Top stock in focus: Meesho shares slip after 2x IPO surge, analysts reassess fair value

After an explosive post listing rally,shares came under pressure on December 22, 2025, trading nearly 6–7% lower around the ₹209–₹212 range. The decline follows a rapid doubling from the IPO price, prompting profit booking amid tight free float and technical exhaustion. Market participants point to settlement dynamics, limited tradable supply, and short covering effects that earlier amplified gains. As momentum cools, focus has shifted to fundamentals, with early brokerage views split on valuation comfort and the pace at which Meesho can scale monetisation, logistics efficiency, and profitability in the coming quarters.
