India''s Biggest Ever Initial Public Offering Crashes 27% On IPO Day Just like the rest of global equity markets, 2021 has been a monumental year for Indian stocks and it culminated overnight with the nation''s biggest ever IPO, when One97 Communications Ltd, the entity that operates Indian digital payments platform Paytm, went public at a price of 2,150 rupees per share, the top of a marketed range. The digital payments company raised 183 billion rupees ($2.5 billion), India''s largest ever IPO when measured in local currency, surpassing Coal India''s in 2010. That IPO was worth 155 billion rupees ($3.48 billion), according to data from Refinitiv Alas, the party then quickly died when PayTM shares opened below the 2,150 rupees ($28.60) issue price, before closing down a whopping 27% at 1,564 rupees ($21). According to some analysts, the post-break flop reflects fears about Paytm''s business: the company, which is now worth almost $14 billion, lost hundreds of millions of dollars last year and seems far from ready to turn a profit.

Japanese shares fall on worries over rising costs, yen''s weakness

05:48am, Wednesday, 17'th Nov 2021 Business Recorder
TOKYO: Japanese shares reversed early gains on Wednesday as concerns over rising costs and a weaker yen outweighed gains made by technology heavyweights after a strong finish on Wall Street. The Nikkei share average fell 0.4% to 29,679.68 by 0201 GMT, while the broader Topix lost 0.55% to 2,039.51. Earlier in the session, the Nikkei had gained 0.3% and the Topix had risen 0.2%. Overnight, all the three major indexes on Wall Street closed higher on the back of upbeat retail sales data. Japanese shares rise on bargain hunt, cost worries hurt risk appetite "The yen''s weakness against the dollar is good for some companies but also a negative factor for others. Now, investors are focusing on the latter, especially because materials costs are rising," said Yutaka Miura, a senior technical analyst at Mizuho Securities. "But declines in Japanese shares are limited thanks to the solid performance of the US market." The dollar rose to a 16-month high overnight after data showed US consumers looked past rising prices and drove retail sales higher than expected last month.

Why conglomerates break themselves up

12:39pm, Tuesday, 16'th Nov 2021 Axios
Three giant conglomerates announced their breakups in the past week. All of them are seeking to put their recent past behind them. Why it matters: GE, Johnson & Johnson, and Toshiba weren''t the last of the conglomerates. Giants both old and new remain. (Think 3M, or Softbank.) In today''s financially-optimized stock market, however, the arguments for internal diversification have mostly lost the day. Driving the news: GE is splitting into three parts; J&J is splitting into two; Toshiba is splitting into three. In each case, the newly-independent businesses are going to be a lot easier to describe than the sprawling corporate octopi from which they descended. The big picture: When a company underperforms on the stock market, there are often calls to break it up. (See Shell for a recent example.) Financial analysts look at how much each of the component parts would be worth as standalone companies, and calculate that the current whole is worth much less than the sum of the parts. Senior managers generally resist such moves, but an extended period of disappointing stock returns will weaken their position.
