Madup's Successful Kosdaq Entry Highlights Growing Demand for AI Marketing Solutions

AI-focused marketing solution provider Madup has successfully debuted on the Kosdaq market, experiencing an impressive 178% increase in its opening share price. Attracting massive institutional and retail demand, the listing positions the firm to accelerate its global expansion and enhance its proprietary AI marketing infrastructure throughout the coming year.

Explosive market entry

  • On its first day of trading, Madup's share price surged to 22,250 won, marking a 178.13% gain over its initial public offering price of 8,000 won.

  • The offering generated intense excitement, with a record-breaking retail competition rate of 3,305 to 1 and approximately 6.6 trillion won in subscription deposits.

  • Institutional interest was equally robust, with 2,392 institutions participating in the bookbuilding process, leading to a final IPO price at the high end of the expected range.

Technology and strategy
