The primary market pipeline stays busy as five public issues are slated to open beginning 27 Oct, spanning three mainboard listings and two SME offerings. The mix features a prominent consumer-health retailer and multiple logistics/textiles names. Primary-market desks expect strong retail traction but caution that pricing discipline and post-listing liquidity will shape outcomes. Anchor participation, grey-market indications and sector sentiment are cited as near-term signals. With several deals bunching together, allocators are prioritising balance-sheet quality, cash-flow visibility and governance track-record when bidding.
