Aramco IPO Retail Offering Is Fully Covered With One Day to Go
(Bloomberg) –The retail tranche of Saudi Aramco’s initial public offering is fully covered with one day to go.
Subscription reached 32.6 billion riyals ($8.7 billion) with 3.7 million people signing up, lead manager Samba Capital said. Most transactions were made online and at bank branches.
Retail investors are key to the IPO as the deal became a mainly regional affair. About a third of the offering was set aside for them and many Saudis were keen to invest in the deal fraught with delays.
