The mechanism helps stabilize the share price after listing and ensures that strong market demand can be accommodated.According to market experts, the option can provide flexibility during the listing process by reducing price volatility and improving liquidity once trading begins. It also gives investors greater confidence by supporting an orderly market for the company\u2019s shares.Quickmart\u2019s NSE listing is expected to broaden investment opportunities for the public while providing the retailer with access to capital to support its expansion plans. Analysts say the success of the offer will depend on investor appetite, market conditions, and the company\u2019s long-term growth prospects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">#businessnews <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"518\" src=\"https:\/\/theupdatehub.co.ke\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/image-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-298\" srcset=\"https:\/\/theupdatehub.co.ke\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/image-1.png 768w, https:\/\/theupdatehub.co.ke\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/image-1-300x202.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Quinter Ayiera 4th October 2026 Local business news Quickmart\u2019s planned listing on the Nairobi Securities Exchange (NSE) has attracted significant attention from investors, with market analysts highlighting the importance of the over-allotment option in the share offering process.The over-allotment option, commonly known as a \u201cgreenshoe option,\u201d allows the transaction\u2019s underwriters to issue additional shares [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-297","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/theupdatehub.co.ke\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/297","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/theupdatehub.co.ke\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/theupdatehub.co.ke\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theupdatehub.co.ke\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theupdatehub.co.ke\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=297"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/theupdatehub.co.ke\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/297\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":299,"href":"https:\/\/theupdatehub.co.ke\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/297\/revisions\/299"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/theupdatehub.co.ke\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=297"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theupdatehub.co.ke\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=297"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theupdatehub.co.ke\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=297"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
