Stock Market - Investment Planning

Initial Public Offering - IPO

Generally, the very first sale of company shares to the public is termed Initial Public Offerings (IPOs). IPOs are often issued by smaller/younger companies seeking the capital to expand, but the approach can also be used by large companies. In an IPO process, the issuer company obtains the assistance of an underwriting firm, which helps in determining what type of security to issue (common or preferred), the best offering price and the launching time.

IPOs can be a risky investment, especially, for the individual investor, it is tough to predict what the stock will do on its initial day of trading and in the near future because there is often little historical data with which to analyse the company. In addition, mostly, the IPOs proposing companies going through a transitory growth period, which are subject to additional uncertainty regarding their future values.

The issuing of shares through an IPO is one of the primary reason of stock markets' existence, so that the IPO process is the locomotive of stock market. Entrepreneurs, venture capitalists and angel investors consider the IPOs a realistic benchmark of a new and growing firm.
