An IPO Primer

      An IPO (Initial Public Offering) is the sale of stock by a private company to the public for the first time. A company seeking to start selling shares of its ownership to the public will contract with a brokerage firm(s) or investment bank(s) (the underwriters) to purchase the block of shares that they have to offer. The underwriters in turn offer 100% of these shares to their clients who may place an Indication to buy the shares at an estimated price range prior to the first day of trading (the opening). The final price of the IPO to those clients is set the evening prior or morning of their initial trade.

       A significant difference between investing in shares of companies that are already publicly traded and IPO's is that there has not been a long record of regularly reported publicly available audited information on the IPO. Part of IPO Boutique's value to subscribers is providing timely analysis to bridge this information gap. As with any equity purchase there are risks. The IPO Boutique research department has extensive experience evaluating, buying and selling IPO's; it is their passion. We invite you to look at our Track Record to help determine if you might profit from buying IPO's with an IPO Boutique advisory subscription.
