Demand read
Jersey Mike's brings the widest distribution of any deal on the calendar this week. Thirty-three banks, with Morgan Stanley, Jefferies, and J.P. Morgan as global coordinators — a book assembled that deep is itself an observable demand condition, and the syndicate reads at the top of the underwriter scale. Against that: 43,478,261 shares priced at $23.00 puts $1.000 billion of paper into a single session, and approximately 68% of the offering is secondary — shares sold by existing holders rather than the company. Net proceeds to the business run about $301 million at the final price, with roughly $295 million earmarked for repayment of the Series 2026-1 Notes rather than growth. The composite reads HIGH. The demand index measures conditions observable before pricing. It is not a forecast and not financial advice.
