- Anchor book quality, including long-only domestic and global institutional participation.
- Equity-market volatility and risk appetite for loss-making growth companies.
- Updated disclosures on shipment growth, EBITDA trajectory, customer concentration, and competitive pricing.
- Track QIB and non-institutional investor subscription rates daily; these segments will matter more than early retail demand.
