Now, let’s break down what an initial public offering (IPO) entails. An IPO is the process through which a private company transitions to becoming a publicly traded entity by offering shares to investors on an exchange. This enables companies to raise capital. However, before becoming publicly listed, a company must meet SEC requirements and work with investment banks to determine pricing, offering date, and other crucial data points.
During the IPO process, companies and investment banks work together to establish a price range within which the stock is expected to sell. This is known as the offering range. Once a company goes public, its stock will have an opening price. It is important to note that there is usually a lock-up period following an IPO, during which company insiders, such as employees with a 10% or higher stake, are restricted from selling their shares.
