What does ipo subsribed 2 times mean?

When an IPO is "subscribed 2 times," the total demand for the shares offered in the Initial Public Offering (IPO) is twice as much as the number of shares available.

For example, if a company offers 10 million shares in its IPO, and investors have placed orders for 20 million shares, the IPO is said to be "subscribed 2 times."

Subscription ratio = (Shares Subscribed / Shares Available)

Subscription ratio = 20 million / 10 million = 2x (times)

This means the IPO is subscribed 2 times, which indicates that investors have placed orders for twice the number of shares available in the offering.
