- Post-listing price performance versus issue price and first-quarter guidance on shipment growth, EBITDA and cash burn.
- E-commerce order-volume trends and fuel-cost movements, which affect carrier pricing and delivery margins.
- Track daily QIB, NII and retail subscription separately rather than extrapolating from the first two hours.
- Monitor grey-market premium, anchor-investor quality and price-band commentary for indications of listing-demand strength.
