Summary

Shares of Fractal Analytics listed on BSE/NSE with a muted opening response. Read more as the shares were listed at 3% discount on the NSE.

Fractal Analytics IPO is listed on 16 February 2026. The shares of Fractal Analytics have been listed at 3% discount.

Fractal Analytics IPO Final Day Subscription Status

The primary market had witnessed a dramatic turnaround with the Fractal Analytics IPO final day subscription status. The company closed its initial public offering on 11 February 2026.

After two days of cautious observation, the issue received increased interest on its final day, reaching a more than double overall subscription.

The Qualified Institutional Buyers (QIB) segment led the charge. Non-Institutional Investors (NII) and retail investor segments also reached oversubscription on the final day.

This late-stage momentum is particularly important given the issue's earlier slow start. However, the final day surge, especially from the institutional investors, seems to indicate a strong underlying conviction in Fractal’s long-term artificial intelligence roadmap.

The final day’s performance has successfully cleared the path for its grand debut on the stock exchanges.

How Did The Three-Day Bidding Journey Evolve?

The subscription journey for Fractal Analytics was a story of three distinct phases i.e., initial hesitation, steady buildup, and final-day aggression.

Here are the tables providing a comparative look at how different investor classes moved from the sidelines to the centre stage.

Institutional And HNI Participation (Day 1 to Final Day)


QIB (Ex-Anchor)	0	0.03	4.41
NII (Total)	0.02	0.15	1.11
Big NII (> ₹10L)	0.01	0.19	1.24
Small NII (< ₹10L)	0.04	0.07	0.86

The "Big NII" segment that includes wealthy NIIs bidding for larger lots, was more aggressive than the "Small NII" segment. This aligned with the usual institutional trend of late-stage entry.

Retail And Employee Enthusiasm


Retail Individual	0.11	0.18	1.1
Employees	0.03	0.04	0.65

The retail category crossed the full subscription mark, but showed a more linear growth. Thus, the individual investors showed a disciplined approach.

Overall Issue Progression (Day 1 to Final Day)


Total Subscription	0.03x	0.09x	2.81x
Bidding Sentiment	Cautious	Improving	Aggressive

The huge jump in total applications on the third and the final day reflects a widespread "Fear of Missing Out" (FOMO) that often grips the market once the institutional quota begins to fill up rapidly.
