Ithaca Energy, a subsidiary of Delek Holdings, held the biggest initial public offering (IPO) on a British exchange for 2022. Unfortunately, after the stock’s debut on the London Stock Exchange, it dropped considerably in value.

The Ithaca Energy IPO was also the 5th largest in Europe so far this year. The IPO left the company with a valuation of 2.5 billion GBP ($2.9 billion). Delek Group offered for sale 105 million ordinary shares in Ithaca Energy, representing 10.4% of the subsidiary’s issued share capital.

However, things went downhill from there. Reuters reported that Ithaca’s shares fell as much as 11.6% below their 250 pence (2.5 GBP or $2.85) issue price, touching a low of 221 pence shortly after midday. At 16:17 GMT, the shares were down 8.1% at 229.70 pence ($2.62).
