oversubscribed Finance Definition
A term used in underwriting to describe a new stock or bond issue that has more buyers than available shares. If an offering is oversubscribed, its price will often shoot up once it begins trading in the market. By using a green shoe provision, which allows the underwriter to sell more shares, the underwriter can modestly increase the number of shares offered.
