An IPO or Initial Public Offering is the process by which private companies list on a stock exchange and become public companies. They can present opportunities for investors to obtain stock in new 'hot' companies at the time when they first become public companies.
IPO’s present both opportunities and risks for investors. Opportunities include the ability to obtain stock in new companies at an early point in their life-cycle and potentially profit from many years of growth. Risks include the fact that these companies typically have limited operating histories which makes an analysis of past performance quite tricky. Furthermore, the process by which the price of a new IPO is determined is not the same process by which the market determines prices for openly traded stocks. This can cause significant gaps in the opening price for a new listing compared to its IPO price.
Some of the prices in the below table can also show Nil dollars. This means the IPO has been announced but no price has been set for this IPO yet. Don’t forget to frequently check back or subscribe to our IPO updates to see if there is further information for these listings.
