Oversubscribed

Māori translation:
Definition

Oversubscribed is when investors have requested more shares in a company during an IPO than there are available, meaning demand exceeds supply. An oversubscribed IPO means investors are keen to buy the company's shares, often leading to a higher IPO share price or more shares offered for sale. This is opposite to an undersubscribed IPO.
