Investopedia explains 'Undigested Securities'

The issue could be unappealing to investors for a number of different reasons. There could be negative press surrounding the issue, current economic conditions could be dampening interest in new securities issues, an array of other financial information could be flooding the investment community to the point where the new issues simply have not been analyzed due to time constraints, and so on. Just because a security is undigested doesn't mean it is low quality.
