: Corona posted FY25 PAT of Rs 149.43 crore, whereas Wakefit reported a FY25 net loss of about Rs 35 crore but a H1 FY26 profit of Rs 35.6 crore; subscriptions close December 10, allotments are expected December 11, and listing is tentatively set for December 15.
