Issue Rs 272. P\/E about 96x at listing. Next 10% fall = about Rs 364.5.<\/em><\/p>\n<div style=\"background:#F0F9FF;border-left:4px solid #2E7D32;border-radius:6px;padding:14px 18px;margin:18px 0;\">\n<p style=\"margin:0;color:#1F4E79;font-size:14px;\"><strong>Quick Answer<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin:8px 0 0;\">Orient Cables share price listed at Rs 450 on the NSE on 5 October, a 65.44% premium to the Rs 272 issue price, touched Rs 464.85 and then hit the 10% lower circuit at Rs 405 as investors booked profits. Reports say it fell about 10% again the next day, which would be near Rs 364.50 by my calculation, still about 34% above the issue price. The listing pushed the trailing P\/E to about 96 times against about 58 times at the issue price, while operating cash flow was negative and a Rs 40 crore land purchase and supply chain pressures squeezed margins. IPO allottees remain well in profit, but those who bought near Rs 450 face a sharp loss, so the post-listing price depends on earnings delivery and not on the listing pop.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Orient Cables share price made a stellar debut on Monday, 5 October, listing 65% above its IPO price, and then fell sharply. The networking cables maker opened at Rs 450 on the NSE and Rs 448.10 on the BSE, rose to Rs 464.85 and then slid to Rs 405, locking in a 10% lower circuit with a market capitalisation of about Rs 4,590 crore.<\/p>\n<p>If you hold the stock or applied to the Orient Cables IPO, this article covers the Orient Cables listing at Rs 450 against the Rs 272 issue price, why the Orient Cables share price reversed in the Orient Cables lower circuit, the next-day fall, valuation and P\/E, the IPO subscription and use of proceeds, business, cash flow and financial numbers, the lock-in calendar and the risks. The 6 October level is computed from reports, so recheck live prices.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-top:24px;\"><strong><a

The loss range is my arithmetic from Rs 364.50 and Rs 405 against Rs 450.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Lock-In_Calendar_and_Supply_Risk_for_the_Orient_Cables_Share_Price\"><\/span><strong>Lock-In Calendar and Supply Risk for the Orient Cables Share Price<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Allotment was finalised on 30 September, and under SEBI&#8217;s rules about half of the anchor investors&#8217; shares are typically released after 30 days and the rest after 90 days. That points to roughly 30 October and 29 December, my estimate from the allotment date, so more supply can hit the Orient Cables share price around those dates.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Risks_Behind_the_Orient_Cables_Share_Price\"><\/span><strong>Risks Behind the Orient Cables Share Price<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><strong>Valuation:<\/strong> About 96 times earnings at listing leaves little room for disappointment in the Orient Cables share price.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Cash flow:<\/strong> Negative operating cash flow and rising inventory raise funding needs and weigh on the Orient Cables share price.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Input costs:<\/strong> Copper, polymer and crude price swings squeeze margins and can hurt the Orient Cables share price.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Supply overhang:<\/strong> Anchor and pre-IPO lock-in expiries can add shares.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Volatility:<\/strong> A newly listed stock can hit circuits in both directions.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_to_Watch_Next_for_the_Orient_Cables_Share_Price\"><\/span><strong>What to Watch Next for the Orient Cables Share Price<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<ol>\n<li>Whether the Orient Cables share price stabilises above Rs 364 to Rs 405 or keeps hitting the lower circuit.<\/li>\n<li>The first quarterly results as a listed company, especially cash flow and margins.<\/li>\n<li>Use of the Rs 320 crore fresh issue for capacity and debt reduction.<\/li>\n<li>The 30-day lock-in expiry near 30 October.<\/li>\n<li>Data centre and telecom demand for networking cables.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conclusion\"><\/span><strong>Conclusion<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The Orient Cables share price listed 65% above the issue price at Rs 450, reached Rs 464.85 and then hit the 10% lower circuit at Rs 405, with another 10% fall reported the next day. IPO allottees remain well in profit, but a P\/E near 96 times at listing, negative cash flow and upcoming lock-in expiries make the next leg of the Orient Cables share price depend on results.
