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.
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.
