12-May-14 [3:28pm] Saga IPO Grey Market Update

Looking at the screenshot of the Financial Spreads prices below, it looks like there's a little pressure to the downside on the Saga IPO grey market.

Saga IPO Market Cap - Grey Market


The chart above is showing the mid point of the market which has only been running since 7 May.

After an initial burst of enthusiasm, the market traded higher but dropped on Friday to 280-310, i.e. valuing the firm at £2.80bn to £3.10bn.

The drop was probably on the back of the announcement that, although there's been quite a bit of interest in the IPO, the company may release more shares for the IPO than previously anticipated.

Saga IPO Grey Markets



A number of spread betting companies are now offering IPO grey markets on Saga:

(other firms might also be offering a market).

How Does the Saga Grey Market Work?

Looking at Financial Spreads, their market is based on the market capitalisation of Saga at the end of the first day of trading.

The first day of trading is the first day of unconditional trading, i.e. when Saga officially list on the London Stock Exchange.

The market is currently at 315 - 345, where each point represents £10m.

Therefore, Financial Spreads are estimating that the Saga market cap, at the end of the first day of trading, will be £3.15 - £3.45bn.

That is certainly higher than a number of newspaper reports, which are putting the valuation in the £2.5 - £3bn area.

Of course, the good thing about spread betting is that you don't have to back a market to move higher. You can also short a market, in this case you'd short it at 315, i.e. you'd be spread betting on the market cap to be lower than £3.15bn.
