Small IPOs deliver 17% gains in 2026, Kotak report says
In short
Small IPOs were reported to have gained 17% in 2026 and done better than larger issues. A publisher summary says SMIDs also outperformed large-caps in the secondary market.
This matters because investors may be favoring smaller issues and related themes. The report does not name the IPOs or say which themes drove the gains.
What the reporting says
Small IPOs delivered 17% gains in 2026 and beat larger issues, according to the headline and a Business Standard Finance summary referencing a Kotak report. The publisher summary adds that SMIDs outperformed large-caps in secondary markets, driven by select themes.

Why it matters
Small IPOs were reported to have delivered 17% gains in 2026, beating larger issues in a Kotak-linked report summary. The available material also says SMIDs outperformed large-caps in secondary markets, driven by select themes, but it does not identify those themes or list the offerings. This points to stronger appetite for smaller listings, though the exact market names and timing are not stated.
