Saudi Aramco IPO oversubscribed so far, but not by big margin
RIYADH/LONDON: Saudi Aramco’s initial public offering (IPO) was on course to be oversubscribed but not by a huge margin, according to figures released so far by the lead manager before a Dec. 4 close for institutional investors to submit offers.
Bids received by Friday from institutional and retail investors totalled $44.3 billion, lead manager Samba Capital said, about 1.7 times the value Saudi Arabia aims to raise from selling a 1.5% stake in the state-owned oil giant.
