Fractal Analytics makes muted market debut, lists at nearly 3% discount Artificial intelligence-focused analytics firm Fractal Analytics made a subdued debut on the stock exchanges on Monday, listing at a discount to its issue price despite strong expectations around its pure-play AI company. The company’s shares opened at Rs 876 on the National Stock Exchange, nearly 3% below the upper end of its IPO price band of Rs 900. A similar trend was visible on the Bombay Stock Exchange. The muted debut comes as its IPO had generated moderate interest during the subscription period. Its IPO booked nearly 2.66 times at the time of bid closure on the final day. According to exchange data, QIBs subscribed 4.18X, followed by Non-Institutional Investors (NIIs) at 1.06 times. The retail investor quota saw muted demand, with subscriptions reaching only 1.03X. Fractal’s public issue was reduced by 42% to Rs 2,834 crore, from the Rs 4,900 crore IPO outlined in its draft red herring prospectus (DRHP) last year. The revised IPO will comprise a fresh issue of shares worth Rs 1,023.5 crore and an offer for sale (OFS) of Rs 1,810.4 crore by existing shareholders. Proceeds from the fresh issue will be used to fund inorganic growth, invest in subsidiaries, meet working capital requirements, and for general corporate purposes. Founded in 2000, Fractal provides artificial intelligence and advanced analytics solutions to global enterprises across sectors such as consumer goods, retail, healthcare, technology and financial services. The company derives a majority of its revenue from overseas markets, particularly the US. On the financial side, Fractal reported consolidated revenue of Rs 2,765 crore in FY25 from Rs 2,196 crore in FY24. Its net profit stood at Rs 220.6 crore in FY25, compared to a loss of Rs 54.7 crore in FY24. For the first half of FY26, it recorded revenue of Rs 1,559 crore and a profit of Rs 71 crore.
