SBI Funds Management Stock Plummets Below IPO Price One Week After Listing Amid Market Correction
SBI Funds Management shares dipped below its initial public offering (IPO) price on Thursday, continuing a trend of declines just one week after the company’s stock market debut. The plunge has tested investor confidence in the newly listed asset management firm.The stock was trading at Rs 566.50 per share on the NSE at the time of reporting, marking a decline of 1.66 percent during the session. This move followed previous session's losses as well.
Stock Performance Since IPO Debut

Declining Trend Highlights Market Pressure
