On Wednesday in the Philippine Stock Exchange (PSE), ALLDY have set the final offer price at P0.60 share means it decreases the initially proposed price which is P0.80. AllDay’s offer period starts on October 18,2021 and will run until October 25, 2021, while its market debut is set for November 3, 2021 under the ticker symbol, “ALLDY.”

“Not sure why they decided to price lower but definitely demand will be strong as a result,” said in the text message by Mr. Luis Limlingan, the sales head at local brokerage Regina Capital. “As the firm opens more stores, we believe that ALLDY will be able to sustain the uptrend of its profitability and steadily take away more and more market share from the big mid-premium supermarket players,” Mr. Luis Limlingan added.
