- Grey-market premium direction before allotment and listing
- Price-band valuation relative to revenue growth, gross margin and operating losses
- Listing-day price performance and traded volumes
- Management guidance on store expansion, manufacturing capacity, battery sourcing and cash burn
- Ather and its bankers will focus on final-day institutional book building and anchor-investor demand signals.
- Investors will compare implied valuation with listed two-wheeler incumbents, Ola Electric and EV-sector growth/profitability benchmarks.
- A weaker-than-expected close could lead prospective EV issuers to defer listings, revise price bands or emphasize path-to-profitability metrics.
