ADNOC Gas, a subsidiary of the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC), experienced a significant increase of 25% in its share price during its $2.5 billion initial public offering on Monday, due to rising demand for fuel. The company, which was launched at the beginning of this year, has become the largest flotation ever on the Abu Dhabi stock exchange. Despite the strong interest, the IPO was oversubscribed even after it was increased from 4.0% to 5.0% of issued share capital. The final offer price of 2.37 dirhams resulted in a market capitalization of around $50 billion, which was close to the upper end of its range. The IPO was more than 50 times oversubscribed, surpassing the previous record set by Saudi Aramco’s $29.4 billion listing over three years ago. This IPO was arranged quickly following the demand for alternative gas resources after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine last year and the increasing need for cleaner fuels in response to global warming concerns
