Footwear brand Campus Activewear made a strong debut on the Nifty and Sensex despite weak market trends. The stock listed at ₹355, which is 21.58% more than the issue price band of ₹278-₹292 per share.

Investors have been expecting decent listing gains due to grey market premium, positive recommendation by analysts as India's largest sports and athleisure footwear brand. However, poor market sentiments meant expectations were tapered down.

“The company has a huge runway of growth and the long term prospects are good. The current grey market premium is about ₹65 i.e. about 22% above its upper band price, and we expect similar listing gains for the issue. However, current volatile market conditions might be detrimental for its listing. Nevertheless, we recommend investors to stay with the company for the long term,” said Aayush Agrawal, senior analyst at Swastika Investmart.

Post listing, the market capitalisation of the company stood at ₹10,803 crore, according to BSE data.

The grey market had indicated a listing gain of 20% as unlisted shares of Campus Activewear were commanding a premium of ₹60 per share.
