Share prices of Dominage Steel Building Systems continued to soar as its share jumped 9.78 per cent further on Sunday riding on investors’ ‘irrational hype’ over the new issue.
The steel building maker’s share price jumped 147 per cent in three trading days after the debut to close at Tk 24.70 on Sunday from its issue price of Tk 10 each, according to data with the Dhaka Stock Exchange (DSE).
The company made a flying trading debut as its share price rose 50 per cent — the highest allowable limit-on debut on trading day on Wednesday to close at Tk 15 each on the issue price of Tk 10 each.
The second trading day, the company’s share closed at Tk 22.50 each, soaring 50 per cent on the closing price of debut trading which was also the highest allowable limit.
The company’s trading was halted within a few minutes in every trading session as investors rushed for buying its shares. But there were few sellers seen on the trading floor.
Market analysts said the investors showed their appetite for the new issue amid short-term speculation. So, it created an ‘irrational hype’ among investors from the debut trading.
The price of the shares of the company could not go up further despite high demand from investors due to the imposition of a new circuit breaker on debut shares, said a leading broker.
As per the new rules, the price limit of a new company will remain open 50 per cent on issue price on debut day and the following day, the price limit will remain open 50 per cent on the closing price of debut trading.
The normal circuit breaker is applicable from the third trading session for the newly listed stocks.
