Elice shares plunge 32% on Korean market debut
Original: Elice shares plunge 32% on Korea debut despite 400-fold retail demand
Elice, a South Korean edtech company, saw its shares fall 32% on its stock market debut despite overwhelming retail interest, with demand reported at roughly 400 times the shares available. The sharp drop on the first trading day came as a surprise to many retail investors who had crowded into the listing, highlighting the gap between IPO enthusiasm and market valuation.
Why now: The steep first-day decline despite record retail oversubscription is striking and is prompting debate about IPO pricing and speculative retail demand.
