In our last edition of IPO Watch a fortnight ago, we noted manganese play Firebird Metals (ASX:FRB) as a mere Firefly Resources (ASX:FFR) spin-off.
Now it’s the best ASX listing in 2021.
In the last fortnight it has surged from 20 cents to 75 cents – a 275 per cent premium to its IPO price.
Firefly, a Tolga Kumova backed gold stock, opted to spin out its sole manganese project at Oakover after success in the precious metals space.
Slightly behind is medical imaging company Singular Health Group (ASX:SHG) which is up 248 per cent since listing, followed by Perth telco Pentanet (ASX:5GG) which is up 200 per cent.
Last week Airtasker (ASX:ART), which listed at 65 cents, surpassed $1.90 in the second day of trading – a gain that would have trumped the lot. It has since retreated but is still more than 70 per cent up since listing.
The ASX’s latest listing Peregine Gold (ASX:PGD) has had a more modest start, gaining 20 per cent on its opening day.
