Investopedia explains 'Stabilizing Bid'
Stabilizing bids are one of many methods used by underwriters to support the price of the IPO. Stabilizing bids may be used to support a stock that has high selling pressure from investors looking to "flip" their purchased shares for a quick profit. Any attempt to use a stabilizing bid by an underwriter must be made known to the regulatory body of the market.
