The primary (IPO) market has delivered some outsized winners in 2026, with three mainboard initial public offerings (IPOs) emerging as clear multibaggers for investors who held on after listing.

So far in CY26, 44 companies from the mainboard segment have made their stock-market debut, raising an estimated Rs 67,185.6 crore collectively.
The broader IPO performance has also remained encouraging. Of the 44 mainboard IPOs that listed in 2026, 34 stocks are currently trading above their issue prices, while 10 are in the red. Collectively, the stocks have delivered an average gain of 28.44 per cent from their IPO issue prices.
Listing-day Performance Remains Positive
Investor appetite for newly listed stocks was also visible on debut day. Of the 44 mainboard IPOs, 30 stocks opened above their issue prices, while 14 opened below the issue price. The average listing gain stood at 7.30 per cent.
By the end of the listing session, 28 stocks were trading in the green, while 16 closed below their issue prices. The average gain at the listing-day close stood at 7.41 per cent.
