How do IPOs work?

IPOs work by having a company put its shares up for sale to the public. Some common reasons for this include seeking to raise capital for business growth, decreasing or settling debts, positioning itself to better attract and retain talent, or increasing liquidity.

The IPO process starts off with a detailed audit of the company by an external resource – it must be conducted taking all the company’s financials into consideration. Next, a registration statement needs to be prepared by the business and filed with the appropriate exchange commission. If the commission grants approval, the company can then list a set number of shares at a price determined by an investment bank.

FAQs

What are the risks of trading or investing in an IPO?

While all trading and investment activity is risky, IPOs come with additional risks, including:

  • Missing important company information that can affect the share price, eg pending legal cases and intellectual property that isn’t patent protected
  • Ability to factor in trading history in decision making is limited or not possible with companies with a short trading history, or none at all
  • Market expectations that aren’t met
  • A company not succeeding in meeting its target market cap

It’s vital that you have all the relevant information before you take any position. When trading or investing in IPOs, you’ll find useful information in company prospectuses, admission documents and more. Staying informed helps you avoid risks that could affect your trading or investment position.
