Initial public offerings (IPOs) ratio of gain-loss stood at 1:4 in last 5 years as analysis of 257 IPOs, which were launched during the last five years, showed that investors have lost money in the 204, while in balance 53 investors are still in the profit. This is despite the current turmoil in the market, which has shaved about 55% off the BSE Sensex in the last 11 months.

The IPOs showing profit are Educomp Solutions and Indiabulls Financial Services, which have given over 1,000% return since their respective IPOs, after adjusting for bonus, split, demerger of businesses etc. Apart from these two, there are nine stocks, which have at least doubled investors' money since IPO.
