The government has identified 39 loss-making companies that launched initial public offerings, based on data stock exchanges submitted to SEBI. As of August 12, 2026, 19 of these firms were still trading above their issue price, ndtvprofit.com reports. The finding counters the notion that all loss-making IPOs end up underwater soon after listing. The remaining 20 stocks have fallen below their offer price.
