An Initial Public Offering or首次公开募股is the very first sale of stock to the public by a private company. This is also known as 'going public'. There are two kinds of companies who will undertake an IPO:
- Startup companies looking to raise capital and investors
- Large private companies looking to become publicly traded
A company looking to conduct an首次公开募股will usually employ aninvestment bankto help with the首次公开募股, with the advisory service provided including valuation and timing. Investing in首次公开募股companies is usually risky as there is no historical data on the performance of the stock and the stock of newly public companies typically tends to fluctuate wildly after and on the首次公开募股date.
