Book-building process, or bookbuilding process
Māori translation:
Definition
The book-building process is how the final issue or offer price for an IPO is decided based on demand and price that institutional investors indicate they’re willing to pay for each of the company’s shares. If investors want to buy into a company’s IPO, the issue price might be at the higher end of the price band or above it. If investors show less interest, the issue price might be at the lower end or below it.
