Investing in New IPOs? Check These 3 Things First to Protect Your Money!

• Many investors lose money in IPOs by rushing for listing gains without proper research, often relying on Grey Market Premium (GMP).
• Distinguish between investing (understanding business, long-term) and speculating (no research, hoping for quick profit).
• Thoroughly analyze the DRHP: understand the business model, future vision, and 3-year financials like revenue, profit, P/E, and P/S ratios.
• Evaluate company's profit and debt: check gross profit (>60% good), net profit trends, debt-to-equity ratio (<1 good, >2 risky), and interest coverage ratio.
• Analyze the price band and promoter credibility; avoid expensive IPOs without growth and never blindly trust GMPs.
