Investment banks earn Rs 2,274 crore from 81 mainboard IPOs
Indian markets moved higher in a quarterly results development.
30 Sept 2026 · Economic Times Markets
During the initial nine months of 2026, investment banks generated fees totaling ₹2,274 crore by managing 81 mainboard IPOs. This figure showcases a notable uptick in both earnings and amounts raised versus last year. The September quarter alone yielded around ₹1,600 crore, highlighting a remarkable rebound in the primary market.
The analysis
Earnings versus expectations is what actually re-rates a stock; the surprise matters more than the absolute number.
Because the driver here is macro rather than company-specific, the read-through is to index-level positioning rather than to any single name — correlations tend to rise when the whole market faces the same signal.
Market context
- This is a market-wide development — its reach goes beyond any single stock.
- Sector exposure: Banks.
