Tempsens Instruments Shares Slide On Profit Booking After Record Listing
Add Preferred News Source
Tempsens Instruments shares slide as investors book profits following the stock’s record listing at a 111% premium.
Tempsens Instruments shares came under pressure on Monday, 31 August 2026. The stock price fell more than 4% on the National Stock Exchange (NSE) after its strong market debut last week. The company was listed on Friday, 28 August, at a premium of 111% over its initial public offering (IPO) price.
So why is a stock that just had a record listing already slipping?
Investors Book Profit After Record Listing
The fall is primarily driven by profit booking, as investors who had entered mainly for the listing pop may have chosen to sell after the sharp debut.
On Monday, the stock opened at ₹579, lower than its previous close of ₹586.65. It then dropped to an intraday low of ₹562.55, a fall of about 4%. At 1:24 pm, Tempsens Instruments shares were trading at ₹569.60, down 2.91% on the National Stock Exchange (NSE).
Even after this decline, Tempsens Instruments is still trading around 92% above its IPO price of ₹300.
The company recently raised ₹650 crore through its IPO, which was subscribed 184 times during the three-day bidding window.
Key details of the IPO:
- Issue size: ₹650 crore
- Fresh issue: ₹95 crore
- Offer for sale (OFS): ₹555 crore by existing shareholders
- Anchor investors: ₹194.54 crore raised ahead of the issue
- Subscription: 184 times
Tempsens Instruments makes thermal-engineering products and specialised cables. Its portfolio includes temperature sensors, non-contact temperature-measurement systems, electrical-heating solutions and specialised cables. These products are used across several industries.
The company is expected to use part of the fresh issue money for growth. Out of ₹73.13 crore in net proceeds, the company plans to spend:
- ₹18.13 crore on capital expenditure for its electrical-heating and specialised-cable businesses
- ₹55 crore on repaying part of its outstanding borrowings
Analysts say a pullback after such a strong listing is not unusual. How the stock moves from here is likely to depend on each investor’s horizon and risk appetite, with short-term and long-term holders viewing the debut differently.
