IPO Amir Chand Jagdish Kumar Share Price Falls on Listing Day; Can It Rebound on Monday?

On Thursday, Indian Markets closed on a negative note, with the Nifty 50 declining 2.04 per cent to trade at Rs 22,261 in the morning session. However, by 3:00 PM, the index recovered from its Intraday low of Rs 22,182 to close at Rs 22,713.10, marking a recovery of approximately 2.39 per cent.

Amid the broader market weakness, Amir Chand Jagdish Kumar made its stock market debut on the NSE and BSE. On the listing day, the share price declined 15.09 per cent from its issue price and hit the Lower Circuit at Rs 180. The weak listing performance comes amid prevailing market sentiment, with the company’s revenue largely dependent on exports, which may be influencing investor caution.

Why the Stock Fell 15.09 per cent on Listing Day: High Middle East Exposure and Geopolitical Risks

The decline in the stock price appears to be linked to the company’s significant dependence on export markets, particularly the Middle East, along with Europe, Africa, Australia and other regions. For FY25, exports contributed 38.27 per cent of total revenue, amounting to approximately Rs 2,004.03 crore. In the first half of FY26, exports accounted for 32.43 per cent, with revenue of around Rs 1,024.30 crore, with a major share coming from the Middle East.

Ongoing geopolitical tensions involving Iran, the US and Israel have created uncertainty in the Middle East, which may affect trade and demand. Since the company has a high exposure to this region, investors are concerned about possible business impact, which has likely led to the decline in the stock price.

Can the Share Price Rebound to Its Listing Level?

Recent movements in the USD/INR pair may provide some support to the company’s outlook. The Indian Rupee depreciated by approximately 4.72 per cent over the past month, reaching an all-time high of Rs 95.22 per US dollar. However, in the last three days, the rupee has appreciated by around 2.5 per cent from its peak and was trading near Rs 93.14 per US dollar as of March 2, 2026.

The company derives a significant portion of its revenue from export markets, and a weaker rupee generally supports export realisations by making Indian goods more competitive globally. This currency trend could cushion the revenue in the near to medium term, potentially aiding recovery in the stock price. Having said that, the overhang remains as a major share of revenue comes from the Middle East.
