But what exactly are IPOs and what do they mean for investors?
An initial public offering, or IPO, is the transitional process of a private company deciding to go public and offer shares to investors on an exchange. The main purpose of an IPO is to allow companies to raise capital. However, before a company can go public, it must meet the requirements set by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and work with investment banks through audits to determine pricing, offering date, and other important data points.
During the IPO process, companies and investment banks collaborate to establish a price range within which the stock is expected to sell. This range is known as the offering range. Once the company goes public, its stock is given an opening price. It is important to note that there is typically an insider lock-up period, which is a set number of days after the IPO where company insiders, such as employees with a 10% or higher stake, are restricted from selling their shares.
For investors, IPOs can present an opportunity to invest in promising companies at an early stage. It allows them to potentially benefit from the growth and success of the company in the long run. However, investing in IPOs also comes with risks, as the performance of the stock in the initial trading period can be volatile.
