Question 1

When are upcoming IPOs announced?

Accepted Answer

Dates and the price band are usually announced a few days before the IPO opens, when the company files its red herring prospectus (RHP). IPOs without dates are listed at the end.

Question 2

Is there a GMP before an IPO opens?

Accepted Answer

Often, yes: the grey market starts quoting a premium once the price band is known. Treat it as an early, unofficial indication; it changes as bidding starts.
