A survey of international asset managers—combined, they hold $3.8 trillion of assets under management—found that the shares in Saudi Aramco being sold by the Saudi government are over-valued by up to one-third. Just as troubling is that just 13% of those same asset managers would buy shares at the current price range set by the world’s biggest oil producer.

And for Saudis the bank did provide big loans up to 6 months salary to subscribe for the IPO. And according to the stats only 6.5% was taken by the international Investors . So the IPO still didn't provide the boost they they expected. Still TDWL didn't announce the first trading date.

Considering all these factors even though its the biggest IPO in the history its far behind the expectations. Shocked
